OK 30 SECONDS. GO!

Sorry everybody. its gonna be a short one.
1. ok mcdonalds is not the same in all places. definitely better here because they have passion fruit and oreo mcflurries. and shrimp pineapple burgers that are delicious.
2. my district is better than your district. but we are losing two elders this week! what??? see picture for explanation.
3. SO MANY YOUZI. (aka pomello)
4. COME UNTO CHRIST MORONI 10:32
5. We got to do a sweet service project. it was great. and i was sweaty. and gross. but thats ok (: clean up the world!
6. i have made it through one whole transfer, what??!!??!
7. english party= lord of the rings it was sweet. the elders were so into it. it turned out great. even though taiwanese people are not as into lord of the rings as these nerdy elders. haha
8. while we were passing out english flyers, these guys were like hey we want one and then they offered us cigarrettes, and we were just like take the flyer jiu hao le (just good enough) haha (: and we just hope they come to english and then we can start teaching them about how smoking is bad (:
9. Direct quote from sister george "ugghhh you don't just leave the Book of Mormon! Its like your parents made this awesome gift that was personal and loving and beyond comprehensionally cool for you and you went to college and you left it on your bed. That is how Heavenly Father feels when you don't take the Book of Mormon to college too."
10. Some miracles and trials (ps this is a copy of the email to the president):First, I am so excited and happy and blessed that I get to serve in Hualian. It is such an amazing place.i am so blessed because hualian is the holy land (: haha, they call it "the promised land" haha ji an.... and our district song is come to zion come to zion.... in chinese it is funny because zion sounds like "ji an" in chinese (: haha it is sooo beautiful here. the beautifullest.  I am just overwhelmed at the thought that I get to be "born" here. Especially serving in Ji An. It is amazing. Ok, The miracles that we have seen this week! Well, we got 10 RCLAS! wow. But we are really going to start shifting our focus this next week to finding, because while that was really good. We only got 1 new investigator... not so good. We are trying to make sure that we work smart, and not just hard. Priorities. We need people to come to church! People progress so much faster when they come to church. I just don't know what else we can do! In our lessons we invite, we promise blessings, we tell them of the importance... then on saturday we call and invite/ remind, if they need a morning call the next morning we are happy to do it. These past two weeks we haven't had any investigators at church. I also don't even know if our visits to the LA's are even working. They tell us that they will come, but in the end they don't show up. It is just more comfortable to stay at home and our investigators don't understand the importance. We need the C in CPR! Besides not coming to church, I will have to say that we have a few awesome progressing investigators! That are just a joy to meet with. I loved meeting with the Jiang JM that we found the other day, got to share a lesson #1 with her. It was so cool because with a member there, it went smoother, it helped her see personal application, and overall it was just better. This was just a continuing testimony to me of the importance of peikes. So glad that I was there to witness that. Other challenges this week were not very big, just small things, this week went by very fast! Some goals that Sister George and I have is working on our expanded CPR. We did it the other day in companionship study and it was great, each day during plan we are going to check ourselves against the expanded CPR to broaden our perspective. Especially as it comes to finding. We need to spend more time finding this week. That is what we are going to do, we need to reach our goal of 18 new investigators this month! This week we need to try much harder! Some successes for the week were teaching with unity! Yay! I am excited about that, also we got  a ton of referrals this week which is sooo exciting! There is a better way to do missionary work! Through the members! ( i hope that made sense)
11.  we had another lesson with our golden lady who is doing so great! this time we had a member present and it really made all the difference, we got to have a lesson #1 with her and really help her understand what this is all about, i am just excited for this week when we get to have our lesson #2 with her about the plan of salvation!!!! she brought her cute kids to the lesson too, two little girls and they are so adorable! oh man, i love taiwanese (:(:

I love working with Sister George and at the close of this first transfer, I know that it was God's will that we were together. We are learning so much, having fun and working hard! Here is to one more, it is just sad that it only is one more... We will make the most out of it. 
I am so continually excited and grateful for this opportunity to serve. I love it here in Taiwan!
Love you all so much!!! (:
