P-day, we played laser tag as a district and were able to attend a
concert hosted by Jenny Oaks Baker and family. She is incredibly
talented, and it was a blessing to be able to hear her testimony of the
Savior expressed through her music. I also saw Doffy from Miaoli there!
It was wonderful to see an old friend.

Yummy food!
We had a
really cool lesson with Brother Fang last week. We shared the story of
the Anti-Nephi-Lehis burying their weapons of war and related it to him
(he can "bury" his weakness and never have to fight it again). He is fighting the
good fight. I know he can overcome any obstacle as he turns to the
Savior.
We had a rather comical moment with
Marshmallow. He's a character, but we love him for it. Most of the
time...no, we always do. He asked about the sheep in Jesus's arms that
appears on the cover of the message of the Restoration of the Gospel
pamphlet. He wanted to know what Jesus had to do with sheep, but didn't
give us a chance to answer. He just went on and on about how stubborn
and difficult sheep were to handle. "They run around without direction
and you have to go and bring them back again and again. Some sheep are
especially difficult. What then? What about those sheep? Huh?" It was
ironic as we tried to reel him back into the lesson, but it was fun :)
(The sheep represents each and everyone one of us).

Feast prepared by our beloved ward mission leader
My
companion needed to head to the restroom while we were finding at the
MRT. Previously, we would keep finding while waiting, but I realized
that wasn't the most obedient way to go about it. So, I waited outside
the restroom. It seemed a little counterproductive to stand over there
and not be able to contact people very well. However, God blesses us for
our obedience. A cool guy came up and self-contacted. He came up to me
with interest in hearing more and set up to meet at a later time.
Seaweed wraps! :D

We
got to help at a huge scouting event. We basically just gave them a
brief introduction to our church. We were in charge of teaching about
the Book of Mormon and got to have full-out rock-paper-scissor warfare
to demonstrate the destruction of the Nephites by the Lamanite people.
It was good fun.
Helping with a scout activity
Benjamin continues to amaze.
He's a blessing to work with and a good friend. It was also a miracle to
see my good friend Kenneth grow so much in testimony since I last saw
him. He attended FSY (like EFY in the states), and he came back enthused
to keep learning the gospel and build his faith. He's the man.
There
have been some challenges lately between some minor health concerns and
an anti-Mormon encounter, but we continue to see great miracles and
know the Lord is with us.
District training
meeting was really fun yesterday (we just may have provided free ice
cream for the district members...). The focus of the meeting was charity
and love. The Spirit was there, and all were inspired and uplifted. It
was fun too. We did some activities that came to me as I prepared for
the meeting, and it was a blast. It's great to serve the Lord.
got a cheap copy of Chinese Chess, but there's just no time to play...maybe P-day?
This
transfer has gone crazy fast. Transfers is next week. As always, we
have no idea what will happen, but whatever the case, it's been a
privilege and blessing to serve with Elder Chang these past few weeks.
He's a real friend.
All is well,
Elder Dickson
