A few changes

This week was good. We had a rainy P-day and it was FREEZING. We went to the chapel and mostly I just froze A TON~ It was the pits. But it worked out. We worked hard this week.

Then on Wednesday we had a BOMB english party hosted by my companion Sister Bang. The zone leaders already knew at this point who would stay and who would go from our zone for the upcoming transfer meeting. At the end of English class, right before they all left, they gathered us together to give us the big news. We were expecting me and sister Tsai to move out of the area because I have only two transfers left and she's been here in Tao Yuan for a really long time. BUT IT WAS THE OPPOSITE. Sister George was told she's moving and same with my precious Sister Bang. Eeek! We were all shocked. So the next day between our five lessons, Sister Bang packed up all of her stuff and we went to transfer meeting on Friday morning. I had no idea what to expect and my stomach was in knots the whole time. Well as it turns out Sister Tsai stayed in her area (in my district) but retired as sister training leader for her last transfer and her companion (slash the other sister training leader) moved to my area so the two of us are now companions and sister training leaders for our zone. Bahh. Also Sister Bang moved to Taipei to serve with my trainee, Sister Hammer. Anyway all this means is that there is a lot of pressure to keep this area going strong. That shouldn't be hard though. Sister George and I believe in obedience and hard work so I know the Lord will bless this area. This also means that we have to go on exchanges with all the sisters in our zone and train them and do trainings at meetings and stuff. So between all the exchanges-- we have 6 this transfer and we'll have 6 next transfer. Moral of the story: time will fly by. Eeek.

Anyway Sister George is great-- she's from a few different states, but her family lives in Texas right now. She loves to bake-- which would be useful if we had an oven. Sad. I knew her in the MTC. We're only 6 weeks apart. She's also super bold at sharing the gospel so I look forward to a lot that I can learn from her.

Anyway the rest of this week is good. We're still teaching the M family! We teach mom, dad, and the two youngest sons. They also hope we can teach the oldest two. Last night they set a baptismal date for Sister George's last Saturday. We really hope we can help them meet their goal.

In other news-- my friend moved to Australia. AND I MISS HER!

That's really about it. We're just working hard. It's nice to teach with Sister George-- she's experienced so I can trust her. We also agree on most things.

I've been blessed to have all amazing companions. It's nice.

Okay lastly-- Elder Holland will be here on Saturday. EEEK!

That's it, folks!

I love you all. I love this gospel. I know its true!
