Today was pretty jam-packed. We were hanging around with a missionary until his companion got there, so we found a place to buy a can of peanut butter that was cannery sized. I was pretty excited. We also did some Christmas shopping and also found a giant can of coconut spread, which was also pretty exciting.

We were looking for a Brother Ke tonight and forgot his address but knew what street he lived on. So we rode down the street looking for him, and right as we rode past a garage door opened and he stepped out. It was a cool little miracle. We were able to set up a time to come and meet with him.

Tonight we had a phone lesson with our investigator who lives on Jinmen, the little island right next to China. It was pretty cool! And then we went and ate Douhua with brother Zhong and read the Book of Mormon with him. He's getting baptized so soon!

We had a practice for the show on Saturday and our first district meeting with our new district members today! Then tonight we went and visited brother Ke and his crazy son Danny. He's pretty... Off the wall, but it's fun to watch.

We had weekly planning and a surprise lesson this morning. A man walked up to the sisters yesterday and asked for a tour, then they handed him off to us, and we taught him the Restoration this morning. It was a good lesson! Then we went to practice for the show on Saturday, and had our first correlation meeting with our new ward mission leader, Brother Liang. It was fun! We also made Gingerbread houses with a few Recent Concerts.

Tonight was the Stake Christmas party, and the fiftieth anniversary of the chapel being built. So that was pretty good! We did our puppet show and watched a couple other really cool performances. I'm sure we can find recordings all over Facebook. Sister Xu was also able to come, so it was a happy day!

Today we had a short church, just Sacrament and then we had a good ward dinner which a few investigators came to. It was super fun to spend Christmas Eve with them. It's always interesting to eat pineapple cake and a chicken with its head still attached. I felt like we were in "A Christmas Story." Afterwards we drove to a couple of members houses to carol for them with the ward. It was so fun to spread the Christmas spirit.
And I'm here in Taiwan. And it's Christmas. There is nothing else I would want to do. There is nowhere else I would rather be. I just Skyped my family and that is the best Christmas gift I could have ever gotten. We are an eternal family. I could never ask nor expect such a precious gift from Heavenly Father. I love them and Him, and am so glad that I still have 7 months to serve Him. I love you all my friends and family.
Merry Christmas.
