Saturday was amazing, we had a Relief Society activity but
we were kind of late, so we didn't know if we should go or not. So we prayed
about it and felt either way was ok, so we decided to go and see who was there
and get to know the ward members. This was the better choice. One of the less
active members was there. So we were able to talk to her, and she came to
church on Sunday!! We need to be involved, if the ward doesn't get to know us
they would be as comfortable coming with us to lessons. After that we met with
another less active and invited her to church. We really felt that we needed to
be more adamant about her coming to church and helping her daughter have church
in their lives. I know this is want she needs and it will change her daughter’s
lives. It has been a really long time since she has come, but I knew she would
come and she did, she came to church!!! That night we met with an investigator
that hasn't really been progressing. But we taught a really good lesson, she
really knew this lesson was for her. I don't know what changed, but it is so
important to follow the spirit to know what our investigators need to learn and
to hear.
I have to tell you a funny story. So this week we visited an
elder lady, an investigator, she is so cute and loves having us over. She had
cut up bananas and put black sesame seeds on top, and left it out, in
preparation for us to come over. (I have never seen black sesame seeds till I
came to Taiwan but they are the same as white sesame seeds.) and she must have
had it out, but she brought it over and it was crawling with ants. Sister Adams
and I looked at each other, and I didn't really know what to do, Sister Adams
said, just eat it. We thought the whole plate was ants because of the black
sesame seeds, but thank goodness it wasn't. There were still a far amount
of ants crawling on it but it was an interesting experience. We survived,
and we laughed about it. It was one of those experiences you never forget. :)
Sunday was full of miracles. We got to church at 8:30am for
the Dali/Wufeng ward, then had the missionary meeting then went to the Danqu
ward, which started at 2:00pm to 5:00pm. We were at church a long time. We had
so many people come to church. We had investigators that had never come to
church before come, and less actives that hadn't come in a really long time
come to church. It was amazing. Our one investigator wanted to take us out to
eat, but we said we couldn't. We went with her to meet one of her friends. And
it was a really good experience. After we could have gone home or visited
another less active. Prayed about it and decided it would be better to visit
the less active than to go home (we still needed to eat dinner and have
studies). So we went and visited her. We found out that she has been in lot of
pain recently so we are going to have some brothers from the church give her a
Priesthood blessing. I really hope we can help her. :)
Taiwan is amazing and it is an incredible blessing to serve
God’s children in Taiwan and to do everything I can to communicate with them.
Love Sister Basko
