This week was kind of crazy but because I am pressed for time I will just give you a little overview. At the beginning of the week we helped our investigator by dedicating her house... unfortunately she refused a baptismal goal, she likes her other church and is not willing to change. We tried to tell her the blessing of a home is conditional on the terms of repentance and willingness to follow Jesus Christ. She did not really listen so we had to let her go for right now.
The next day I was hit by a car in the center of the intersection. They were crossing over at the last minute to get onto the freeway so they were not going too fast, it was mostly the shock that upset me. They knocked me off my bike, in the end I made it out with just a swollen ankle, pulled muscle and some scrapes. The man just left after I got up and moved out of the intersection. In the United States, that would be a hit and run but in Taiwan it is just the way it is.
We ran into a crazy man who said he was the literal Jehovah... Need I say more?
I went on exchanges with Elder Thomas, my old friend from my first area in Zhang Hua. We started there together and will go home together. It was a fun exchange full of singing because Elder Thomas sounds like someone who deserves to be on the radio. He literally will be famous someday.
I thought I would include some pics of Elder Shakespeare tracting so you can see some of the Taiwan that we see everyday. Elder Shakespeare is doing well, I feel bad because we don't have a lot of people to teach so the chances for him to speak Chinese are a little less. He is a super hard worker though, he studies like crazy, but it just doesn't come together until you get to practice hearing it and saying it.
That was pretty much the interesting stuff of this week. We are going to Nantou to go to Sun Moon Lake, I'm excited to go because I haven't been there since my first area when I went there with my trainer Elder Brady.
Sorry I don't have time to write more.
Love you all! Elder Erwin
