我覺得，還可以

 大家好! This week was so cool!

Tuesday we had a mission devotional with Elder and Sister Rasband! They have a grandson in our mission so this was there Christmas gift to him haha. Elder Rasband told us "this is your mission". Even though some of us are here temporarily we have been reassigned by apostles and this is where we are supposed to be. It was a good reminder that I should be focusing on the work here instead of looking to Taiwan too much. He also allowed one Elder and Sister to ask a question and my companion Elder Lopez was chosen! So he got to introduce us and ask his question to an Apostle which was so cool.

Our Christmas ornaments

Thursday we had Zone Conference which was really a mission conference over zoom because we can't meet in person. It was like 7 hours long but it was really good. There was a lot of training on finding and being more creative in our finding ways. We've been trying to implement that and we've been making some Christmas ornaments for less-actives. One of our members also made dinner for us Chinese elders which was so nice cuz we were running out of food haha.

Friday was a super busy day, we had a lesson with our friend Emily who lives like 30 min away. It went pretty good, at least I think so because I was distracting her 6-year-old daughter the whole time so my companions could actually teach a lesson haha. Also we had an awesome miracle! With the way the days lined up we didn't get our MSF money on Monday so we couldn't go shopping and we were literally out of food by Friday. But our family friend Esther reached out to me and dropped off groceries for us! I was so thankful and immediately recognized it ask a blessing for our Heavenly Father. We also had a Book of Mormon study with Lai弟兄 and then two member visits with some less-actives. We've been finding about 1 new person a week and have a pretty good teaching pool which is amazing for our mission.

Saturday we helped with a service project which was a nice change from our daily routine. We also potentially found another person named Jane who wants us to teach her son but he wasn't home so we just taught her haha.

Spam Mitsubishi (It looks bad cuz I don't have the plastic box)

Sunday Emily and the Tang家庭 came to church again! Even though our branch is small I love church and seeing all our members there. Sunday is one of my favorite days because we get to see so many people.

I still don't know if I'm going to Taiwan next transfer or not but I'm listening to Elder Rasband and focusing on the people here in our area. Overall it's going really good and I'm excited for Christmas this week!

我愛你們! 聖誕節，快樂!

大家好! I can't believe I'm just about done with my first transfer. We got the transfer board on Saturday and I'm staying in Hayward with Elder Vos. Elder Lopez is leaving to San Fran but we're getting a new greenie so technically Elder Vos is double training but I sorta get to train the new greenie haha. That will be fun. I also found out this week that Taiwan is closing its borders right now because of Covid so our visa process has stopped. It was super sad to hear and I'm not sure when I'll be able to go but I know this is all part of the Lord's plan. This week we had a couple good lessons with 陸先生 and he came to Church on Sunday! It was good to see him after a couple weeks and we had some members present in our lessons to help fellowship him. He is slowly progressing and getting closer to baptism.  Visiting Lude and Kai We honestly haven't had the greatest week, we've found a lot of people but a lot of times they aren't really that interested an...

New Pot

 大家好! Wow, I'm finally done with MTC. It's been an amazing nine weeks and I've learned and grown so much. At first, I was nervous for online MTC, but it's been so much better than I thought. I've been able to feel the Spirit every day Last two classes and just have fun with my district. Even over zoom our district became such good friends and I'm thankful for their strong testimonies. My teachers were so amazing and I'm grateful for them in helping me get to where I am now. It's starting to get real that I leave next week because I've been gathering my stuff and packing up my room. I'll get to be on a flight with some people from my district including Jackson 长老 so I'm excited for that. My Chinese isn't great haha and I still have a lot to learn but I'm so excited to get out there and just start. I will say nine weeks of being at home, while great, seemed to take forever haha. One of my teachers 李老师 said that we have grown out of our...

很好的工作

 大家好! Christmas week on the mission was a little weird but so awesome! We weren't able to have a lot of lessons because most of our friends were busy or gone for the week but we had a lot of great member visits. The sweaters Luda gave us Tuesday we went to Luda's again and she gave us all sweaters. Mine was too small and I think maybe a women's sweater but she made us all put them on anyway haha. We also dropped off some more homemade ornaments to members. Each time someone was home they'd always give us some food which is usually apples so now we have a ton of apples in our apartment. We met some of the less active members of our branch which was awesome. The trio Thursday didn't feel like Christmas Eve that much. We had another visit with Luda and Lai but then from 4-9 was technically P-day. Our Zone did a white elephant gift exchange which was really fun because everyone got joke gifts. One of our members Andy made dinner for the 6 of us Chinese Elders. He's ...
