Hello, hello!
Well, I moved today, probably for the last time until I make the big move back to America. And guess where I moved to....down to the heat! haha. I moved to Gaoxiong which is in the southern part of Taiwan. Everyone kept telling me that it's really hot here, and they were right. I stepped off the train and the heat and humidity hit me like a brick wall. This is the first time I've ever been down south; my entire mission I've been in the north. So I'm pretty excited to finish out here! My new companion just finished being trained, her name is Sister Hickens. She is from Springville, Utah and she is super cute! I'm sure we are going to have a great time. From what it looks like, my area is just a big city again, no more rice fields. But that's ok because that means there will be people to teach! Yay! I feel like I don't have any teaching skills anymore because we haven't taught anyone in the longest time haha. I'm excited to get to work :)

My last week in Zhanghua was really great. I love Sister Peng a ton and I'm going to miss her. We had such a fun time together, despite the setback of not having investigators. We went to the temple on Wednesday which was just a dream come true because Sister Anderson and I have dreamed to go there at the same time since we were in the MTC. It was raining that day though so we didn't get a ton of pictures (sorry). Other than the temple trip the week was pretty much same old stuff. Tracting. Talking to people on the streets. Finding less-active members and trying to help them come back to church.

Happy news from Beitun though (where I was two areas ago). Wei JM, she is the one who was supposed to get baptized on Christmas, got baptized yesterday!!!! Oh man I was so happy :) I wasn't able to go because she got baptized right after church which ended right when mine did, but I saw Li JM on the train to Gaoxiong and she showed me pictures. It was a happy moment.
Um....I don't really know what else to say. Not too much has happened. I woke up with a cold yesterday, so I've been taking zicam so hopefully it won't get too bad. Other than that I think that's all. I took a bunch of pictures yesterday so I'll put them in the drop-box thingy. Also, you sent me a picture of a picture you posted on facebook and one of the people who commented on it is Xu JM the one who you asked about when we were skyping. She said she wants to come for Christmas. You should talk to her for me! Tell her I miss her a lot and to write me back! haha.
Ok, I hope you have a fantastic week! Pray that I don't melt. I hear it's only going to get hotter as we get more into summer haha. Oh boy. I hope I answered all your questions. I love you mom!!
