we went to an LDS ward in hualien. the missionaries translated the entire sacrament meeting for us, so i got a little bit more out of the meeting than last week. {when i couldn't understand one. single. word} here's a picture of us in front of the chinese sign: "the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints"
the meeting was similar to mother's-day meetings in the u.s. each mother or "mother-to-be" in the room got some flowers and a letter that said, "mother i love you". here are my flowers:
{on a related note: anyone that finds out i am married here freaks out and says, "oh, you so young!" and soon afterwards asks if i have any children! [people here don't get married until they are thirty or older] but married or unmarried, we were all grateful to be recognized as "one day mothers"}
then we took the six-hour trip back home. once home, i ate this for dinner:
surprisingly, i am starting to love the food here. not just like, but love. even things that i couldn't stomach at first, i am actually craving! what is that? cruel, i think, that when i only have one and a half weeks left, i am finally falling in love with the food....
