Happy day to all those out there in the western
hemisphere! I hope it's a little bit warmer for you than for me ;) So
first things first. I got transferred!!!! :) :( <-- it's a lot of
mixed emotions. This last week I went on exchanges with Elder Bake so
that we could have our interview for 柯弟兄 and he passed!!!!!!! It was
awesome and he was so happy! I am waiting to see if the service went
through...

| Awesome family who got up super early to feed me and wanted to drive me clear to Taipei but Jason wanted to ride the bus with me so that's what we did. They are terrific!!! |
Then another crazy thing happened. We went to eat dinner and
then we ran into TWO formers. One actually set up again to start meeting
with the missionaries. So that was a little awesome and strange. Then
we headed back to ZhuNan to drop Elder Bake off and ended up helping
them move apartments. It turned out to be in our benefit because while
we were moving we got THE FAX. Ya know, that one with the transfer info.
Oh man it was a excited moment. Every companionship in our zone was
having a change except for one. I was super sad because I had so many
people I love back in XiangShan and because I had a baptism on Saturday
and next week that I won't be able to see. But God has a plan and I
felt really good. Once 吳 D and J had gotten baptized I felt like
what I was meant to do in XiangShan had been accomplished. It was really
hard to say goodbye to everyone but I was also looking forward to the
next adventure.

| Gonna miss these guys!!! |
We got to the BU and the best part of the meeting was
NEW MISSIONARIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so awesome to see them there, they
are so great and I think that they felt very welcomed. There was lots
of hugs from strangers haha, but we have been really praying for them to
get here so it's great to have them arrive!

I have been transferred to
the Taipei South Zone which is actually new, we just created it. Kind of
ironic because when I went to ZhuNan zone that was when they created
that one too. I am now in 木柵, serving with Elder Hawkins from Mesa
Arizona. He is super awesome! And it's super sad too cause this is his
last transfer so we will only be together for 6 weeks :( But we are
gonna work hard! The ward here is so great! I really haven't felt so
welcomed as I have here. The were so kind and they are really wanting to
see some progress in their ward. Our Stake President is also incredible!
Yesterday was insane. It went something like this:
7:30- Ward council
9:00- Church (Where I had to bear my testimony, and it just so happened Pres. and Sis. Day attended our meeting so no pressure)
12:00- Lesson
12:45- co-ordination meeting
1:30-4:00 -meeting with stake president, stake council, and President Day
then normal missionary stuff
7:00- RC Investigator fireside at the BU

So
yeah it was a pretty long tiring day. I hope that you all have a great
week! I love you guys and I hope that you smile and laugh and lot!
