Nantou County, here we come!
Praise the Lord that Christina and Holly arrived in Ying Pan today. Pray for the other teachers who will be coming next week. Also, I ask for prayer that the Lord would prepare all of us teachers as we get ready for the coming school year.
Here we are, Chase, Mai, Joel, Christina, Holly, Daniel, and I at Ying Pan Elementary School. I am so relieved to have all the summer camps over with. Starting next week, we will be teaching English in the public schools. Until then, I'm not sure what is going on.
Today, I went for a nice long walk, and I met some new Chinese friends. Holly and Christina got here, which made Mai feel a lot better. Oh, and we went shopping for groceries. Right now, I am going to settle down and take some time to learn.
That is the number 1 thing that I am presently interested in. We need to know the Chinese people in order to minister to them, right? That means learning the language, customs, the way of life for the Taiwanese people.
As I sit here and write this, I am thinking about all the opportunities that I have had to witness to the kids, TAs, and others. And what about all the opportunities in the future? I, as well as the other teachers, covet your prayers.
This is not a one- sided team in Taiwan. No, we could not be here without the prayers of so many Christian brothers and sisters out across the world. You all are part of the Taiwan team. Thank you so much for the prayers, support, and encouragement that you have been.
