I love you all! I am so excited to talk to you in a couple weeks.
Hopefully it will all work out without any kinks. KJ, I asked
President Bishop and he said that if we can work out a three-way call
I can talk to you, but I can't call you directly. From what mom was
saying about the times I don't think we will be able to talk for
another couple of months. Bummer! But I love you tons and am excited
that you will get to talk to mom. Keep up the good work down in
Florida!
I am so happy to hear that David and Rachel are finally done with
their stressful couple of last months at BYU. It will be weird going
back to BYU without them there. Georgia sounds awesome though! I am
excited to go visit! :D I am glad that mom had a fun, safe trip that I
am assuming ended with getting home safely as well. Congratulations to
those that are done with school, and keep working hard to those that
are still going.
This was a really good week here in the Nothern most parts of
Taichung. I love being a missionary! Everyday I have experiences that
help me come to understand and love Our Savior on a new and different
level. This week we found out that one of our investigator's has a law
of chastity problem that is really difficult for her. It was so
amazing to feel the Spirit in the room as Sister Howard and I talked
with her and bore testimony of the power of the Savior's Atonement.
This sister is so humble and wants so badly to understand the church.
I am so grateful that I can be here in Taiwan helping in the fight
against Satan's evil lures. It is so sad to see all the ways that he
twists and turns the pure and true doctrine of Jesus Christ. I love my
Savior!
I love tracting! I love being able to teach people about Jesus Christ
right there in their homes. It's so great! Last night we had a really
cool experience right before we were getting ready to head home and
call it a night. We had knocked on a few doors with no success when we
realized we hadn't prayed. So we stopped and I said the prayer. While
praying I asked that someone would be willing to let us in to their
house so that we could share the plan of salvation with them without
knowing where that thought had come from. When first meeting someone
we share the Restoration, not usually the plan of salvation, so it was
a little weird that that was what I was inspired to pray for. After
the prayer we walked to the next door when a lady and two boys drove
by and said (in English) "hello". Thinking they might have English
class interest I followed them down the road a bit and started talking
to them. We quickly found out that they are a very Christian family
and missionaries had come to their house before. They invited us in
and we started talking with them. When we found out that missionaries
had been there before, they had seen the Book of Mormon and even knew
who Joseph Smith is I realized that Heavenly Father really does have
bigger plans than I do. He knew that family didn't need another lesson
on the Restoration but that they needed the Plan of Salvation. I don't
know if this little story makes any sense, but I guess what I am
trying to say is that Heavenly Father is truly aware of each one of
us. He knew that there was a family on that street that already
believed in Christ, knew a little about the restoration and who's
father/grandfather had passed away a couple of years ago. I love being
able to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord! There is no greater
thing that I could be doing right now.
I love you all so much. I want you to know that I know now, more than
ever that this truly is the true and complete Church of Jesus Christ.
I can't wait to see how much more I will come to know Jesus Christ
over the next year. I have just about 13 months left which seems so
long, yet so short at the same time. Ahh! I know the Lord has so much
He needs my help with before my mission ends. I am so excited to see
what that is!
Thank you for your love and your emails. I have the greatest family
ever! But really, I do.
Love you,
Sister Amy Reece
