YES!!! wow...this is so much different from just emailing
you...because I know you're on another computer right NOW talking to
me....wow I miss you guys! Christmas is going to be hard.... I started
singing christmas music this week but stopped because it reminded me of
home too much :)
I'm
dreaming of a white christmas..... well, you know how I was talking
about how hot it is here? well, Wednesday to Friday took a 180 degree
turn and was FREEZING!!!!! BRRRR!!! but it's pretty nice today so I
think I'll survive :)
One miracle this week was on Wednesday.
We had an hour left and weren't exactly sure where to go. We prayed
about it and felt like going to binglang lu. After the prayer and a
quiet moment to thing Sis. Chu says, "We'll find a nanshang (young man
if you can't understand my bad spelling of chinese) er shi sui" I was a
little taken aback, but didn't want to be the weak link so I just prayed
in my heart for enough faith to find him. Literally as soon as we got
on binglang lu we saw this guy walking alone in the dark up the slope.
So naturally we stopped to talk to him. He's in Taidong for three weeks
and then will move to Hualian. He told us a little about his life and
we talked to him about the gospel. We then invited him to pray and he
gave one of the most personable first prayers I've ever heard; very
grateful for sending us to him and such. crazy things happen
so
transfers were this week and not a whole lot of people transfered.
Everybody in Taidong stayed except one sister that was going home. So
I'm still in Taidong, but there is a slight chance there could be a mid
transfer transfer thingy because that's when all of my generation are
finishing training, so to be continued...
This
week during zone meeting President Day's goal is for us to have a
'white' christmas which means two baptisms per companionship. They told
us to ask for miracles. So that's what we did. We found a LOT of
miracles this week, we were on a spiritual high. Then sunday hit and we
had NO INVESTIGATORS at church...not even our baptized investigator came
to get confirmed...again....it was pretty rough. This means we have
nobody for December. But no need to fear because all we need is faith
and hard work...and some formers or others who have been to church at
least once before. The Lord will provide a way for us to accomplish the
things he has asked us to do.
Something I've learned this week is power through the rough times.
Sometimes we don't see the miracles in our lives, but they're there. We
just have to look.
Do you know how to get rid of stinky on a watch band? I sweat and it's making my watch stink but I don't
know how to clean it because it's leather. Any ideas?

I'm being ripped in two. I love
missionary work and doing the Lords work and Taiwan, but I miss home and
you guys so bad it hurts. Especially now during the Christmas season.
I have two parts of my heart that don't fit together. I just have to
power through because I only have around a year left and then it's over. Then I start my life again. This is the Lord's time, but it's SOOO
hard to devote all this time to Him. It's hard to focus, but I'm
learning! It'll slowwwwly get better, then I'll be going home. It'll
be over before I know it :) :(
. I Love you so
much. I don't know what I would do if you didn't email me every week.
You and mom are that constant ever present love. I don't know what I
would do without it. I love hearing about the good and bad things of
your life, because it means you're still human and still there and
telling me things. Have an amazing week!!!
I know I'm where
I'm supposed to be. I know the Lord is watching and protecting you
while I'm here. I know He loves us and this is the best place for me to
be right now. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!
That's about it for this week! Love you all and have an amazing week! STAY WARM!
