Well this week was the Chinese New Year week! I don't know if a lot of people know what it's like but here in Taibei just about everyone leaves the city so it is just super quiet and all the stores are closed because everyone gets the whole week off. We got the opportunity to go to three members homes this year and eat with them. It was super nice to be able to have the delicious food they made and get to know them better.

Not very much actually happened because of the New Year though. We were in the office doing work almost all week. This week is transfer week so I have been doing the travel plans of all the missionaries lately and will probably be up pretty late again tonight and tomorrow. 

This week we met a man from China that absolutely loves our church and knows everything about it. Everything. He has one of the strongest testimonies I have ever heard but sadly because he lives in China he doesn't have an opportunity to be baptized and therefore can't go to church there either. It was an incredible miracle to be able to meet and teach him though and he was able to come to church on Sunday.
