A couple of days ago, somone asked me if Taiwan was like what I expected. I had to think about it before I answered. What did I expect when I came to Taiwan in the first place? What did I not expect when I came to Taiwan? I don't remember what I answered, but here are a few things that I could say, now that I 've thought about it for a couple of days!
When I first came came to Taiwan, I think that the only major expectation that I had was that I would be teaching English, somewhere, sometime, to someone. Because I didn't know that much about what I was getting into, there wasn't really opportunity for greater expectations to build up.
What I didn't expect would almost be a longer list. I never expected that God would ask me to be an English teacher! That was definately not on my list of things that I wanted to do! I also never expected that I would want to stay here another year. God hasn't asked me to do that either. Instead, I will have the opportunity to go home and have more character building experiences at home.
It is now time for me to go to school, so until next time, God bless!
