Thursday
I woke up Thursday (August 30, 2023) morning and hoped on a bus to Salt Lake City Airport. We then took about a two hour flight to San Francisco. We had about a 5 hour layover then got on the plane to Taiwan. I think it was about 12 hour flight maybe a little more. The take off was delayed but we made it to Taiwan at 7 pm Taiwan time.
Friday
We then met the mission president and his wife and headed to the mission home and got some sleep.
Saturday
We woke up. That afternoon we went to some big building with the old Chinese style. This building was big. We went inside and it had some cool interior design.
We then went onto the train station and had an activity. We had to take 5 pictures with random people. Say ni hao to 10 and also xin1ku3le which means thanks for your hard work. And we had to take pictures of items in different train stations. And make it back to where we started. Really learning how to navigate the train systems.
We then went to the night market. Across the street from where we ended. I split off with Elder Sims. We went straight to 7 11 and bought some water. Then went and explored. The night Market was super cool. Me and Elder Sims went and ate some garlic fried chicken. It was fire. All the food here is really good. We then went home and slept.
Sunday
This Sunday was fast Sunday. We went to church and listened all Chinese. I was able to understand a decent bit. But only because of all the church vocabulary and stuff. We then went to chaing kai-shek memorial hall. We walked around trying to hand out a Book of Mormon. But I'm not the best at Chinese or talking to others. Usually out and about at home I would never bother someone.
It was good though. We took lots of pictures and also. A couple people took pictures with us. So that was cool. Probably because they see two tall white guys in a foreign country. We didn't end up handing anything out. I was yo scared to talk to people.
We then had dinner with the mission president I'm the mission home. It was pretty yummy. We learned more about them and stuff. I love our mission president. He is so funny.
Today is Monday when I sent this out. We are getting our trainers today. Hopefully I get someone who can help me out. Because I don't know anything. I'm pretty nervous.
Hopefully I can get used to it here. I don't know how to talk to people. Especially in Chinese.
Anyways. I love you all. Stay safe
