FEAST!!! February 15, 2016

Well this past week was the best week of food of my life. The members of Minxiong/Jia Yi are so great! We got fed for pretty much every lunch/dinner up until Saturday. The Chinese New Year celebrations were super cool and people were super friendly all week! However, the work was definitely slower. That being said, we were still able to help our friend Gary set a baptismal goal so that's super cool! Besides that, Elder Mitton left Minxiong today and I have a new companion, Elder Jackson from Ohio! I've become Da Tongban aka Big companion aka senior companion. I have no idea how to be senior companion but that's ok it'll be fun! Elder Jackson seems like a stud and very ready to work which is good because this week is Power Week which means that mission wide we have crazy high goals and we have shorter study times and we eat on the go! It's gonna be awesome. Well here's some pics!

Happy Valentine's Day

Our Branch pres and his life took us to "the best restaurant in all of Jia Yi County". It was pretty dang awesome. We got a 5 course meal and I got the best steak I've had since being in Taiwan. I also ate foit grois or however you spell it which was weird. Then I had one of the best cheesecake I've ever had ever. :)

There's this crazy rich member in one of the Jia Yi wards that invited a bunch of us missionaries over to her house for a gigantic traditional new years feast.

Our ward mission leader, Robert and his family took us to a Thai restaurant! It was like a normal Thai restaurant but if you pay the buffet price you can order as much as you want!!!!! It was so good. Definitely one of my favorite meals I've had in Taiwan. They say that smell is the sense most related to memory and I will say that when I first smelt the green curry it was like I was teleported home! So good. 

Went to a super nice American restaurant with some members. I got a chicken cordon bleu hamburger with grilled peaches on it that was legendary and then we got red velvet cake. :)

This is Elder Johnson. He died today. RIP. (he didn't actually die, Mom. He went home to Utah.)

My new friend Elder Jackson!
