Sister Jarvis' loves teaching with her new companion and also ate pig heart.
Hello my wonderful, stupendous family!
What a busy, fast week eh? :) Time just seems to be flying over here! Sometimes it feels like we're running out of time to do everything! AKA I'm learning how to be a simplifier........something I've never been too great at :) O! and an organizer.......something I'm also still learning :) Cool things from the week: Zone Conference!!! Sooooo goood!! Focusing on reading PMG every day, obedience, we are getting these awesome new maps and rulebooks too! The APs made this super funny video about getting rid of the old rule/guidelines book and had a "ceremony" to throw them all away in this large tin can and then we got new ones- it was super great :) We also had this great message on obedience from President Bishop- so inspiring! The Taibei Temple President and his wife came to speak in our ward yesterday......sooo good! He talked about going to the temple not just for our ancestors, but for ourselves too......we need the spiritual experience of the temple. Also something I loved that he said was that the Chinese people need the temple :) The Chinese people have the largest amount of family history and records of ancestors..........truly a blessing for each and every one of these saints to go to the temple :)
Miracles: My dear sweet companion led two wonderful lessons this week that were filled with the Spirit....it was so great :) The language is definitely not an easy thing for her, but she was truly led by the Spirit :) We taught this girl who came to English last week and asked if she could sit down with us after. She said she had met with the missionaries about a year before and wanted to know why our church was different from others( great question ;D ) so we invited her to pray and said we would share about that next time. Well when we met with her again she said she had been baptized the day before into another church, but was still interested in learning more! Sister Shultz led this beautiful first lesson focused on prophets and by the end she said she wanted to keep meeting with us! Super cool! We had another lesson where she led the PLAN of Salvation that was also beautiful :) The Spirit is real, and even when we may not be able to speak the language, the Spirit most certainly can and will carry it straight into the listener's heart......there is nothing I love more right now then when Sister Shultz and I are able to teach 50/50 in a lesson......it's just amazing!
Time is almost up! (it is shortened by half an hour :) ) But I just had a really amazing experience this week as we were biking when I felt so at peace, so happy, and so comforted ;) I know these feelings are from my Heavenly Father and know that as we focus and do our best, He DOES bless us immensely! Life is never easy, but it's sooo worth it to keep our covenants and do His will :) I love these people of Taiwan and are so grateful for their examples of sacrifice and love. I am so grateful for all of you as well and hope you have an amazing week- full of scripture study, inspired prayers, and true happiness :) I love you!

Culture updates: I forgot to tell you I ate pig's heart last week! So cool and actually not all that bad either :)
