My talent

Hello world! 

Word of the week: Zhi(1)Yin(1) apparently this is the word for a best friend that just knows you. Love it because the yin is the same yin as music, and I love music.

Short Version: Tomorrow is my birthday, so we are going to a cat cafe to pet cat's and eat ice cream and party! ... oh and also have a lesson
Long Version: Yesterday's lesson at church was about developing talents. One of our investigators/friends turns to me and says "hey your talent is eating a lot." Yes- I will help people not waste food :)
Also kind of funny is that all of our investigators like to hit me. My mom used to hit me (in a playful way) so I guess this is the taiwanese sign of affection. Hm

Love you all! Jia YOU!!!!

Moon Cakes!

While out being a missionary one day, this cat followed us, so we knocked on the door with this pet cat next to us. Our third companion ;). Later that night I re-enacted the cat. 

Ge wei dixiong jiemei ZAO AN!
Phrase of the week: Zao an taiyang, shijie shuo ni hao = Good morning sunshine, the earth says hello. An Elder told us that. Males are funny.

Short Version: I think a typhoon is coming
Long Version: Yes typhoooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Here in Hualian we live on the 10th floor... so yes I think that would be fun. 

Fun fact: this week I said I had zhuangzhuang de toufa, so I said I have strong hair instead of curly hair. Pretty much the same I think haha. 

Jia You everyone! #yaodiyu

Also Mooncakes! That is for the mid-autumn festival, which is coming soon. It's like flaky dough with custard inside and so good! Sometimes has a egg yolk inside for extra fun. Or if you are feeling extra american you can put an oreo on the inside.
