We leave Taiwan today. :( I have enjoyed our time here so much. I love Taipei so much because of the members. The spirit and love at the fireside was so amazing. I feel so much gratitude for the gospel and for the opportunity to come to Taiwan and fulfill our mission to uplift, influence change and be ambassadors for the school, the Church, and most importantly the Lord. The food has been different and I've tried all of it. It has been very good, but I guess I'm not used to it. I'm so grateful to have been fed. The places we've stayed have been really good and I'm so happy to have a bed to sleep in at the end of our day.
12:40 p.m.-
I'm sitting at our gate at the Taipei airport, just waiting. Some people are reading, talking to family and friends on Skype and eating. It's a beautiful day! But I'm glad we're inside because it's probably REALLY hot and muggy outside. We seat so much here. It's crazy. So, Taiwan for one week. We have done so much, it feels like longer. Taichung, Kaohsiung, Taipei. Thank you and Aloha 'Oe!

We are now in Hong Kong! It's a beautiful city by the ocean. We are staying at a wonderful hotel The Excelsior and we had pizza for dinner. The pizza had corn on it! I love corn! It was delicious
Katie [Kammerer], Natahli [Mills] and I taught these three little girls to dance hula for Waika with us. They were so cute and they dance very well for having only one practice.
Then, we hit the Ladies Market; very busy and the vendors are nuts. I don't particularly like bargaining because I have no idea what's a good price. But I got gifts for my siblings and their spouses and for my mom. Everyone who went got some pretty cool stuff. It's funny how the ladies lower the prices. They hold up a calculator and you type in a price you'll pay then they moan about how it's too low, but if you insist or start walking away they just might give it to you. Or they don't take "no" for an answer. They run after you and say "OK! 150!" The people in Taiwan are more laid back. These ladies are pretty vicious.
