Here in Hualien we have been given a unique opportunity this semester. One of our classes is actually a meeting with English teachers from all over the county where we work on projects to improve English in Hualien. Our latest project is writing a book about Hualien that is simple enough for students to read, but which would enable them to be able to tell visitors about their homeland. It is a good idea, but one that will definitely involve work on all our parts in order to pull it off. For the Taiwanese English teachers it is just one more task added to their already full schedules, but for those of us on the team here it is a unique opportunity to research, and learn more about the area around us. The biggest problem I’m having so far is that of getting distracted as I come across interesting information that have nothing to do with the subject I’m supposed to be researching.
Please pray for us as we work on this project. That we will be able to do our best and that we would be a living testimony of Christ to those we work with.
May the word of God dwell in you richly by faith and may you, “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18
