WEEK 10: Mo Jie Mei in Taiwan

Hailey Jane made it to Taiwan after a 13 hour flight from San Francisco and traversing 7000 miles!

We received this photo of her with her new companion and trainer from her mission President, President Jace B. Jergensen.

You can watch a short video of her arrival and see more pictures of her in Taiwan at the mission website:   http://www.taiwantaipeimission.com/
The photos and video are under the section "Dedicatory Site and Training with New Missionaries".

WEEK 9: I AM FINALLY GOING TO TAIWAN!

HELLO I AM FINALLY GOING TO TAIWAN! Today is the day!

I cannot believe it has been 9 weeks. It has felt like an eternity & at the same time, a day. The MTC has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I have learned so much and met incredible people here. People from all over the world! I love how diverse this place is. I have been stretched and challenged in ways I didn't know were possible, but have made it through every struggle by the help and grace of God. I mean I can *prettymuch* get by in a conversation with a native Chinese speaker and it has only been 2 months?! WHAT IS THAT? A miracle. Definitely a miracle. 

So yes- the next time you hear from me I will be in TAIWAN!! 7000 miles over the Pacific! Words cannot express my excitement or gratitude for this experience. I love you all and your support and love help me through. Thank you for everything! 

p.s. you know how you say "geng-ho!" to express being all for something/excitement about something? well that literally translates to "more good" in Chinese! so YES you all know a Chinese word and it took all of us here 9 weeks to realize it! hahah

I love you all!!!

xoxo,
