Sister Nicole Scharman: Last Week With My Trainer

Lehi friends! 6 of 8!

This week was a special one! (they are all so special)

We saw many miracles this week and here are some stories that are dear to my heart.

On Wednesdays we usually eat with our district after we go English boarding (Passing out English Class tracts). But we were the only ones that could stay the whole time. Since we were unfamiliar with the area we were in we didn't know where to eat. We walked around for a bit then we finally just sat at one place on the street. The worker was really cute and sweet, she later told us that right as we sat down and told her we share the gospel she knew that it was from God and an answer to her prayers.

This is the cute lady we met (:

One of our investigators parents are both sick. When we met with him we prayed for his parents to simply feel better. We called him a few days later to change the time we would meet with him and he thanked us for our prayer "Your prayer really worked. Your God really answers prayers." Its so amazing to see others recognizing gods hand in their lives.

Another story is another one of our investigators. He has a drinking problem, we haven't taught him the word of wisdom but he knows that he shouldn't drink it. The other night he calls panicked telling us that he drank, and asking us to pray for him. So with the phone on speaker phone in our apartment I said a prayer for him. After the prayer he yells out "HALLELUJAH" hahahahaha he is so funny.

Our Investigator Rachel happier then ever. The other day she was really down and wasn't happy. So She turned to the Book of Mormon. She told us the Book of Mormon brings her happiness. I think that is the best thing I have ever heard. She finally got to go to church this week. I have never seen anyone more excited. And I have never been more excited to help someone to go to church. She loved it!!

Zhang Dx at church yesterday shared his testimony about the Book of Mormon during the combined Priesthood and Relief Society hour.

This is why I love missionary work. I get to see these people change their lives and get to be part of it. I am so grateful to be a representative of Jesus Christ and that I get to share the gospel that means so much to me.

If you didn't know this year is the 60th year missionaries have been in Taiwan. So cool right? This week we had a few special events because of it! We got to hear from Brother Kitchen who is one of the first missionaries to serve in Taiwan. He started his talk telling us about how when he turned in his papers he was fine with going anywhere but didn't want to go somewhere in Asia... Sounds like me doesn't it? hahaha we practically have the same story. We both realized that Taiwan is the best place and best mission for us. It was really cool to meet him and to listen to his experiences!

This is Brother Kitchen!

I get a new companion this next week! I am so grateful that Sister Knapp was my trainer! She is an awesome missionary and I have learned lots from her. I am excited and looking forward to the changes coming up!
