Sister Walker in Taitung

I don't even know where to start.

hey, nihao.
umm, 
This week was good (: We had a mission tour with Elder and Sister Gong from the asia area presidency, i think............haha guess what?? More than half the world's population lives in the asia area! Wow.  so many people to share the gospel with!!

OK!!! breaking news!!! remember.... our golden investigator from about..... the middle of january. Sister Zheng, Cindy ... well. she came to church this past week in taibei!!! We have been trying to get a hold of her because during the chinese new year she went AWOL, kinda crazy. she missed her baptismal date and everything! So we decided to give her to the missionaries in taibei because she spends more time there.....And guess what? my mini misisonary emailed me this week and said that she had showed up in her ward in taibei!! wow!!! so exciting!! she is going to get baptized really soon! wow!

SISTER LAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, so cool! She is so great, and she is getting baptized on saturday!! So happyy!! She is the funniest little lady ever. One time i was trying to call the district leader to say that we were home on time, but i accidently called someone else, because it was a taiwanese woman on the other side... and i was like, oh sorry, called the wrong number. and she was just like, nope it is me. my last name is lai. haha! and i was like, oh hey. (: she is so cute, because we bring members to her house for the lessons and we ask her to introduce herself and she just says... oh, my last name is lai. and she is always so confused when we ask her to say more. haha!
Another small miracle was searching through and organizing our former investigator records.... we found Lai JieMei's record finally! It is so exciting to look at the old yellow record and see what the missionaries were teaching her, what her reactions were, 4 years ago! They wrote on the record under "former status" please call them, they need the gospel. As I sat there looking at our former investigators, I realized that all of them were souls, and that they all had the potential for baptism. That through formers we can find, teach and baptize! Then retain and reactivate. So cool. The area book is really a miracle book. It is filled with so many people and information that, has reason. We don't just write records to do it, they actually have meaning. It was just a cool small experience. It is the best that we can tape that record to her new one. No effort is wasted.
we wanted a picture with her after she passed her baptismal interview and she wouldn't smile! I was like, Lai JM, smile! and finally she did, sweet (: She is the best. I brought a skirt for her to wear at church today, she loved it, today we are going to look around for some members who might have some extra skirts to give her before her baptism! (:(:


So pretty much all we have been doing is visiting Lai JM, it takes about 25 minutes uphill to bike to her house... it use to take longer... but we are getting really fit (: haha

So there it is. so happy. (:

Updates:​ 

Next week i will be emailing on wednesday! Because we are going to the temple! wooh!!

We got a sweet 6.6 earthquake this week (: but its ok. i slept through it (: haha. we are just so tired every single night because. did you know? "jilong is known for its birds and its hills" (:(:-sister price (little shout out to you!) so we are biking up those hills. its not so bad back down. just the up. it is killer.
