Welp my child Sister Rhynard moved out into the world (moved to ShiLin!) and I am taking over the land of XinAn! I will miss her and am so grateful for all the memories and work we were able to do together in XinAn the past 12 weeks. I have been here since the end of September and will be here for another 6 weeks so it's safe to say this place feels like a 2nd home:')
Who are my companions though? Oh how the turn tables....
I have TWO: Sister Watson and my MTC companion Sister Langley!
Back to the trio and I am so excited for a new year, new transfer, and new fresh start. Happy 2017 everyone!!
I have been pondering the year of 2016 a lot and I think it is safe to say it was the best year of my life. I started the first couple months of 2016 by spending incredible time with the people I love most and then headed off on this adventure of sharing the gospel in Taiwan! I have never felt so close to my Savior than I did this year. Lesson learned: Heavenly Father has so much more in store for our lives than we could ever achieve on our own and the happiness He gives is extremely different than the happiness the world can give. And the greatest ending to the best year of my life *drum roll please* 鄭卉捃 was baptized on 12/31!! I have no way to describe to you how amazing it is to see people changing their lives through Jesus Christ. Watching the process from beginning until when they are being baptized is the most beautiful and strengthening experience. I love the Savior and I love this gospel and the Book of Mormon and that I get to share this message everyday!
not gonna lie most of the time I think the hardest part of the mission is writing weekly emails...!!!!
hahaha #strugglebus
Lastly I will tell you my word of the year for 2017! In a family home evening a while back, my mama had us pick a word that would be our motto for that year and this year I picked the word "sacrifice". I have learned so much about sacrifice through our Savior and it is something that I want to study more. But basically every single day in every situation we have the opportunity to sacrifice what we want in order to serve others and serve the Lord. Tell me your words of the year! I hope everyone can make a goal this year to learn more about Jesus Christ. The joy that comes from doing so will change your life. kisseeeesss
