Hello!

This week was pretty great. we had a lot of good things happen and it was all a lot of fun.

I got to see the mission President a few more times this week. We had a "meet the President" meeting and he made a few big changes. When I first got on Island we had an additional rule book on top of the missionary hand book. I always thought it was a little unnecessary but I still followed all of the rules anyway. The first thing  President Teh did was get rid of the extra rule book. He has only been here one week but he has already started making big changes. Him and his wife are both from the Philippines. President Tehs family joined the church when he was 3, they were some of the first members in the country. When sister Teh was 17 her family joined the church and she met president Teh. They are both supper great. They also came to the baptism on Saturday and next week they are coming to our sacrament meeting. Our branch is officially turning into a ward and I might have to translate for the Tehs....

Wednesday morning someone told me that there was a huge typhoon coming to Taiwan and it should hit sometime in the evening. But in the evening it never came. So I asked someone about it on Thursday morning and they said it would hit in the afternoon. Then in the afternoon someone said it wouldn't hit until about 5:00. then when we were eating dinner at 5:00 we hear a  radio announcement that said it would be coming at about midnight. During planning Thursday night we got a text from the mission president and we were told we cant leave the apartment the next day because of how bad it was going to be. Everyone was talking about how big of a typhoon it was going to be but the Friday morning when it hit Taizhong it hardly rained at all and it only lasted about 5 minuets. So I don't really know what happened but it wasn't quite as bad as everyone was telling me it would be...
