Summer camps are officially over, which in turn means that the summer has come to an end. I think my favorite summer memory (If I had to pick only one) was when all the students that were living at the hotel with us came and visited with me when I was sick. They were really sweet! I shall miss the students in Matsu.
Upon my arrival here to Nantou I decided that I would try and make this as homey as possible for the rest of my team. So the following day was spent in cleaning house. I was enjoying it quite well actually until a little lizard decided to announce its presence. I must have scared him with my loud squeak because he didn't stay long enough to visit. Needless to say at the end of the day I felt like part of the cobwebs were gone and everything had a place. I like that feeling! I guess that teaching won't start for the Nantou and Jiji team till next week. We're waiting on the rest of the new and old members to arrive! That means I have a whole week to clean!! Yeah!! (I take joy in many things!)
On a serious note, I do have to say that I will miss being with the T.A.'s. The ones that are Christians have such a thirst to know the Lord more. It's been a good challenge for me to see their eagerness to learn. It also reminds me of the heritage I have from growing up in a Christian home. Please continue to pray for them, as many of them are going to be starting college again. Hopefully we will be able to get together with some of them and encourage/disciple them.
Thank you for all your prayers, knowing that you are praying has really encouraged and ministered to me as well as the rest of the team.
Please continue to pray for the health of the team. We are slowly recovering. *smile* Also pray for us as we adjust to our new lives and homes for the year.
With much appreciation,
Mai Lewis
