Sister Nicole Scharman: "huan ni" (your turn)

We both think we look awful but the food was good.
The workers picked it out for us.
(peanut butter french toast) they know we are american lol

This last week was transfers but I am staying! I am still getting used to saying goodbye to people.

I think this week was successful. We have a new English investigator she is so cute! And we still have a really good number of baptismal dates! They are all super good potentials and we are meeting with them this week! We are super excited! Our most progressing investigator Zhang Dx is awesome and keeping all of the commandments, but he doesn't have the desire to be baptized right now. He has been asking the question "why can't I wait till I am old to get baptized?" He doesn't have that faith. Sister Knapp and I have been studying, praying, and thinking about how to help him develop faith. We have that same problem with our investigator Ana. How do you help someone develop their own faith? I think that's the part that's hardest for me as a missionary, seeing these people you have come to love grow and progress. but then they don't open their hearts all the way to let the spirit testify of the truth. I hope they will open their hearts to the spirit and really sincerely pray to get an answer.

We were going finding last night, Sister Knapp said "huan ni" (your turn) and pointed to a door bell. I rung it and the door to the stairs opened. In my head I thought "this looks super creepy and I don't want to walk up those stairs" but we did and from it we met the most amazing mom. Her English name is Annie. (they love it when you call them by their English names) and she has two kids. They were sleeping so we didn't get to meet them. We are going to meet with her soon :) When satan puts bad thoughts in your mind don't listen to them okay?

We met with our investigator He Dx. He is so amazing. He loves going to church he wants to attend more then one ward! He has a baptism date for May 14th. In his prayer at the end of our lesson he prayed to be able to get baptized earlier then his date. Isn't that so amazing? We are blessed to know him.

I love Taiwan. I love being here, I love being in the city because there are ALWAYS people to talk to. It's so fun to talk to people when we are waiting at a stop light. We hardly see any white people in our area, but there were two ladies walking in front of us. I started walking fast to catch up to them but was thinking of what I was going to say, but all that came to my mind was Chinese (which is cool but not what I needed) I ended up scaring the ladies when I said hi, but after that our conversation went pretty good.

My older brother James had a birthday last week!! Happy birthday to him!

Sister Knapp is amazing and I am so grateful for her example to me and I have learned a lot from her.

I am excited for this week and grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary!

Thanks for the love and support! have a good week!

Love,

Sister Scharman
