Hello my lovelies~



I'm sorry to admit that I don't have much to write about this week.

So I should tell you all about rain in Taiwan. SO HILAROIUS! When it rains here.. no really, it's ridiculous. It's so fun riding bikes in the pouring rain... until you have to go sit in someone's humid home and get water all over their house. The rain part is AWESOME THOUGH! Really. It's like those buckets that dump at water parks. Moral of the story: I love rain <3

My companion and I decided that we need to step up body beautiful program because let's be honest-- it's not working. We're giving up candy this week. Moral of the story: I will shed all my tears because right now we eat chocolate after every meal. Hmmph. Not a fan, but if my investigators can give up smoking, surely I can exercise a little self control.

Two nights ago my companion and I decided to have a movie night. IT WAS SO AWESOME! We found a Mormon Tabernacle Choir film about "Joy to the World." I'm not gonna lie-- it's a fan favorite. We popped popcorn (also-- i love butter so much). Then we sat on my bed after planning and watched the movie. I liked our little theatre. It was super fun and actually a really good film about Christmas. I'll keep that in mind in 6 months when Christmas comes around. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

You should know that I am not a fan of large bugs that don't die and they can fly. They are... .eek I can't even right about it without feeling antsy. Or better yet cockroachy! Not even kidding. You do not even know how nasty these guys are. The other night right when we got home I was making some phone calls and my companion was organizing our ensigns. Then suddenly she just screamed and jumped away. Eeek! Roach spotted. I wasn't even gonna go near that half of the room. Needless to say-- being the wimps we are. We called the elders because they live right by us. We gave them the keys to our apartment and sent them up to the war zone. They came back 10 minutes later gave us our keys and showed us the picture they took of the sign on our door that says "we are the number one babes!" Embarrassing--- but I'm just glad they got the roach.. OR SO I THOUGHT! The little bugger was sitting in a box on my desk! They only stunned him. I grabbed the box with two notebooks and threw him off the balcony. Box included. We grabbed the litter the next morning. Oh I could die. So nasty. I hope to never have that experience again...

Mostly this week was kind of anti climatic. We did have a member of the seventy come... While we waited for him we set up to take a picture and sang hymns. My companion informed me later that an elder touched my hair. WHAT?! BU XING! (not okay) Apparently he brushed it off my shoulder... which I would have probably noticed if it weren't for the massive 70s shoulder pads on the blazer I was wearing. So hilarious. And so awkward. THIS GUY!

I feel bad that I don't have anymore exciting things to share. Our investigators are doing well. Oh and the visit with the seventy was... insightful. I didn't have to give my talk. We did talk a lot about working with members and less actives. The ward I am in only has 20% active members. Result of the visit with the seventy== las night we had an awesome meeting with the Bishop about who specifically needed our help. It was probably the most useful meeting with ward members I've been to. We're excited this week to put the things we learned there into action. The Less actives won't even know what hit them!

Cae

ps. this guy by us in the internet cafe is hardcore playing some killing video game and the sound effects are off the wall... and incredible annoying! Seriously who goes to play on the computer this early in the morning?!

LOVE YOU! LOVE THE WORK! And I'm very hungry this morning.
