Wow, You Could Really Improve

New quote of the week from working on being more mature: if Jesus was watching right now, what would He say? "Wow, you could really improve!"

Word of the week: suiguotou (sway gwo toe)~ overslept! 

Short: So our mission trainers are companions, and we are companions, so we kind of just switched haha.

Long: Well... we are newbies. But we totally got this! Also my favorite moment this week was probably when an investigator looked to my companion and tells her in English: "you look like you've lost a lover." Oh and when the Elders acted out "at the grocery store" for English class, and I gave them a bag and he was like "oh looks like you bought some... some trash?!" yup it was a bag full of trash :). 

Love you all! Keep in touch!

What happens when you and your companion are both newbies?

1.) You get 2 Sisters 1 bike :)

2.) You accidentally break rules..(.it was an accident though ;))

3.) fun (because you realize neither of you really know what you are doing haha)

So Sister Althoff is my new companion, and like what??? We've been here three months!

Word of the Week: ke(3)lian(2) (someone called us this... I didn't understand so had to ask someone.) It means pitiful.

Short version: we LOOK like asians... until you hear us speak :3

Long Version:Sum up of the week- so we had to send a bike to Yonghe for my other companion, and someone called, but I forgot about this so I was SO confused and did NOT understand their chinese. They asked if there were any taiwanese in the home, and I looked at my skin.... then said no none haha. It was funny and I finally figured out what they were saying! So cool!

Love you all! I will let you know how it goes!

Zai Jian!

The Tiny-Phoon

Short version: Well, I got distracted by my sister talking about the new pokemon game
Long Version: In the words of my funny companion, as it is her last day in Taiwan (tomorrow I get a new companion!): the typhoon was WEAK. A blow-dryer was stronger than that. Mainly people cancelled appointments and no one is one the streets because Taiwan freaks out about typhoons. But there was a ray of sunshine through it all- literally her name was Sunny and she is STUNNING. 

So yup! New investigator is Sunny! Met her on the day of the "typhoon" and she bought us lunch, and was praying to meet someone on her walk :).
Bye
