MTC Week 7: 2 weeks and counting down til departure to Australia.

Greetings! All is well. Our district was freaking out a few days ago, and we are still freaking out, because reality hit us. We are leaving the MTC in about 2 weeks! And our Chinese is not that great. For me, most worries are drown out by excitement.
Apparently the New Zealand flag looks very similar to the Australian flag, and we took a picture with the New Zeland flag because it was in our classroom, thinking it was Australian. Haha. I'll have to find an Australian flag.
We have started Skyping members in Taiwan and teaching them. It's really cool. There is still a language barrier, but it's a lot of fun. We now do Skype for TRC. We are Skyping a member later tonight!
Elder Brinton is our new District Leader, and he will have that position until we leave. He is smart, and has a lot of the same interests as me. I'm glad he's our district leader.
The MTC has been a great experience so far. I have learned so much. Even though there are a lot of rules, they keep you safe, and focused on your purpose. I have met a lot of good friends. But I know the best is still to come.
Everybody is excited for Thanksgiving. We are going to have a devotional, and then we are doing a huge service project, which will be making meals for other people. We still haven't had an apostle speak to us yet, so we are hoping that we will have that opportunity in the next couple of weeks.
Apparently the Dear Elder machine is broken, so I haven't gotten any for a few days. If you send me a dear elder, please put my email in the box, so it gets sent to my email, as well as the hard copy.
My cousin Nicole Peng is coming home from her mission in Taiwan soon! I wish I could see her. Too bad our missions overlap.
Miss you all!
