Taiwan week 10

Colby's letter this week talked of the chance to go on "splits" with the Zone Leaders. That means he got to be with his former companion, Elder Buenning. He was happy about that. There was a baptism, too. Yay!!! :D He says:

"It is interesting to see how the time passes so quickly. Looking back on my mission so far, I can see just how much I really have been blessed. Looking forward, I want to continue to progress and obtain the goals that I have set for myself... I know that as we follow the plan that the Lord has in mind for us, we will be blessed, and become what we need in order to best serve him."

He also told us about a nut that many people in Taiwan are addicted to. When they chew it their saliva turns blood red. People buy it from scantily clad vendors. The boxes usually have pornographic pictures on it. When people buy it they rip open the boxes and throw them on the ground. SOOO EVIL!!! What a waste!!! He says:

"Luckly, it is actually an illegal drug in everyother country in the world, so it won't be popping up anywhere else. BUt I do know that it is a huge problem that is holding the people of Taiwan back from the gospel. It's completely against the Word of Wisdom and leads people to breaking the Law of Chastity. Any ways, super lame thing that just goes to show that satan is working very hard to lead away the hearts of men. But luckly, the Lord is here working just as hard. The Lord can not fail. Whoo! Who's on the Lord's side, who? Well, I know that I am.Thank-you for the prayers and love from home, I'm going to keep working hard here. Keep up the good work at home.

I know that the Lord blesses every good effort and makes up every loss in the end. He is my Reedemer and my All. Trusting in him makes you invincible."
