We said goodbye to Sister Hu this morning and drove her to the airport.  It was a fun drive, but now me and sister Johnson are empty nesters and don't know what to do with our lives. Not go to Taipei as much that's for sure!

Last week we went to Taipei 4 times. ouch. that's a lot of time outside our area.  We went to pick up Sister Hu's visa, an English meeting, and then twice for exchanges.  It was great fun, but also really not super fun.  who wants to ride a bus for about an hour both ways when you can just ride your bike and talk to people.  Although we have honed our bus contacting skills I might mention.  Even if they've got headphones in :) yep, boss

It rained a LOT this week.

Note to self, when you pray for faith, diligence, charity, spirit to recognize opportunities, and anything else the Lord wants to teach you expect a hard week.  Praying for one is hard enough.  

But the Lord wanted to strengthen my testimony of trials of faith.  The miracles don't come until you wade through the hard stuff.  If you had the miracle right off the bat then you would be satisfied and done.  You have to go through all that rejection so it's all worth it when you find the one who's willing to listen.  

I've been reading in alma recently about Ammon.  I've really gained a testimony about how every mission is different.  Missions are so individual because they're from the Lord.  Ammon and his brethren.  His brothers like Aaron weren't bad missionaries or even worse than Ammon yet they didn't see as much success as Ammon, especially in the beginning.  They waded through affliction and suffered much.  Yet they were patient.  As we remember this life is a time to prepare, keep that perspective that this isn't the end, we're able to have more patience with the Lord and what life throws at us.  We all have to go through different challenges, we may not see as much success as others, but when we give our all to serve the Lord we will receive the same blessings as those who saw success.  The Lord will be proud of us :)

my week was hard, but it ended on a good note.  I've learned a lot about myself this last week.  The Lord is teaching me a lot about everything this last week.  There's not enough time to do anything.  It's just go go go! I've been having really weird dreams about leaving and not having my stuff in my suitcase or about giving a talk in General Conference.  crazy

stay awesome over there! remember the Lord is on your side, in your life, guiding you.  Trust Him. He will lead you in the path you need to go.

And don't forget to go to church Psalms 6:9-10...don't be lazy :)

Love you all!
