Hello 大家 and 聖誕節快樂!!!
I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas from Taiwan! This Christmas season has been one I will never forget and has really helped me focus on the reason we have this holiday. Jesus Christ is the reason we are here and have everything that we have! I am so grateful for the holiday season to think of Him and His example and focus on trying to serve others as He did! If you need ideas check the link below and definitely watch the video:) I love my Savior Jesus Christ and am grateful every single day that I have the opportunity to be a missionary and share about Him. Sending you all my prayers and love and lots of hugs and kisses over the miles. I love you so much!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

check it outttt-->
1. On a morning run this week at the park I straight up ATE IT.
2. MY CUTE FAT HAND--> I landed on my right hand and it took all the impact (plus my knees and my elbow and shoulder a lil hahah) bruisie bruise. My hand hurt worse after this fall than it did when I broke my foot in high school. I landed on it and then sort of skidded forward with my weight all in my fingers bent under my body. I thought I had broken every bone/tendon/blood cell in my hand it hurt so bad hahah BUT God works miracles and NOTHING WAS BROKEN!!
3. This is my taiwanese mother 徐媽媽! (mama you would LOVE her!) she makes the best smoothies and always brightens my day.
4. The day that I fell running, we walked by her smoothie shop on our way to grab lunch and she saw my hand and freaked out! She was like "I am going to do for you what your mom would do for you if she were here" and then whipped out a first aid kit full of Chinese Medicine haha. She takes out this red ointment that is like...well...super red and she rubbed it all over my hand. And the thing with the red stuff is that it does NOT rub in. You just glob it on apparently hahaha. So she puts it on and then puts some gauze and tape over it and tells me I am good to go! Here's the final product: HAHAHAHA
BUT remember how we were on our way to lunch? Well it was a veg place where you use 夾子 your hands, it's self-serve.You would not even believe the looks of horror that I was getting hahahahah People were gasping and staring and moving far, far away from me HAHAHA oh my goodness so funny. So finally I am checking out and the lady at the counter is like "你怎麼了!?" (what happened to you?!) and I announced, loud enough for everyone to here, "這是中醫!" (it's just Chinese medicine!) and then the whole restaurant calmed down and people resumed eating, only a little distraught by how terrible my hand looked hahahahah
