Taiwan Taipei Mission

Taiwan Taipei Mission

Every six weeks I'll have the opportunity to either move to a new area or remain in the same area.  The Taiwan Taipei Mission consists of the northern region of the island and the east coast.  Through divine inspiration, my mission president will assign me to the areas that I need to be and with a sister missionary companion.

Fun facts:
  • Taipei 101 was formerly the world's tallest building, but is now second tallest
  • Mandarin Chinese is the predominant language
  • The Portuguese, who discovered Taiwan in the 16th century, named the island as "Ilha Formosa," which means Beautiful Island
  • Taiwan has one of the fastest growing information technology industries
  •  The official name is Republic of China

I really wish I took our teachers seriously when they talked about setting goals when I first arrived here. But again nothing really changed here at the MTC except that I lost more of my friends when the Cantonese district left  on Tuesday . These were some of the best friends I have ever made and I only knew them for 5 weeks here at the MTC. But yeah I'll attach some pics with those studs at the end of this email. So yeah I'll miss them but the new Canto district is coming in today. And since me and Elder...

Well its literally been just an amazing week in paradise aka Tianmu. Like its sooo beautiful here. Last Monday this investigator family, the Liang family,drove us to the east coast and took us to 2 historical spots, 九份 (Jiufen) and 金瓜石 (Jinguashi). Both have so much history and are just soooo beautiful. I loved it. But the best part was we got to spend all day with this super cool investigator family.  But anyways another little highlight from this week was General Conference. SO MUCH FOCUS ON THE SPIRIT. I loved it.  Anyways I'm loving the mission. Loving the mission. Loving the people. And most importantly loving Jesus.  Pics from last p day
