So one thing I forgot to mention last week is that transfers came out and I am going to start training a new missionary! Elder Keys in my apartment is also going to train and we are super excited to help introduce two new missionaries to Taiwan. But this week has had some complications for sure.
To start off, last Saturday I woke up with a killer headache that would not go away no matter what I did so I spent up until Wednesday just laying in bed trying various over the counter medications and stuff. On Wednesday we decided to get a professional opinion and biked over to the hospital. The doctor there said he didn't actually know what was up. Said it probably isn't a migraine but maybe I sprained my neck weird and it's causing a lot of side effects?, or I got a cold where I am not feeling any of the symptoms but a headache? So long story short- he gave me some medicine to try and so far that has been helping.
More news, the new missionaries were supposed to arrive on Thursday but we got a call earlier in the week telling us their visas were getting delayed and they wouldn't be here for another week. So elder Keys and I became companions for the week and it has been a ton of fun running between our two areas (which are two of the largest in the mission) and getting to know eachother's friends and stuff. We even got to teach an awesome Burmese man who the 3 Hualian Ward elders teach the gospel to but who is also in my English class so I already know him really well. He is getting baptized soon and his English is better than his Chinese, so it was a good time.
But on Friday we got another call, and the new missionaries got their visas! So then we had to run up to Taipei Sunday morning! Totally missed both our church meetings and was super last minute (had to cancel some appointment and stuff 😥) but we are excited to get started with training.
My new companions name is Elder Gibson from Centerville Utah. So excited to start showing him the ropes. Also really exciting was Sunday night the mission President's Wife cooked us all enchiladas! I haven't had an enchiladas for over a year! So good. Mexican food is the best! We basically just rode trains up and down to Taipei on Sunday and didn't get back to the area untill about 9. It was a full day event.
Well yeah that's pretty much the week! Super fun times and an exciting 12 weeks ahead.
Wish me luck with training! (send any advice)
