2014

Well Everyone 2014 is here and I HAVE A NEW COMPANION! How crazy is that! Came out of no where I was sure Sister Gruwell and I would be together for at least 2 transfers but the Lord is way more wise than me. So now I am so blessed to be with Sister O'Brien who has been here for over a year and will be going home in march. I am so privledged to be here with her Oh I didnt move by the way still in YiLan! (So happy!!!) So yep this week was really such an amazing week and I am really grateful to know that the Lord is watching out for us all and knows whats best for us. Go look up the Mormon message from Todd Christofferson about a current bush. I really have a testimony that God is out Heavenly Father and He knows His children. Sister O'Brien is already teaching me so much its like I am in training all over again but this is good I am excited to see how she does this work. She is amazing and has been in the Leadership counsel here as a sister Training leader for half a year.

Other fun and exciting things to tell you all... I cant think of any. mmmm..... I am still alive??? I feel healthy and strong My calves are HUGE from biking everywhere its kinda nasty... but its alright It will make dancing easier when I get back. OH I know! It seems like the winter season is wrapping up here haha all you unlucky people in the states! NO SNOW HERE and its warming up! Sister O'Brien and I will probably go up to jiao xi and hike up in the mountains sense she came from months and months in the central city of Taipei so hasnt seen green in over a year dont worry we'll change that and get her up in the gorgeous mountains surrounding us here in YiLan!

OH!!! I think that we will ACTUALLY have a baptism soon!!! Her name is You2 Yi1 Hua4 or Coco... yes Chinese English names are the cutest things ever. But she is so amazing. She is 55 and loves Heavenly Father so much I am so excited to see her progress and hopefully enter into the waters of baptism this month! It will be so great to see her baptized I love her so much! Oh also a quick shout out thank you to whoever helped in getting me that Christmas package with the mp3 player it is really nice to have music so thank you. Yes that is my advice to any future missionaries TAKE MUSIC YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DONT I PROMISE!!! that and also get good at asking people where they are going... awkward I know but true. Okay well other than that I am pretty much drawin up blank on what to say but know I love you all and I hope you are all doing well!!!

Check out what I learned to do this morning-
