Sorry I'm writing a little later today, we had a zone party
today up the mountain in Danshui at Sister Jin's house! She's the best! We got
zone t shirts, and she made all kinds of food. It was so fun! Man, I just
love Taiwan. It's so beautiful, especially from the 12th floor of a mountain
apartment. Speaking of mountains, it snowed up there on Sunday! Apparently it's
the first time in maybe 20 years since they've had snow! Hahah Last night we
were contacting up the mountain a bit and there were hundreds of cars coming
down, and about every third one had a snowman built on the windshield (: I just
love Taiwanren! That was great. It's been SOO cold though! We heard it
was -5 Celsius (you do the math). Hopefully it should be warming up.
We're lucky that winter started late this year, and it should be ending pretty
soon too!
How precious (:
Oh ps, we had some technical difficulties so we'll be
watching the missionary broadcast tomorrow.
Our people that we're working with are doing so good! So
there's Chantelle, and she's great. She came to church again, and she's working
on buying a new wardrobe so she can be modest. Ah, I love her. Then
there's Chen Lei, who also came to church. Her mom is reallyyy Buddhist,
and doesn't want her to get baptized. She's like 50, by the way. But
Taiwanren really respect their parents.

Anyway, she's doing her best to
keep the word of wisdom, and she actually set a baptismal date!! March 8.
So we'll just keep jiayou with her! There's also a Brother Deng, an LA.
He's like 28 and he knows everything about the church in and out, but just lost
his testimony a few years ago and never came to church for 5 or 6 years.
We had dinner with him one night, and he's come to church for two weeks in a
row and even helped us peike! Umm.. he was the member present? yes. Wow huge
miracle!
We went on a ton of exchanges this week! I got to go with
Sister Guo again, who is now the tour sister. She used to be my STL, so that
was fun to be with her again! I learned a lot from her. Always find
something you can complement someone on! Then I got to be with Sister Qiu
again. She finally got her visa! So she'll go to the MTC around Feb 23,
and then to temple square! I'm so excited for her (: I also got to be
companions with Sister Nau, from Florida. Ah, she's great! I've had so
much fun getting to go on so many exchanges and getting to know everyone.
We've definitely seen the blessings in our area, and we've seen so many
miracles from it! I always tell the sisters to expect miracles when we go on
exchanges. They just happen! But why not expect them every day, you know?
It's been happening!

Exchanges with Guo Jiemei. She also goes home this week.
Last exchange with Sister Qiu before she goes to Temple Square
Haha so something funny I found out. To abbreviate
'thank you' when texting, they say '3Q'. you say 3 as 'san' so it's
san-q. say it with a Taiwanese accent and it sounds like thank you! Haha too
funny.
Man, Sister Wright goes home this week. I've really
come to love her so much, and just love being a missionary with her. I had my
first breakdown of not wanting to go home as we were having language
study. Okay I have to admit, I've definitely been learning Chinese really
fast, probably faster than I deserve. But since my time in Taiwan is
almost done, it seems like not fast enough! I just want to take this last
transfer and work my very hardest and do everything in my power to please the
Lord and find whoever He needs me to find. I know that He is guiding us every
day. There is no other way back to Heavenly Father than through Christ.
But what an awesome way! I love this gospel! Have a great week! Love you!!
Love, Feng Jiemei
