XINNIAN KUAILE!!!

Xinnian Kuaile! (HAPPY NEW YEAR!)  February 2, 2014

 

Well this week has been crazy! I am pretty sure I have gained 500 pounds like I said I would last week. YIKES! We have eaten ssoooooooooooooooooo much. Feasts for every meal. From last thursday until tomorrow, members are feeding us for lunch and dinner! That is 10 feasts in 5 days!!!!!!!! SO MUCH FOOD. Today we went to Shi Jiatings and they wanted it to be American for us.. Haha (usually when people say this they buy us pizza, so we have had a lot of pizza) so we get there and there is mashed potatoes! Theey were like mom's funeral potatoes, they had fried rice, meatballs, banana cake, and marble cake. And fish and pasta and "pumpkin" pie... it wasn't pumpkin though. I don't really know what it was. But it was so good! Also Bishop's house made us American food as well. They made mashed potatoes (this is rare in Taiwan), Chicken, and brownies and salad. It has been so much fun getting to be with our ward members and spend time with them. I wish we had more than an hour with them, but alas, we don't:

 

Anyway's. This year is the year of the Horse. Just so you know. I was born the year of the dog. There is a story about animals racing to heaven which is how they know what the years are. So every twelve years it starts over.

I hope you are all doing good! Lately we have been sharing Mosiah 24:13-15 a lot with the members. Read it. I think it is a good reminder to know that the Lord will visit us in our afflictions and he will help take the burden from our shoulders. He wants to help us. I love you all a lot and I'll talk to you next week!
