我的中文在哪裡

 WHAT THE

This week went by faster than the people who run away from me when they hear my Chinese😆

wa where do I start? This week was crazy but so good! Remember our friend 婉欣? She set a baptismal date for December 5th! She's been so good to meet with and she's honestly just the best😊

Other things that happened this week:
My comp got hit by a car! She's okay! Just a few scrapes, but her bike got wrecked. We had to call a taxi though and fit her bike in this kind of little car which was an adventure. Then, we got it fixed and had to walk it a few miles back home because apparently its 不行 to throw a bike in a taxi without a massive fee EEP

In other news we went on exchanges our STLs, and then with our mission president! He visited every single set of missionaries (rode his own bike!) this transfer and it was way cool. Learned a TON and he helped teach our friend and blessed the home of a sweet family.

Our prophet President Nelson invited us this week in an amazing video (let me know if you wanna check it out) to combat our trials with a heart full of gratitude. He shared about his own life and HOLY COW. This is what the world needs right now. I've been changing my mindset (focusing on what I'm grateful for when I feel sad) because of this and it honestly has made a world of difference. 

I honestly think that this could be the secret to happiness,  acknowledging that life isn't perfect, but being just so grateful for it.

Love you lots!

I just flicked a cockroach off my leg

 ehh yucky


On with the week: 
wa MIRACLE WEEK! Remember that sweet girl we're teaching? She is the BEST! She is such an awesome person and she is making serious progress, came to church this week WOO

Next we've been meeting with a woman and her daughter and it's been super cool to see where she's coming from. A few people come to us and holy cow, they are so ready. They are the ones to start talking to us about certain things, for instance the importance of family or how much Heavenly Father really loves us. Just recently a woman talked with us about how in our lives we need to address what we've done wrong in the past and strive every day to improve! This is EXACTLY what we're teaching out here!

I know that God has prepared His children here and all over the world to hear this message. This message isn't just a belief, it's a change in our lifestyle that guides us to know how we can make ourselves better and find comfort when we need it.

I'm super grateful for this chance I have (also ps I have 7.5 months left, what the), its NOT easy but I'm learning that the hard things are worth it... sometimes haha

ALSO we went for the coolest hike on pday, got chased by DOGS, and ate wicked street 蛋餅 (egg pancakes) wah this life

stay safe BBs!

有吃更多的抓餅

 ALRIGHTY on to the week~

 
This Saturday we had a rocking Halloween party that was a great chance to meet with some people in the community! Super cute families showed up and they were so fun to talk to. WOOWOO

Our district council this week was in Miaoli which is a WICKED pretty place and super countryside, pretty sure there were a few tears of joy when I saw all the green haha OH ALSO I forgot to mention its MAD windy down here! When we're riding our bikes we pretty much are inching on the side of the road and it's actually a pretty funny sight😆 The dust is blowing in our eyes and it is a little bit of a safety hazard but it's an adventure and shows other people just how important this message is that we're willing to zigzag our through a dust storm in DRESSES to deliver it.

This week we had exchanges and they were way fun! Learned a lot and it was nice to find our way around Xinzhu😊As for the people, we're continuing to teach our friends and they're doing great -to be honest, they're just awesome people- but it's just way nice to be able to learn with them😊

To end, here's a quote that I loved from Elder Uchdorf in GC that everyone needs to hear especially in this Covid time:
"We will endure this, yes. But we will do more than simply grit our teeth, hold on, and wait for things to return to the old normal. We will move forward, and we will be better as a result."
SO TRUE
Love you lots, stay safe❤
