Merry Christmas from Taiwan!
This week was lots of crazy fun. First I "killed"
Sister Eliason (she went home this week). Then I went to SanMin for 3 days
because I didn't have a companion. I was with LinJieMei; a Taiwanese
missionary. It was way fun! I was there for English class and it was crazy!
They have 14 missionaries in their English program! We have 4.... we're really
out in the sticks. But it's fun!
Friday I finally got my new companion, yay! And she's so
stinking awesome!
I'm pumped for this movecall. She's an amazing missionary and
an amazing example to me, even though she's only been in Taiwan 4 months. She's
so willing and eager to do anything and everything to fulfill our purpose and
calling. We've already seen so many miracles!
Saturday we had our ward Christmas party. It was way fun; they did a really good job putting it on. We had a huge potluck, a gift exchange with Elder Ulrich as Santa, and a little talent show (I got to play the Uke :D)
At the end we all popped those popper things for a fun picture, it
was great!
Don't forget the real meaning of Christmas! Most people here don't even know, so be grateful you know and don't forget; always remind yourself over and over and think of a gift you can give the Savior this next year. If you haven't seen our church Christmas video go watch it! "He is the Gift" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzjFEMmM0Xs
(Also the piano guys/nativity one is so good too; watch that
too!)

Stumbled onto this blog while looking for the Qishan chapel address. Fun to see your pictures of Qishan. I served there from November of 07 to May of 08. I remember all too well the bike-ride up the hill to Guo Mama's house. Killer work-out. Go by sometime and visit Wang Mama for me (she's an older member with a grandaughter member named Ting Ting). I talked to her on the phone and she seems pretty lonely. Keep up the good work!
