Exciting Things

Hello all! Well, this has been a pretty exciting week. Let me just list some exciting things.

1) I am officially a Facebook missionary! This means that I can use Facebook to do missionary work online. I will mostly be directing my posts to people in Taiwan and chatting with investigators here. I am not able to contact family and friends during the week and can only talk to immediate family members on P-day. I appreciate your support in following these guidelines!

2) We got to go to the temple twice this week and it was so neat! The first time was with a group of missionaries so we rode up to Taipei on a bus and went all together. It was really nice, especially nice to get a nap on the bus. I am constantly in need of a nap.

The second time we went was really awesome. Last year Sister King helped a cute girl get baptized, and this year she decided to go through the temple for herself, so we got to accompany her for her first time. It was so wonderful! It happened that Saturday was also our ward temple trip, so we took a 5am bus with our ward up to the temple, did a session with them, had lunch with Sister King's friend, then went back and did another session with the girl. Coolest part, other than the wonderful opportunity to be and learn in the temple, was that we got to do the session in Chinese! We had headphones with the English going but I totally learned some new Chinese words and it was seriously the neatest thing ever. Love the temple.

3) Ummm I know there were other exciting things this week but I forgot.

Basically still just doing the work! We have a few investigators who have a goal to be baptized on April 18th, which is pretty exciting. We are doing our best to find new people to teach. I am feeling pretty good about Chinese, which probably means there is a fall coming where I'll have a whole day where I can't understand anything. But that's okay.

The weather is off and on warm and cold. Food is still delicious. Recently we have been eating a lot of fried potsticker things called guo tie (ummm, gwo tyeh.) because they are cheap and fast and delicious. 

Basically it's just life as usual so, not sure what else to write about. Any questions or things you wish I would talk more about?

oh! Go watch this awesome video! http://www.mormon.org/easter It's pretty much the best thing ever. I'm so happy this week to be able to remember the Savior and His sacrifice for us. It really is because of Him that we have all of the wonderful things we have here on Earth. And because of Him we can become better people and overcome all of our challenges. I realized that I say that a lot to be people ("overcome our challenges" is a phrase I totally have down in Chinese) so sometimes I don't really think about what it means. But it's true! Christ can help us overcome all of the hard things we deal with. True facts.

Love you all!
