Chapter 63: Sisters, Sisters

大家好！
This week was another awesome week!!
Two highlights of the week: Marcel, and Zone Conference!
First, Marcel. She set a baptismal date! We taught her the Plan of Salvation and told her that she needs to be baptized in order to live with Heavenly Father again. When we asked her if she was willing to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized, she said "Of course, why not?" Ahhh she's so great. She set a date for the beginning of Septemeber and she's asking her boss if she can get Sunday mornings off so she can go to church. I LOVE MARCEL.
We had Zone Conference with President and Sister Peterson this week and it was so awesome! It was super spiritual and we learned more about our divine identity and having positive thoughts. It was soooo good and also a lot of fun to see old friends. Lol I actually have only ever been to Taipei zone conference because I've only ever served in Taipei or Taipei zones. #livelovetaibei 
Haha so quick funny story is that on Sunday we were riding this huge hill to an appointment and while on our way this lady asked us if we were the "摩爾們教" which is the Mormon church and we said yes! Then she asked "你們是姐妹嗎？" asking if we were sisters and we told her yes! Then she went on and on about how we look so alike and just our skin colors were different and I was more white than Sister Cajilig. And then after, we realized she said that because she asked if we were like actually sisters like same blood line sisters hahaha. Unfortunately, by the time we realized what she said she was long gone. 
But it's true! Even though we may not genetically be related, we are all still children of Heavenly Father who loves us so much! It's been so amazing for me as a missionary to learn to love people as Heavenly Father loves them. I love being a missionary!!
Love you all! Happy Father's day!! (In Taiwan- 8/8, baba lololol)
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...
