Merry Christmas everyone! This will be a short post this week, we have lots to do today! But I want to make sure to start with some big news! Our trainee has arrived!! When Sister Willoughby got the call from Pres.Scott last week telling us we were going to train, we expected that our trainee would be arriving about two weeks later than the rest of the new missionaries (Mandarin speaking missionaries tend to come in at a different time due to the timing of the transfers for missionaries in Taiwan). Boy were we surprised when we got to the Mission Home for training on Tuesday and discovered we would be taking a new sister home that day! Sister Mek (麦姐妹)is our new companion. She came in with the other missionaries because she wasn't at the MTC studying Chinese, she was there studying English! She's from Hong Kong and is AWESOME! She's already teaching us so much. She is absolutely fearless and we both love working with her.
Unfortunately for Sister Mek, her first Sunday in the field did not include church! We were hit by a HUGE ice storm on Saturday night, and as a result, church got canceled. So instead of church, we went out to do our first bout of tracting here in KW! It took us forever to chip through the 1/2 inch thick ice on our car, and as we were walking there were several wipeouts, but all in all it was a fun and exciting day.
Love you guys and take care!
