My wonderful friend Sister Amanda Lee drew this representation of me as a new missionary in Taiwan trying to speak Chinese with my cute asian trainer.
I'm Going Home!!! *to Taiwan
Short version: I think I'm getting anxious. Mostly excited. But scared.
Long version: I was having a stressful Monday (I know Mondays are always stressful) but then I started looking outward and serving those around me and I felt much better. So point is if you feel bad go serve someone! Talk to someone, or do something!
Celebration for last MTC email: This is the story of my second day at the MTC. I was feeling really stressed with the language, and my teacher was asking a question and I had to ask people around me what he said. It was "what is the thing that makes you most happy?" I was tearing up because I was so frustrated, but then he calls on me. I awkwardly smile, then someone else goes "she likes cats!" I just nod. He asks why I like cats. Embarrassed and frustrated, I try to speak a little chinese, but end up saying everything in English going something like "I don't know they're cute and fluffy and I found my cat on the street and I loved her but then she died." And then I cried in class. He quickly asked another Elder why he liked the unicycle. Looking back, it was so funny haha.
My dream I had this week: A swimming pool filled with cats, and I crowd surf across the cats. And I'm not allergic. And I don't hurt the cats.
Well, next time I'll be in Taiwan! Jia you!!! #yaodiyu
Wo ai nimen! Zai Jian!,
