Check out an extended entry from Sep 5th.
Please make note that there are now two separate posts on this day.
Team Update 52
I volunteered for today's update. I am not sure why, but I did, so here it goes.
This week has been really good for me. I have been able to move back
into the same place that I lived last semester. I was also able to start teaching this week.
I know two of my schools pretty well, and the other two I have visited both and know at least one person at the school. The teachers that I am working with are all very good. At one of my schools, the Principal and his wife are Christians and are always very kind to us.
The teacher that I worked with today is one of my friends here in Taiwan. He is very creative and is allowing me to be creative in what we are teaching. We only have written curriculum for one of our five classes. That means that we will probably either find curriculum or will write our own.
The highlight of the day was going to McDonald's for dinner. Well, maybe it was not the highlight but it was nice to enjoy something close to an American meal. We had (Chinese) Italian last night and that was pretty good, but what we go through to get McDonald's is always interesting to see.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we adjust to life in Taiwan. Three of our team members here in JiJi have not started teaching this week, so please pray for them as they start next week. Please pray for us as we build friendships with our teachers and with students. Pray that the Lord would give us a chance to share the Gospel with them.
God Bless,
Holly Polson
