Yep so those rice fields I heard were in my new area? SURROUNDED by an abandoned metropolis. It's got some serious Twilight Zone vibes, for instance we were walking downtown because my bike still hadn't come and I'm pretty sure the same old man on a bike passed us four times on the same straight road. c r e e p y. That being said I'm kind of really loving the cleaner air and friendly people, it's been cool to see some new places too😊
Right now we cover Zhunan (竹南) and Toufen (頭份) area and what we're doing now is introducing ourselves to the members in these areas and prepping for a Halloween party. It's honestly been hard leaving my last area knowing that they'll be closed for 6 weeks but I'm grateful they have other missionaries that'll help them. It was also tough to leave our district and my comp, 顧姐妹，I love her! I learned so much from her and I was lucky to have her for a transfer, but I also know that she's got some good things for her waiting at home😊(我想你，顧媽媽! 尷尬的跳舞)
I've been thinking a lot about unity lately and this quote from Shanon Eubank hit me hard:
"..if you would have God have mercy on you, have mercy on one another.”
Even though we come from different places, have different paths and backgrounds, we can stand to be a little more merciful with everyone; ourselves included. This kind of thinking is the only real way to happiness. Love you all!
