The sun is glistening off the wet pavement as we drive down the highway on our way to Nantou. Off in the distance the mountains tower, carpeted by deep green trees. Closer to the road tall buildings with signs in a language we do not know are all pressed together in a dense concrete jungle. The sights and smells all around us are freshly new and they assault the senses with a barrage of new and exciting scenes. It's great and the adrenalin is beginning to run!
We've survived our flights from the states and now are well on our way to being part of Taiwan. It's amazing how we have already seen the Lord's hand work for us. Every one of the team was able to make the connecting flight in San Francisco and we even weathered a short scare when one of the girls had trouble getting her tickets processed through and we didn't know if she was going to make the flight or not. All those things are past now and we can use these experiences as an encouragement to keep the faith in the coming days. We have jet lag ahead of us, new foods to try to understand, a language that we cannot use, new places to live, and experiences that we are all looking forward to.
It looks as if our plan right now is to continue on to Nantou and get all settled in. We will spend the rest of the day doing some shopping and getting to know all the teachers better. We ask that you would continue to pray for us here in Taiwan. Two of our team members were not able to get their luggage at the airport so you can pray that the airline is able to get the luggage to them quickly. Also we are going to be attacking jetlag so pray that we are able to sleep when the time comes and be full of energy when not asleep.
Keep your eyes open for more updates as you keep us in your prayers.
Daniel Neu
