 客死異鄉 kèsǐyìxiāng to die in a foreign land 💗😣

Today's title comes from one of my pleco sessions this week :) and also what I was worried might happen😥 Haha I might still be worried that will happen...

This week was so so sad but also so so crazy that I had not a lot of time to process it:)

On Tuesday we went from lesson to lesson and then were able to make kollaches with our friend while watching conference. We also had our last lesson with our friend that's getting baptized next week and it's been so cool to see how she's been overcoming the challenges the devil throws at her🌻 After all our lessons we went back and opened transfer calls on the roof and then I had to start packing😥

On Wednesday we were able to say bye to almost all our friends, it was maybe the saddest thing of my life. We had a dinner with one of our friends before ECG and then we taught ECG and said bye to everyone afterwards. It felt so unreal to say bye.

On Thursday I contemplated my whole life haha. Spending 5 months and a half in Nantun CHANGED my life. I am so grateful for all the moments I had there and the people that had so much patience with me. I think my favorite thing has been seeing everybody grow. Nantun truly felt like home and I cannot wait to go back💗

Alrighty my new comp is from Taiwan and she's super awesome! She just got out of training and her English is amazing. She's super patient with me and also so so funny. Our Area is 30 minutes away so we bike A LOT. We also live with the English sisters and so we live with a sister from the Philippines and a sister whose parents are from Mexico and Guatemala. It's so cool to have so many different cultures and so many different personalities haha they all are so funny:)

Anyway in the end I know that this transfer will be another adventure and a lot of growth will happen! But the truth is that the lord knows what's best!

2 Nephi 4:20 
My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.

This verse has been my motto this week so even though it feels like I left home again to go somewhere new and 可能死掉 the Lord's got our back and I'm excited to see the miracles!

Also I'm so sorry I haven't been able to respond to messages recently! I love you all so much though! DONT FORGET HOW AWESOME AND LOVED YOU ARE💗

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
