Hey hey hey everybody!
Man, I can't believe that we are starting a new transfer. This past transfer went by way too fast. Like no joke. I have loved every second of it. There was not a day that went by that I did not learn, grow or see God's hand in my life. So we got big news on Sunday morning. I am staying here in Sha Lu and I got a new companion! Sister Carlson is moving down south to Nantou and my new companion is Sister Nelson. She came from GaoXiong. And guess who was her trainer and her last companion down south? Sister Voss! Wow what a small world. She is super awesome! Sister Nelson is a total sweetheart. She is from Provo, Utah and went to BYU before her mission. She is younger than I am. She has been on island for 4 months. Her Chinese is really good too! We are going to have a blast this transfer. I am so excited for all the adventures that we are going to have together.
It is also my first time being a senior companion so it'll be interesting.

I totally forgot my journal to tell y'all about last week. But it was so much fun and it went by so fast. We took a trip out to the pier with some of my favorite people!
And we got to watch General Conference! It was absolutely amazing! I love conference! When a session ended I was just counting down the minutes until the next session started. The 6 of us missionaries watched it in a different room in English. I learned so much from all of the speakers. I really liked the new apostles talks. Just a few hours before hearing them I found out about what was in store for me for the next 6 weeks. I was feeling what they felt … feelings of inadequacy when accepting a new position of responsibility. But their words helped me out a lot.
Another thing is that I hit my 9 month mark! Like Beau said on his mission “That’s like making a whole baby!” How cool is that? Well ... actually it is not cool. Time is more than just flying, it's rocketing out of this atmosphere. We had a pretty awesome birthday party for our English class and I took home a balloon. I used that as my halfway-mark "baby" – haha!
This is probably what I will look like when I am prego-in-the-ego. wierd.
I have learned a lot on my mission … a lot about life, God, the gospel and myself. I am definitely improving as a disciple of Jesus Christ. I am no where near perfect or where I want to be. I can always improve. All of us can.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here in Taiwan. To be doing the Lord's work. I love it so very much.
I love you all! Have a great week.
