Merry Christmas!!!
I am finding it hard to believe that Christmas is only 11 days away, and that it is approaching very rapidly. I am amazed at how fast this semester has gone, in 2 ½ weeks it will be January, wow.
I have kept busy lately doing the normal things, i.e. teaching, eating, sleeping, as well as spending a lot of time Christmas shopping. I’m pleased to say I think I’m about done. This is a good thing, as I need to mail stuff home, soon.
Tomorrow I have classes in the morning, at Tsao Tun Elementary School. It should be a fun day; my teacher will be helping prepare for an English drama this week, so I will have the classes all to myself.
In the afternoon, my team has a class for the teachers that work here at the Ying Pan. We are going to teach about Christmas. It’s always nice to have a holiday to teach about, and it’s usually more fun than other subjects as well.
Then in the evening, we are going to dinner with Morgan Sun and Sandy from King Car, some of the government officials from Nantou, and the Jiji team. We are going to a steak house in Nantou that we have eaten at before, it has good food.
Please keep us in your prayers as we teach, as we prepare for Christmas, as we serve our teachers, school and government officials and King Car, and the people here. Pray that we would really live for Christ, and that we would look to Him for strength. Pray that God would continue to draw us to Him, and through our relationship with Him, use us to minister here.
Wishing you all Merry Christmas,
Chase Hiebsch
