Chapter 68: All good things must come to an end

大家早早早,
We had a great week this week!! So many great things happened, I can only discuss a few. 
First things first, I'm the most proud trainer in the world. Sister Cajilig passed off her Book A test for Chinese!! I don't know how other missions are with their language study programs, but ours has 3 parts, A, B, and C. Book A is all gospel terms so you can learn how to teach the lessons, Book B is 6,400 of the most common Chinese words, and Book C is about 3,500 of the most common characters. Anyways, SISTER CAJILIG PASSED OFF HER BOOK A TEST AND I COULD NEVER BE MORE PROUD. So she's literally amazing and I love her so much. 
This week we also had zone conference! It was amazing! We focused a lot on family history because we know that the Chinese culture really emphasizes families, and it's such a great way to let people hear the gospel! Quick experience: Sister Cajilig and I were meeting with our good friend Sandy. We shared with her the first few of the 10 commandments and then really focused on keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. We invited her to church again (We have already invited her multiple times, but since she is already Christian, she says she has to go to her other church) and she rejected us. Once again. So we were thinking we might stop teaching her because she hasn't been progressing very much either. After we said a closing prayer, we randomly brought up family history. She actually had a lot of interest and is really excited to learn more! A huge turn around from the way our lesson ended. I'm so excited about how family history is going to help her and change her!!
That's mostly it for the highlights this week. Our friends our still doing great, we are meeting new people, and Sister Cajilig and I are having the most marvelous time. The only sad thing is that this Thursday I will be getting transferred!! I don't know where yet, but I do know that I will be moving. I'm so sad! I'm going to miss Muzha and especially Sister Cajilig so dang much. But it will be awesome no matter what.
Hope you all have an amazing 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...
