Anyway, this week in Taiwan was sooo good. So about the two elders who passed away. There was a memorial service just for our mission on Thursday. So every single missionary no matter where we are serving all got to go to the service. It was so amazing. It was so good and the spirit there was so strong and so real. The spirit that our mission brought to it was just so tender and sweet and it just was an amazing program. So President conducted and we had two Quorum of the Seventies elder's there. It was really cool. So president had some of their companions speak at the memorial. And it was cool to get to know them better. So their companions were able to share some stories about them and they both just sounded like amazing missionaries. Elder Xiong was just so funny. I still remember some stories from when we were in the same zone. So stories about him were just so funny and it was good to just celebrate their lives. They were hard workers and loved this work. I didn't know Elder Thredgold at all so it was cool to learn about him and learn from his example. He sounds like an amazing harrrrrrrd happy worker. So it makes us all want to be a little better missionaries to follow their examples. It was just a really good thing for our mission. Also I think it gave us some closure which was much needed. It was really special and a tender experience. I never expected anything like this to happen on my mission. But I really have learned to turn to the Lord. And to trust God and trust his plan for us. Thanks for all of your prayers as well.(: I love you.
