Wow, another day another week. I am already in my third week of teaching here in Taipei. The time has flown by, but I have been enjoying each minute.
On Friday Joel, Mai, Josiah and I welcomed 4 other team members to Taipei. Dexter Sellin and Daniel Vanderhorst were staging through on their way back to the States, Katrina Nisly is helping us with the Taipei camps, and Rebekah Gilley came in early for a press conference that was held Sunday morning. The rest of the Nantou group arrived Sunday morning a few minutes before 11.
Mr. Morgan Sun, the CEO of the education Division of the King Car foundation had arranged for the press conference. It was a normal PR meeting, several short speeches by important people, as well as from a couple of our team members, and lots of pictures.
Also, it was great to get to see the rest of the team again and to catch up a little on what had been happening with them the last two weeks.
Here in Taipei we are getting a lot of repeat kids at our camps, this is both a good thing and a problem. The problem is that because some of the kids have been here before, they know most of what we are teaching since we teach the same thing each week. However, the relationships that I am building are worth far more than the inconvenience of trying to come up with new ways to teach the same material. It is amazing to talk with the kids and realize how much they love to be with you. I am so glad for the opportunity to work with these kids for more than just a few days; I think it may have impacted me more than it has the kids.
Please keep us in your prayers, as we are carried along by them.
Until next time,
Chase
