Every six weeks we get a transfer call and so on Wednesday
my companion and I were just waiting and anticipating to see what was
going to happen because there was a higher chance I was going to leave
since I had been in the area for three transfers, but then our area was
also doing really well so it was all up in the air. So when 10:30 am
rolled around we were just waiting for the ibon code and an hour rolls
by and...nothing. We were so confused but then after about two hours we
hear this beep and BAM THERE'S OUR IBON CODE. So we jet off to a 7/11
and we put in our ibon code and I see that I am moving to....中壢！
(Zhongli) So I am officially out of Taipei city (my last two areas were
in New Taipei) and am in Taoyuan zone!! It's definitely different from
Taipei, people are a lot nicer, there are less cars everywhere (I mean
how can you compare to 中正路 (Zhongzheng road) in Xinzhuang...that's straight up buses,
cars, and motor scooters FOR DAYS) My new companion is Sister
Christensen and this is her fourth transfer here!! She's three transfers
under me. So...yah to the new area!!
Joanne
is going to get baptized on the 23rd!! We had our last meeting with her
and she was like..I might want to wait until December just so my mom
can come because we had a really good talk but I want to improve our
relationship even more. We ended up doing the interview questions with
her and she did it will flying colors and so we told her, Joanne...why
wait? You are ready? She then said...I am? then we are like...Joanne you
answered all the questions without hesitating, do you want to be
baptized on the 23rd? Then she was so excited....I AM TALKING SO
EXCITED. but she was like wait I want all these people here *starts
listing off names× at first my companion and I were a bit worried that
they all wouldn't be able to go, but as we were praying like crazy in
our hearts and Joanne was dialing the numbers it all worked out!! All of
them could come and she was literally so happy! In her prayer she told
Heavenly Father she was super excited to be baptized and that she wanted
to invite Him to come too. She then made me promise I was going to be
there cause we didn't know exactly where I would be going and then I
asked if she wanted to invite President Jergensen and she's like...who's
that? I'm like...the man who referred you to us. This light switch just
clicked in her head and she was like 
THE
MAN IN THE BLUE SUIT. (He always wears a blue suit.) If he sends you
away I don't want to invite him, and then I got sent away. But I
invited him anyways lol.
Nonspiritual stuff:
So
my bike and my big luggage still aren't here so I have been using an exchange bike
and the bar is so high since it's a guy bike so I have to do this super
high kick every time I want to get on or off the bike.
I
live in a four person apartment since Zhongli has two sets of sisters
and the other sisters are Taiwanese!! I am with Sister Chen and Sister
Zhu!!! They are so cute and so funny. omg
it was so funny when they were going to bed but sister Chen left her
shoes outside their room and I was like do you want your shoes? and I
just hear this "我要我要我要! (I want)" being screamed as she runs to the door
and hugs me saying "you the best!" The mission is SO FUN.
Our curtains are kind of broken and so to prevent the sun from burning my eyes in the morning 
I had to tape it to the wall. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
