ONLY Monday, Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon, Thursday morning, Friday night, Sunday in NANKAN

OK. so let me tell you what. 2 exchanges, stake conference and temple tours. That is what.

But miracles were seen!!

This week was absolutely busy! Really good though, we are working with our investigators the Ding family! They are doing really well. Sister Ding and her daughter are on track to be baptized on 12/6, we have seen a lot of miracles and their faith is growing everyday! We are working with Brother Ding who is so excited for them to be baptized, but is not quite ready to make the commitment himself. He knows it will be really hard. We shared with them about eternal families and the temple..... Well, when i was on exchanges Sister Cardon and Sister Guo did, and I hear that he really wants to go into the temple. He is just cutting himself short saying that he wont be able to make the qualifications. We visited them on Sunday... yesterday...We kind of played good cop bad cop.... not on purpose... just sort of turned out that way. haha sister cardon telling him that he was prideful and needed more faith and i was just like, lets read a scripture about God's love for us. (: haha, i think the biggest struggle for him right now is overcoming alcohol...... we taught him the word of wisdom and he quit for 2 days.... then he went right back. he is really smart.... he studies really deep buddhist scripture, confucious and laozi..... but he thinks that the book of mormon is the hardest of them all. (: I know that Sister Ding is such a good example, she is praying for him everyday! (: So are we!

Sister Ding (daughter) (her name is Ding Ling) totally sacrificed to go to the church in Shilin..... because she had an activity in taipei, so awesome! she is preparing for her date! She is so excited! ALSO, apparently on exchanges.... they were talking with Sister Ding (mom) about the word of wisdom, and she said that some of Ding Ling's friends were over and hanging out and something about drinking, Ding Ling didn't, and they are doing so good despite getting teased, etc. about keeping to the faith. They know this church is true.(:

On Sunday we got to go over with Sister Ding (mom) and Small Sister Ding (five year old Xuanyi) and cooked with them, because we were talking about the sabbath day and how we don't go out to eat or spend money. It was so fun!! They thought that was pretty cool, and it was just a good time together (:

Update on the Qiu Family.... the member that originally introduced them to the church is going to bring Andy and Fei Fei to church on Sunday!!! yay!!! they are still not answering our phone calls, but we are leaving cards, and texting!

About exchanges:

So, we went on two exchanges this week! That is why this week feels so short/so long. I was able to have an amazing time with Sister Harvey, she is a really great missionary, she has learned so much from her previous companions and area. I encouraged her to make sure that she continues to use the things that she has learned! I know that she and sister ioane will see so many miracles! While with Sister Harvey we were able to see so many things that God had placed in our path specifically. It is cool to see that when we are guided by the spirit we can have confidence in the things that we are doing and know that everything is according to God's will.

I was also able to go on exchange with Sister Kunzler! It was so amazing! She is such a bold, powerful missionary. I felt the spirit so often when we were together. Also I really enjoyed our companion study together. We are the watchmen! We are called to declare it to everyone. And we must! or we will be condemned. We just need to do our part and open our mouths. God is in control.

Stake Conference was soooo good! we went to sit up with Sister Jergensen on the stand to translate for her.... awkward... they already had people doing that.... so we just sat there on the stand..... for the entire saturday night session. President Jergensen called us his "reverent children" (: missionaries.... (:


Nankan is so amazing, there are so many prepared people here. I am so happy. I love being with Sister Cardon, we are seeing so many miracles each day and getting along well together. I hope that I can continue to endure to the end. I feel happy and excited. I know that I will!!!

LOVE EVERYONE!!!! KEEP ON KEEPING (:(:(:

SISTER WALKER

ALSO. I SAW MY TRAINER!!!!!!! SISTER GEORGE IS BACK IN TAIWAN!!!! WOWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER (: we weren't orginally scheduled to do temple tours that day... but then they were changed..... I think Heavenly Father knew I needed to see Sister George.... because I think I would have died if she came all the way to taiwan... and I didn't even get to see her!

FAMILY HOME EVENING!!!! (:(: I love these people (: just a few singles/families from the ward

SO YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL IN TAIWAN. because if you tell someone that you like something... or say that wow, i think that your shoes are really cute..... or anything... they will just give it to you. what a rookie mistake.... i have been pretty good my whole mission. major slip up here. HAHA SISTER DING gave me these sweet shoes (: i really do love them. (: haha and this sweet tupperware!!! so happy. yet i feel so bad. (: 

also PS sister tate and sister sylvester are in zhunan... guess who they are meeting with? Brother Cai, Boots! I hope he gets baptized (:(:
