Well as you can probably guess from the title, this week was a bit crazy. If you remember last week, Elder Zhuang left and so Elder Day became Elder Fernandes and I's companion? So we had three people. It was a little bit hard to get used to for sure. He is also really really good at talking to missionaries, so we were constantly talking and the days seemed to just fly by. It actually became pretty fun. Since Elder Day leaves in two weeks, we were watching him do all of the "My Plan" work on the computer. Needless to say he was really excited to watch the dating part. The sad end to this whole story is that on Tuesday night Elder Day called President Jergensen and asked him about interview times. And then out of nowhere president told Elder Day he would be moving. Two weeks before the end of his mission they would be moving him back to his previous area in WanHua. It was super weird cause that never happens. So basically he hung up the phone and we got all of his stuff packed up and ready to go. There was a lot of throwing stuff away and it left the house pretty bad, but we got him out the next morning by six. We had to take a train to Taibei for a zone conference.
The zone conference we went to that morning is actually the last one that will be put on by President Jergensen which is sad. It was really nice though because we were there by his house, and for lunch Sister Jergensen made waffles and bananas and caramel syrup. It was soooo good. I haven't had anything that good homecooked in a long time. We practiced teaching and he shared his testimony with us for the last time. Overall a really good experience. There are 40 missionaries going home this transfer which is super crazy. Because of that, and President going home, he doesn't have enough time to do a last interview with the missionaries staying. Kinda sad, but I do love him and was glad to see him one last time. Right after that meeting, we let Elder Day go, and it was just Elder Fernandes and I heading back on the train.
The rest of the week was pretty normal. We were on the streets talking to people, and then teaching the people that wanted to be taught. Just a normal missionary's life.
Not much else to say until next week, but I love you all and hope you have a great father's day!! (I didn't know it was father's day until I got an email the day after...)
