We had an awesome week this week! And I wrote on a little sticky note all the highlights! But then I forgot to bring it... whoops.

Last Monday was super fun! We got to hiking with one of Elder Kelemen's RC in Taibei and it was super fun! The view of the 101 is the best from there!


On Tuesday for district meeting we normally take the train into the other city but this time we decided to ride the public bikes down the mountain! It was the closest I will get to Disneyland here and it was so much fun!

This week we saw some incredible miracles! We met a girl named Annitar from Uganda and she is awesome! She was really interested in the Book of Mormon and really loved all that she has read so far! She understands the scriptures better than most of the people we teach so it is really fun to talk about them with her!


We also met a really awesome young couple! They're names are Abby and Andy. They're both 19 and happily dating but they were totally willing to set up with us and we got to meet with them twice last week! They happily accepted the invitation to pray and read the Book of Mormon. The really awesome part though is that because they don't live in the same city, they do FaceTime prayers together at night! How cool is that?

Another miracle was a girl name 張庭瑜 (Sorry, good luck) She was sitting next to us in Starbucks when we were reviewing the Plan of Salvation with an RC. We invited her to sit in and listen and she loved it! She met again a couple days later and shared the Restoration. She came with us to church yesterday too and loved it! I am so excited to teach her! Also, because she lives in the other ward. (I don't know if I told you but Elder Kelemen and I are over two wards right now.) We went to the other ward yesterday and it is in the same chapel as my first area! I loved being able to go back there and see some of the other members!

Yeah, all our eyes are closed so we'll have to take a better one later!
On Saturday we also got to go to 龍潭 Longtan/Dragon Pool for a baptism there for Elder Kelemen! It was awesome to go and see an awesome family be baptized! They are going to be incredible members! The funny part of that story was our journey there... The bus sign lied and told us the bus was gonna be there at 5:15 but at 5:15 it changed to "Arrive in 60 minutes". So we panicked and hopped on a train for Taibei so we could go from there down to Longtan. Of course that included us running just under a mile in our suits through the middle of Taibei! (Right past the mission office!) It was hilarious and totally unnecessary! We should've just waited for the original bus! But we made it!

That's about it! Love you all!
