Hello Everyone!
Sorry I didn't email last week! I didn't do a big email just because of the Christmas season and stuff! Well, I will start off where with Christmas here I guess! We had a very fun time leading up to Christmas! We did caroling with our ward and then switched to the neighboring ward for theirs too because they invited us to come and help them! Their party was crazy! They had everything from ballroom dancing to Star Wars costumes so that was a really interesting Christmas Party! Hahaha!

Christmas Day itself wasn't really that good for me here. My companion really had no interest in it even though he got more presents than anyone else! Hahaha. (He always told members he didn't get any and all us Americans did. So besides his family and ward sending him some he also got about half the ward here to give him one too) I woke up early and opened presents really quick by myself and then left for church. The meeting was great and then we got to eat with the Bishop's family so it was great! The rest of the day was mostly just finding so I was a little down.
But everything changed the next day! We had P-Day and I got to Skype with my incredible family! We spent the rest of the day just playing games and having fun with the other missionaries here!
The rest of the week went by pretty well too! It's transfers week so during district meeting we did a Moving Call Madness (Just like March Madness but for transfers) We all made brackets guessing where everyone would go! It was really fun and we got a lot of them right!
BUT I ENDED UP BEING THE UPSET! That's right! I am no longer in Tao Yuan! I will miss that area so much and I loved being able to serve there! I grew to really love the ward! But now I am in an area called BanQiao! It is New Taipei City, west of Taipei. I LOVE IT HERE! The area is awesome! The ward is awesome! And my new companion is great! His name is Elder Taylor! (I'll send a picture later, we still don't have one.) I am super super excited for this coming transfer! We are going to have lots of fun and do lots of work!
BanQiao is actually the second most condensed population in the mission! So we have a lot of people that we can contact all the time and we have some really solid investigators already! One family is actually doing their interview right now! The Chen Family. I am really happy and excited!
Well that's about it for this week! Love you all! I'll let you know more next week!
