SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENED THIS WEEK.

  Well, This week has been very eventful!! (OH and ps sorry for the past two weeks that i haven't sent an email out, just know that i was doing good haha (: )

ANYWAY! Let me tell you all a story, so on wednesday before English class all the missionaries in Hualian go to the night market to eat dinner before english class and that day was our english party too! so that was fun! haha, anyways, sister edwards and sister hibbert are going home... well at this time... they probably are home... weird!!!! but anywho... we were not sure who else was going to be leaving the area.... so when we all got together to eat food, the zone leader decided that he wanted to make it really dramatic so he pointed at each person and said "going" or "staying" so he went around... staying, staying, staying, staying, staying.... i was the last and he said "leaving!" and i was SHOCKED. huh? what? is this some sick joke? and he was like no its for reals.... and i was like let me see the paper. he gave it to me. and ya. it was for real. i was the only one moving. i seriously felt like crying. but i didn't. maybe i was still just shocked. so yup, i had that night and thursday left in Hualian. because friday morning i took the train up to Taibei with sister edwards and sister hibbert... i was seriously so sad. i don't want to leave beautiful hualian, i don't want to leave my momma! i love sister george! and i don't want to leave our awesome investigators! but, we made it and we had transfer meeting, I AM IN ZHU NAN now..... which is on the complete other side of TAIWAN. crazy. but im excited too! MY NEW COMPANION IS SISTER ANDERSON!!! she is actually sister jex's trainer, she is so great! (and actually that means... that i took the area over from sister jex because sister jex is now in taibei)

one thing that is nice is to move out of your birth area because people don't look at you like a new missionary anymore... they don't know about how bad your chinese was when you first got on island. so it really is nice. ive got a new start. (: and there have already been so many miracles here! I think that the people are nicer and more willing to talk to us here. it is really cool! we talk to everyone, and we found 2 new investigators yesterday!!! wow!! so cool, we love to go knock doors (: haha, i was telling sister george this one time that the best door is the wooden doors... because they have the best sound, you can just knock on them and its just. good. ha.

lets see...... one thing that was funny was that meeting this recent convert here, he said that I had a Hualian accent... haha so funny!!! that is cool (: We went out contacting the first night i was here... and we ran into these 3 drunk guys and we were just like come to church and come to english class, it was so funny they were like do you want some? and we were like, no really, haha actually kinda got to teach them a little bit about the word of wisdom, they were so loud, and they were just talking to us... and we were just like.... we should go haha, so they said that they would come... we will see i guess! haha, super funny, 

oh man, recently i have been having really weird dreams like i am going home from my mission! and im just like no i just got here! i never want to leave, i love being on a mission. yesterday.... i got to speak to everyone in church and introduce myself and bear my testimony. i shared Alma 26:37 with everyone. (: it says that God numbers his people, it doesn't matter where they are in the world. it doesn't matter. nothing matters. we are all children of God and he loves us all. I love sharing that with people. I know that God helps me. 

I have prayed more this week for comfort than I have ever before. And God has given me comfort. He knows me. He knows you. I can be cheerful in any place here in taiwan and I am so happy to be in my new area, Hualian will always have a special place in my heart, and so will my investigators, but this place is a miracle. amazing. 

Things are going good (: I am learning everyday!! chinese, and the gospel and having an amazing time doing it! The weather is finally cooling down a bit..... still humid tho (: haha, 

I love TAIWAN! I LOVE JESUS! He loves us so much too. Lets give him a chance to bless us. Here is the secret.... just keep the commandments.... (: pray everyday, read your scriptures, go to church, have family home evening, and go to the temple. I believe that is important to have a personal relationship with God. because He is our Father! (: so cool. (:

Keep being awesome, love you all (:
