Chapter 39: 恭喜發財 (Gong xi fa cai)



(Gong xi fa cai is a Chinese New Year greeting.  It basically means "hope you get rich this year")

Hello!

Wow this week was so great!! It was Chinese New Year and so it has been a little bit different haha. Everyone is on vacation and busy so no one wants to meet with us, but the good news is that members have been feeding us lunch and dinner everyday since last Tuesday! So this week we have mostly just been chilling with members. We have also been asked to super deep clean our apartment, so when we are not with members or having a lesson (we were lucky enough to get a few), we are at home cleaning! It's actually been super fun. Our apartment smells like bleach though because there is mold EVERYWHERE. So much mold. We bought a dehumidifier for our apartment. I didn't even know they made those #igrewupinidaho BUT now there is less mold and my clothes and towels actually get all the way dry now so #blessup #dehumidifiersforlife
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! 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...
