AND WE WALKED

TO THE BEACH.

AND THAT WAS LAST PDAY.

THE DAY BEGAN WITH A FUEL UP OF MANGO SMOOTHIE.

AND THEN WE TOOK LOTS OF SELFIES ON THE WAY>

AND FINALLY WE MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(:(:(:(: wow. there is only one beach in jilong.... and we took the longest most painful way to get there.....

and that is why you do not trust tourist maps. just do the missionary way and ride your bike. please. the map said take the bus.... the bus doesn't go on monday.... the lady said take this other one and walk and we were already so frustrated we just did it. so we took the 30 minute bus ride..... and then we walked an hour..... and then we made it to the beach for approx 30 minutes... and then we got some chocolate toast and walked an hour back and took the 30 minute bus and then that was pday. 

and that is that. 

but we had fun and made memories and that is all that matters (:(:

We have been seeing some awesome miracles. and i have learned a very real principle that obedience and diligence and success and miracles and happiness and grace are all really connected. 

We are working for our Sister Chen and Sharon to get baptized this month(: It is so exciting. I just want to make sure that they are ready. And understand. But we also have to have faith and hope, that we all did our part and we just need to teach them how to rely on Christ. and having peace that we did right.

​I LOVE TAIWAN. I LOVE THESE PEOPLE>

It is also super crazy and oddly trunky when all the missionaries you know are leaving..... and president and sister day are leaving too..... we are getting a new mission president... and are going to have a lot of changes..... i am expecting at least. exciting to see!!! so happy that i have been in jilong for this long (:(:

haha, there was  a point when i really thought that jilong was the land of my affliction... and my child born in the wilderness (that is you sister tate) and i prayed that i would get one more. one more transfer. my wish has come true and I LOVE JILONG AND THESE PEOPLE> I LOVE BEING ON  A MISSION>I WOULD NEVER EVER TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE> not even for watching movies... or listening to music... or going shopping when i want to... or sleeping, or being with my family and my friends and going to school or going on vacation. 

BECAUSE i read this scripture in the scriptures... somewhere. that i just remembered that is really good. it goes something like this...... that treasure up for yourself treasures in heaven... and death is the portal to your mansion...to all that you have prepared... and it isn't things. it is souls. and when we are in heaven all we are going to care about is who is with us and who isn't. and it will be the happiest day when we are all in the celestial kingdom together. and i get 6 more months to help JESUS SAVE SOULS>

also. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(:(: keep on being amazing. i am so grateful for all of my friends and family. and we will be together soon, but until then..................

加油!!!! (add some oil and keep working)
