恭喜發財!!!

Today is the first day of Chinese New Year! I'm so excited to learn more about this amazing culture and spending time with our amazing Members!

This week has been full of some amazing miracles and good times!

- We played frisbee 3 days in a row this week! It's been a party and so much fun! Funny story: we play at this field that is next to a river and between the river and field is this ginormous thicket of random bushes and other plants. Well at one point the frisbee went into this thicket, haha and it took all 6 Elders to find it. It was hilarious to watch them trying to find it when 1 of the Elders was less than helpful by running around trying to scare them. It might have been a had to be there moment but it was fun!

- We ate dinner with 2 of our members this week.
1. One of the Ward Missionaries and her son. They are absolutely amazing, well we had a planned this amazing spiritual share on faith. Well Emily (the mom) started telling us how God has been testing her faith recently but because of it she has been growing! Totally took the words right out of our mouths! Its amazing to see how when we study for our friends/members how God prepares them to receive our messages.
2. We ate with our Relief Society President and her adorable daughter. After we ate we were talking to the RS President when he daughter asks me to come play Chinese Chess with her. So we go and she is telling me how to play, I'm only understanding about 20% of what shes saying because shes talking super fast and its a 6 year old explaining a game. Well we played, and it consisted of me moving random pieces and her winning. It was hilarious and so much fun!

- Amazing miracles we've seen this week have been from street contacts. That is something I've never been very good at, but Sister Distajo is amazing at! We've been able to get about 6-8 phone numbers and set ups from talking to people. It's so cool to see the miracles from just opening your mouth and doing what the Lord asks. I'm still not the best at it but I'm learning a lot! I absolutely love Taiwan and the people here! They are so nice and incredibly sweet! I've been so blessed to serve them!

I love you all!
Love, Sister Porter 包姐妹
