I LOVE MY NEW AREA!!

I LOVE MY NEW AREA!! Also, I LOVE THAT I'M WITH SISTER ANDERSON!! She was here for one move call before I got here, but this past week was pretty xinku (rough? i don't know how to translate that). This week was a holiday, zhong qiu jie, moon festival! Which meant that no one wanted to meet with us because they were all out doing bbq and what not. We did get invited by some AMAZING investigators to kao rou (bbq) with them. It was delicious. And every night for the past 4 or so days we have had really great seats (from our apartment) to see some cool fireworks, but other than that there was just a lot of people standing us up and a lot of back up to the back up to the back up plans. BUT, Sister Anderson and I sat down and set some goals and made some awesome plans to really improve this area and see some miracles this move call! It's so fun to be with someone who is willing to be motivated and do whatever it takes to build up the kingdom!!


As for my bike and stuff, there are some moving people that we call and they pick it up from my old house and drive it over here. I was without it for a day, but it was pretty quick :) 

As for everything else, I keep learning over and over again that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. That He has a plan for every single one of us. The other day we were looking at our schedule and Sister Anderson had scheduled with a girl she hadn't met yet named Nancy, Wang JM. Turns out its the Same Wang JM that I have been meeting with in Donghai! She works in Donghai during the week and lives in Nantou on the weekend. I called her and needless to say we were both really excited because we thought we had said goodbye for forever. We're meeting with her this weekend. I just don't call that a coincidence. Also, I feel like me and Sister Anderson being together again is for a certain purpose. It's such a rare thing to happen, so we are going to work harder than we ever had to find the people we are sent here to find.



Um...what else. I feel like I went from a really big city to a small town. It's still pretty big, but I can really tell a difference. In Taichung when we stopped at stoplights there were tons of people, here we are lucky to have one or two. I like it though, I'm more of a small town person anyway. Anyway, I can't really think of anything else...thank you for your "gift of tongues" prayers. Can you add on "confidence" to those? My Chinese isn't amazing, but I can speak. I just need to believe in myself. Also, I had a dream in Chinese the other night. I remember you told me to tell you when that happened haha. It did. It was weird. 

The view from my back window. Yeah, be jealous

I think that's all. I love you SO MUCH! Oh! How could I have forgotten, THANK YOU!! I got your package the day after my birthday and I LOVED IT!! The clothes are so so cute and they are comfortable too! Also very needed. So thank you! And the candy is delicious. Unfortunately I have promised not to eat candy so I won't be able to eat it til next move call haha but it will still be good next move call. So thank you thank you thank you. I hope you have a GREAT week mom! Tell everyone I say hello! LOVE YOU!
