Chapter 22: New Beginnings

Nihao!!!!

Hello! This week was a great week full of new beginnings! The first thing is I got a new companion! She is Sister Christensen, and this is her 5th transfer on island, and I am on my 3rd. So we are both pretty young missionaries, but we will work super hard to keep SongShan bumping! 
Another thing that happened this week is that LIANG JIEMEI GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!! It was so wonderful. She is just the most funny, amazing, fantastic person in the world, and I love her with all my heart. I am so glad she was able to get baptized and follow Jesus Christ!!! 
I am so grateful for this gospel and all the blessings I get from being a missionary. Just when I think it is too hard, the Lord blesses me so much with SO MUCH HAPPINESS. Honestly this week has been kind of crazy for me. I now have to lead the area for my new companion, and it's harder than training haha. But seriously I have felt more genuine happiness this week than I have my whole mission. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL. I am so thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice. I know that it is only through Him and the power of God that I can do what I am doing here in Taiwan. I love missionary work so much!!! I love this gospel!!!
Love you all, have a wonderful week!!!!
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...
