I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK, BUT IT ENDED WELL (:

I am doing pretty ok (: haha! i actually have a short term missionary with me right now... just a member from another ward who volunteered for a mini mission for a week, she is so sweet! her name is sister li and she is from shilin..... which is actually close by, she actually went to high school in jilong... right now she is 20 just like me and going to school to be a civil engineer! she is so smart! wow! haha, we got together on friday and will be together until this friday... it has been good to be back! wow, you kinda get out of practice... haha, out of missionary work, but i think my chinese is improving! she is my first taiwanese companion, which is super exciting! haha, 

WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY MIRACLES THO>>>

but, first i want to let you know the sequence of events...... so the MONDAY sister price was in her accident, we went to the hospital, then the next morning, TUESDAY she had surgery, WEDNESDAY the temple sisters from taibei came to stay with us, so i could go back to the house and shower and grab some other stuff for sister price, THURSDAY i got to go to taibei while some other sisters from a near by area were sister price's companions.... and i got to attend the zone special training conference FRIDAY just hung out with sister price... and did some splits so i could go pack her stuff at home... then that night sister and president day came and took us to the mission home in taibei....SATURDAY just hung out, we made banana bread and chilled.... weird.... we studied.... and ya.... SUNDAY we got to go to the english ward in taibei.... cool! then came home and chilled out.... then we got to watch meet the mormons! such a good movie! i loved it!!! (special privileges)MONDAY we had "pday" which means we emailed and people came and visited us haha, TUESDAY just kept recovering....and basically went through all of sister price's stuff to get her luggage under weight and pack it all nice and good WEDNESDAY woke up, got all ready and went to the airport...... we had to drive for a little bit, so sister price was just trying to tell me everything about jilong.... and ya, just trying to keep her mind busy... we get to the airport and get everything checked in and luggage all taken care of and a person comes to help her through security.... she is in a wheelchair to make it easier.... and i give her one last hug, and she starts crying, i am just trying to be positive, and well, say goodbye..... then she goes and i turn around, and i burst into tears. :( oh man, that was so hard. :( i just didn't know what was going to happen to me... i am suppose to have a companion... i can't and don't want to do this without her...... :( but then sister day just gives me a hug and we go get some food at the food court... and head back to taibei..... sister day was my companion that day... and we got to teach english class together in jilong.... THURSDAY i just was the temple sisters, third companion.... and i got to attend this other all day meeting. then!!!! something really special happened, that night i got to go back to jilong with 2 sisters that had served there before... sister knight and sister miller, and it was so great (: wow, that was a cool day. i wish i could tell you everything! but we met a cool new investigator.... but haha, later found out that the number he wrote down wasn't his...... maybe he wrote it wrong... or maybe that was on purpose... but ya. ha, we got to meet with a recent convert and ya, that went really good. FRIDAY went back to taibei in the morning... for another day of meetings, but the assistants said that i was going to get a mini missionary... but she was sick... so she didn't come till like 4 and then we went back to jilong!!!! had some really cool miracles there too (:(: just getting to meet with our investigators and do some good finding.... SATURDAY, got to do a little planning, because it has been soooooo long!!!! crazy. then after we got to meet with investigators.... and find and amazingly it all worked out. SUNDAY, church and the elders had a baptism! so that was cool, our investigator Sister Zheng came (: she is so awesome, we got to meet a really cool new investigator Sister Cao!!! she is so cute, in high school.... and we gave her a BOM.... sweet. OVERALL, even though we only had like 2 and a half days together we really effectively used our time and i know that it was all because of God's help. really special (:

at first, i would have to say my feelings, we just overwhelmed, like i can't do this and all sorts of bad feelings.... i knew that those weren't from heavenly father... and i know that all i had to do was stay positive and try my best. but i just couldn't help but feel conflicted and sad. i just remember one night, just crying and being so sad, i was just praying, like i don't know how to feel. i don't know what to do. and through the process of praying, i was able to calm down and trust Heavenly Father enough to fall asleep.... the next day i got a chance to talk with sister knight about why i loved prayer as a part of the training we had and then she shared with me. i really loved what she said and it really came as an answer to my own prayer.... or just a way to put what happened the night before into words, she said something to the effect of "i love prayer because you get to do the thinking about the day with God, its not just like you are praying..... just one person.... you are together. and it is almost like He is just saying, its ok, because i see it all. and you just have this little perspective." wow.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!(:
