January 27, 2013


Good Morning mums and pops!
 This week was a little rougher because EVERYONE IS IN MAINLAND! i didnt think it was really that bad around new year. Everyone leaves to go to china. soooo we will be finding.....a lot :) well we do that everyday so no problem!
 no but this week was really good. We have a baptismal date for the 16th. her name is serina :) she is amazing. We also have one for march 3rd. she is keanna. so we will get them all prepared! We dont have a whole lot but it is ok! Aberdeen is just different because of the difference in money but there are still so many prepared people. We will just have to find them!!!!
haha that makes me laugh about Logan. I dont even know how long i have. Just try to find him a girl before i get home ok? thanks :) oh and president hawks prother is Gene Hawks and his wife is KC.
so to answer your questions!
we dont really get into homes because it is illegal. We can only go if someone invites us and old members invite us to chang us to rice. haha we actually had another chang out last night with sin family. It was HOT POT! we are not allowed to eat that so they had to chagne it up for us. Hot Pot is just a big pan of boiling water and you throw meat and vegies in it. The reason we cant eat it is because they dont usually cook the meat all the way and us americans always get sick haha.
sister johnson and i like to speak in cantonese but it is a lot of chinglish haha.
my favorite month was probably november because it was perfect weather but i think this month is beating it because CHINESE NEW YEAR! the cherry trees are huge here. They dont have them on the island but they like import them from mainland and they are so pretty! also so many decraions. And the weather is like perfect right now. So i love january! and i hear that feb is a little cold andn then it just starts to get hot again.
I havent used the milk yet but i will! hmmm i dont think there is anything else you need to send!  
CHINESE NEW YEAR!
what a wonderful time to be here. all the stuff you see in like the oriental trading company thing is real!!!! the banners and the decorations! they are everywhere. they have like 5 gereration fruit trees and everyting is red and gold. I love it. a ward member gave me a banner that sayd DRAGON HORSE JING SAHN (but in characters of course) and it is just the coolest thing ever. you hang them on the door. It reminded me of when i texted myself in my sleep. the whole rabbit horse big thing haha. It is because i knew i would be going to china. That actually means LUCK here. so yep.
Today we are going to the new year fair in tlwan so ill take some pictures and send them your way! :) i love you!

WOW NATALIE! CONGRATS! :) so fun! and kale! what an army of missionaries! anyone else leaving?
