WELL!!

i am staying safe, and well just an update for you..... last monday... we had pday and then we met with an awesome LA and an awesome RC and on the way back home it was all wet and rainy.... i told sister price that we should take the shorter way along the harbor....that way we could get home the fastest and most direct way. i thought it would be better than going through all the traffic. i was following sister price and we were coming off this small bridge and she went to turn left.... and her bike just slipped straight out from under her sideways because the ground was all wet. i remember looking at her and thinking, wow. she is taking that corner really fast! and then she fell and apparently... i set my bike down and parked it... took off my helmet, picked sister price's bike up and she was screaming. we looked down at her leg and it was broken. and yes. it was really apparent. she got really pale and i was just freaking out on the inside but i stayed really calm, i just held her head and put it down....  she was just saying call the elders... and so i called them. thank goodness they were really close and they rode over really fast.... i just asked someone who was standing near by to call the ambulance. they did, and you could hear it coming because the hospital was really close thank goodness (: and thank goodness, the elders were able to help her into the ambulance and i just held her hand the whole night, the poor thing, thank goodness sister day and president day were in taibei and that is really close, they were able to come down and help figure everything else out, it was a long few days in the hospital.... and on friday she got out of the hospital which was a miracle!!!!! and we have been staying at the mission home, and i feel so guilty. i feel like we died and went to heaven. we are sleeping on these beds of clouds. and we made banana bread and they made us macaroni and cheese and we watched meet the mormons! all i can say is that we were at the lowest of lows and we have come to complete luxury. i don't know what to do. everything is so up in the air right now, but they are trying to buy tickets for her to go back home to kansas on wednesday. wow. 

what happened is that her tibia and fibula are broken... in 4 places or something like that, so she has 3 plates and 2 screws 

i don't know why these things happen. i don't know why i was sister price's companion, i don't know why it was her and not me, or why it happened at all.

the thing i do know is that the members are great in jilong and took such good care of us, bringing us food in the hospital because the hospital doesn't provide meals, and while the hospital looked a little dirty and maybe they didn't give her the most powerful pain killers, and maybe the nurses didn't have enough time to spend with her, because of all their other patients.... one perk is that the bill was millions of times less than it would have been in america even without insurance here. 

moral of the story we are both doing so much better. just know that i know that God answers prayers and He loves us. In our darkest moments we will be lifted up. and everything is worth it and GOD HAS A PLAN.

" we have the faith to be healed, but we don't get to choose how"

love you so much. something funny to lighten this email up!

some of the first words out of sister price's mouth while she was laying on the ground with her broken leg.....

"thank goodness I shaved today"

"you need to take a picture of me!"

"oh no, i am going to get fat!"

There have been so many miracles that i have seen out of this. and we have had so many angels come to our rescue.

while i do not know what is going to happen, i am going forward with faith and happiness. I know that God has blessed me with a sense of calmness in the midst of all of this. i was still smiling through it all. Everyone always asked how I am/was doing and all I could do was smile because we were making it through.

LOVE YOU ALL.

KEEP SMILING. YOU WILL GET OUT OF THE LOW MOMENTS, and God has shown me that again, and again and again. DO NOT DOUBT HIM. It is all in His hands.

Love, SISTER WALKER
