Hello the family!!
Well this week has gone by really well, super
fast, but also pretty weird all at the same time. But our spirits are
high and we are happily doing the lords work here in Dong gang.
To start off the week we had a wonderful
Monday, however this Monday was a little different from other Mondays because
it wasn't really P-day, as they had changed it due to some visa problems with
the new missionaries. This Monday we were really able to get a little bit
of good proselyting, and were able to have a good time teaching the gospel.
I think the biggest things that happened this
week however happened on Wednesday night and throughout most of Sunday.
First off Wednesday night as you might know by now is our English class, and
usually the week before transfers we would have an English Party, so that if
you think you are going to leave you can take a picture with the people that
you like, or just get a good last invitation out to them. This month we
decided that we (of course) wanted to have a Christmas party, and just
celebrate Christmas because people here don't really do that, so we had a fun
time having a paper snowball fight, we made paper snowflakes, had a gift
exchange, sang some songs and finally had the nativity acted out. It was lots
of fun =)
Then on Sunday the other big thing happened,
our branch also had an awesome Christmas party, the initial plan was that there
would be a potluck, so everyone could come and just bring a dish, which should
be enough for everyone and as missionaries we did our part in inviting everyone
that we talked to to come to it as well. It was lots of fun, with a lot
of good Taiwanese food, then after that we were able to all go out and do some
crazy Christmas caroling. That was lots of fun, we were able to see a ton
of people, and my companion dressed up as Santa Clause so everybody wanted to
take a picture with him. =)
Finally this week we were able to meet with a
cool new person who runs a drink stand, we are looking forward to working more
with her, but for now I still don't know much about her situation, all I really
know is that she used to be part of the Presbyterian Church, but was starting
to go a little less active there, so a member invited her to meet with us, and
she accepted, so we will be meeting with her in the coming week.
Well I'm totally looking forward to skyping
you all this Christmas (Friday for me) Hope that you all have a great week and
some happy holidays. Remember that Christ is the reason for the season
and to just have a great time giving to all.
Love you all!

P.S. Have you gotten my Christmas Package
yet? I sent it off 2 weeks ago so it should be arriving soon, keep an eye
out for it. I'm still waiting for my package, but there have been
transfers and so they usually don't forward mail from the office during the
week of transfers to prevent it from going to the wrong place.
Merry Christmas!!
