Its been a weird few days since we last talked.
At church a random guy showed up who apparently went to my English class last week and then just decided to come to church. That was pretty sweet. Even more awesome, he later showed up unexpectedly at the new member fireside that night too, which is all the way up by the temple. Seems like a really prepared guy!
Speaking of the temple, our ward mission leader got sealed the other day and invited us to come, which was super cool. Then guess what? He came out and did some missionary work that night. On his wedding night! We tried to reschedule but he insisted because his wife was at a choir practice that night anyways, so we got to spend the night riding around in a our ward mission leader's Mercedes Benz on his wedding night doing missionary work. Pretty crazy. He thought it was super fun too and wants to do it every week now! He is such a legend.
Today we went to 六福村主題遊樂園, probably the most well known theme park in Taiwan. A few weeks ago a member came up to us and was like, hey, want to go? So today we went with him and one of our Recent Converts. Seeing as theme parks are kind of my thing it's been quite a memorable pday. Some of the main rides were closed or under referbishment but I guess that's the price we have to pay for coming during the off season and having the park to ourselves. Everything was more or less walk on so it was a ton of fun. Funny thing is, the member and our Recent convert weren't always down to go on some of the bigger rides so they would wait for us while taking a bunch of pictures and videos. But now I have a bunch of cool pictures and videos of my companion and I on rides!
Taiwan is the best, loving the work. The other day, after a lesson where Elder Bunn and I straight taught the Restoration for a little over an hour, we got home and just sat a little in awe about how true this thing whole thing is, and how the blessings of the Gospel are so so real. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to teach that to others.
Hope you have a great week,
Elder Neilson
As promised here are some cool pictures.
One is from last P-day where I had to bike home with a ton of packages. And the others are from today at the theme park.
Oh and here is a funny video of Elder Bunn and I at the park doing a sort of Egyptian themed spy laser game. you can't really see any of the Lazers in the video so it's pretty funny.
