Chapter 9: One Day More

Nihao family!
First off, I just want to say that although my time at the MTC has been long, it's been pretty fun. BUT all good things must come to an end, and I think I have out-stayed the MTC. You know I've been here too long when:
  • I have eaten the same cafeteria food 6 times
  • All the cafeteria food tastes the same
  • I eat cereal for at least 2 meals a day
  • I laugh at the stupidest things my district does because we are all crazy
  • They have gone through all the Sunday night devotional speakers so they bring in the same ones we had our first week here.

But other than that, the MTC has been so good to me. My relationship with the Savior has deepened and my testimony has grown immensely. I am incredibly excited to leave the MTC and go preach the gospel to the people of Taiwan. It's literally tomorrow and I am just ecstatic. 

I wish I had other, more exciting things to say, but I really don't. All I have is that if I didn't know this gospel was true, there is no way I would be leaving to go live in a hot, humid, bug-filled island for 16 months trying to tell people it was. It is true, though, and I am incredibly blessed and grateful to have the opportunity to tell people that Jesus Christ lives and that His gospel is on the Earth today. And that through that gospel, they can feel the true joy it brings and feel the love of Jesus Christ. 

I love you all!

Love,
Sister Larson

Chapters 78 and 79: Happy Thanksgiving (again) AND Taidong Takes Taipei

Hello! Happy Thanksgiving! This week was so great! We had so much fun this week, ahh it was just so so awesome! This week, we spent a little time preparing a play about the background of Thanksgiving for our ward party on Saturday. Let's just say, it was the funniest thing ever and I would send it to y'all except for the fact that it's in Chinese and most of you wouldn't understand it. But it was actually hilarious and honestly one of the most funny things I've ever participated in. The ward LOVED it and they quoted it all the time at church the next day hahaha. We also got to participate in a super sick aboriginal dance with members of the Beinan tribe. It was sooooo sick and some of the Elders in our district got to wear traditional Taiwanese clothing to dance in. haha I was a little jealous, but it's fine I'm over it.  We had a great thanksgiving too! A member in our ward made us a thanksgiving dinner very similar to what we get in America and it ...

"You can count on me" hahahaha 大家好 This week was great! We went caroling at Carrefour like last year and it was so much fun.  I don't really know what to say for this week. I just cant believe it's over! Crazy. My mission has been great, it's been hard, its been happy, its been sad. But most importantly, it's been the most amazing experience of my life. I'm so grateful I could dedicate my life to Jesus Christ for the last 19 months. This gospel is true!  I'll see you all soon! Love, Sister Larson

Happy September!!  Lol I'm so dead I can't believe it's already September. I think I say that every month. Haha. This week was definitely one of those growing weeks as a missionary. Our friends have like literally all disappeared or texted us saying they don't want to meet with us anymore. Like. Literally all of them. Except for this one really cute family (they are really cool). It's been pretty hard for me and Sister Cajilig because we've been working so hard and having great, spiritual lessons, but then these people just disappear. All at the same time. It's been of one of those "Do I falter or do I finish?" kind of weeks. And we decided to finish! So we are going to go ham this week on the street contacting and finding, it's going to be great! In other news, we've recently been working with this really old man in our ward named Brother Chen. He's 94 and was baptized probs over 50 years ago and has been inactive ever since. We...
