September 26, 2016 - Walking...For Hours

Well I have officially moved out to the boonies of Taiwan. You can ride any direction for 20 minutes and might not see a single person. It was a little like whiplash from being in one of the most populated cities to this. From Monday to Friday we were waiting for my bike to be shipped from TaiZhong. So we walked....Everywhere.  

You wouldn't think walking would be that bad, but it is. We got lots of blisters and were aching a lot. I feel so bad for missionaries who walk everywhere. I needed new shoes more than a month ago and kept meaning to get them... I'm going to get them today. :-]

On Thursday, we walked to Pu Zi (said like Winnie the pooh and the sound that "z" makes by itself) which is normally a 30 minute bike ride, but walking.... it was a couple hours.... I included a picture of us on our walk.



​I left the charger for my good camera in Taizhong so I had to use my old camera. Luckily the greatest member ever in Taizhong sent it to me and I have it now. 

​I included a picture of my new companion, Elder Fuller, on the way back was about ready to give up.. haha.



Even though Elder Fuller has been in this area for 6 months, it is like we are starting over. There are no current investigators which is kind of a hard place to start.

This place is so different from anywhere I have ever been. It should be interesting. We got our bikes for the weekend and are extremely grateful. NO MORE WALKING!! 
This next week should be better. 

I love you all.
