Chapter 15: So Many Miracles!

Nihao!

This week we saw so many miracles. We were able to get one of our investigator, Melody's, dad to sign the permission slip to allow her to be baptized! It's such a miracle. Her mom (Xiao Jie Mei) has been a member for seven years and we believe it is through the power of God and her example that he is allowing her to get baptized. We started teaching Melody when I first got on island, and her dad said she could take the lessons, but not come to church. So we taught her and would just pray that her dad would allow her to come to church. Then one day Xiao Jie Mei said that she asked her husband if he would allow Melody to come to church, and he said yes! It's just been so great since then, and I am so excited for Melody to get baptized! It's so special because Xiao Jie Mei is just so excited that her daughter can get baptized. She has been so patient for these years and I just can't imagine how happy she is right now. I am also so excited for Melody to take this step to get baptized! September 16th is going to be a special day for the SongShan ward, because we have 4 people getting baptized into the ward! We have two investigators, Melody and Zhang Hui Wen, and the Elders have two investigators, a mom and a daughter. I am so excited for the 16th! 

Guys, missionary work is literally the best. There is nothing better. Even though it has rained for the last three days, the Lord blesses us in more ways than I can even say. I love being in Taiwan, there is nothing else I'd rather be doing!!

Love you all!!

Love,
Sister Larson

Our district went to Jiu Fen last p-day! It's just an old street on the north part of the island. Very sorry, these pictures are so bad, but whatever. It was jiu much fen. Also if you have ever seen the movie Spirited Away it's based on this street? I've never seen it, but that's what people have told me.




I saw the ocean from Jiu Fen! Sometimes I forget I am on an island. Taiwan is so beautiful!




Last night it "xia dayu"d (wow that pinyin is so bad, so sorry). Which basically means it rained really hard. You can't tell, but Sister Kwan and I are soaking wet, and we were only biking for like 7ish minutes. Woohoo! Mission life is actually literally the best.

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

Chapters 66 and 67: When the going gets tough, the tough get going AND I become famous X3

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...
