Meg's address in Taiwan and her new name

FYI, Meg's address in Taiwan is:
Sister Megan Smedley
Taiwan Taipei Mission
4Fl, #24, Lane 183, Chin Hua Street
Taipei, TAIWAN, R.O.C.

Also, FYI, while in Taiwan, her name is Mai Jiemei.
Jiemei is Sister and Mai is her new name.  They don't have an alphabet there and
no symbol for Smedley and they cannot pronounce it so they gave her a new name.
But if you write her, you can still write Sister Smedley on her letters (or packages!)
or in her exact words:
Mom:  So you are sister Wheat?  Do people think that is odd?  I love it!  That is so cool!  Why can't you be Smedley?
No it's not odd at all! there is no translation for Smedley here. They don't have an alphabet. And they can't really say smedley very well... they all think that is a really hard name to say. haha
