Move-call results...

Hello!

Good news... Sis. Howard and I are still spreading the Good Word
together in Tanzi and Fengyuan! I am so excited to get to spend
another transfer with her for lots of reasons. We have made big goals
and big plans for what we will do this move-call. This is Sis.
Howard's last move-call (yep, Kevin and I are both killing our
companions :D) and she has a lot of mission goals that she hasn't
quite reached yet that we are determined to hit. The biggest goal that
we are working on is 25 baptisms this move-call. Yep, you read right-
25. That is how many she needs to hit the goal she set at the
beggining of her mission. That is going to take a LOT of work but we
are starting the move-call off strong with one this weekend. It is
actually the baptim that was supposed to happen this last weekend but
wasn't able to go through. We are so excited though and can't wait to
see the miracles that will come about from striving to hit this goal.
I don't know if logistically it is even possible to get 25 baptisms in
6-weeks but we're going to work our hardest to make it happen!

Oh, move-calls. We call them move-calls because that is what it
"transfer" translates into in Chinese. I called them transfers for a
couple of weeks and then just felt funny cause all of the other
missionaries call them move-calls. :D

This was a crazy week for me as I had my first sister's exchange. It
was so fun! I had a native companion for a day and got to ride around
Fengjia and Donghai (south Taichung). It was interesting to see how
another missionary works and what another area is like. Being away
from Sis. Howard and our area made me so grateful for both of them! I
learned so much from Sis. Chu though and am so grateful that I was
able to spend a day serving the Lord with her. That was
Tuesday-Wednesday and then on Thursday Sis. Howard and I went back to
Taichung to teach the new missionaries that came in that day how to
set statistical goals for their missions. Sis. Howard was able to show
them all her cool graphs. She is such a rockstar. I am so grateful she
has showed me how to set and record awesome mission goals.

Other than being on the bus a lot we didn't have a lot going on this
week. Well that is besides a ton of rain on Saturday and Sunday. When
I got my mission call I thought I was going to a ridiculously hot and
sticky place that I would never need tights or scarves. Boy was I
wrong! I forgot that even though I was going to an island they would
still have winter- and the Taiwan winter is freezing! But it's never
to cold to stop us from spreading the good work and kicking Satan's
face in!

Today two other Sisters from our zone came up to our area and we all
went to a super yummy Taiwanese buffet restaurant. And let me tell
you, the Taiwanese buffet is MUCH different than the American buffet.
It included fun food like mini octopus' and chicken feet. Yum! And no,
I tried neither but Sister Page (American) and Sister Zheng
(Taiwanese) did and I just watched in aww as the chowed down. I'll try
and send pics next week.

Well I think that I have shared all of the news for the week. I love
you all and am so glad to hear that everyone is safe and sound! Be
sure to keep me updated on where everyone will be moving to in the
next few months. There are some exciting changes coming up in the next
few months. Yay!

Love you!
Sister Amy Reece
