February 28, 2017 - Sun Moon Lake, Chinese Temple and Diagon Alley

Last week on P-day our zone went to Sun Moon Lake. It was really fun. My first companion from my last area, TaiBao, Elder Fuller, is in my Zone now so he went to Sun Moon Lake too.

This was the first time my current companion, Elder Shakespeare, had the opportunity to go to the lake.

Beautiful Sun Moon Lake

Our Zone had a great time at Sun Moon Lake

My mom wanted me to try and find a rock with carving on it to bring home as a souvenir. Apparently they are popular in Taiwan, but I haven't been able to find any. I came across this one but I don't think I will be able to pack it in my suitcase, 

this one might be a little bit too big! 

We also went to this temple last p-day. 

This temple was classy and the nicest one I have been to in Taiwan.

There is this weird street in our area that we have been tracting, it is actually kind of creepy. We call it Diagon Alley because it reminds us of somewhere the death-eaters from Harry Potter's wizarding world would go to hang out or buy supplies.

People in Taiwan have alters in their homes that have a red light on them. Many of the homes on this "street" (which really is more like an alley in the United States) have these alter lights and it gives an eerie glow. 

I thought I would use my "magic wand umbrella" to try to wizard my way through this brick wall. There are also some big dogs on this street too, so I am not really looking forward to returning to tract here but our area is so small that I'm sure I will see Diagon Alley again. Our teaching pool is very small right now and we could really use your prayers to help us find those who are ready to hear the gospel.

Have a great week! Love, Elder Erwin
