A flood of feeling overwhelm me as I sit down to write this update, This will be my last update here in Jiji, and then I will be off to Summer English camp. As of today I have been living here in Jiji for nine months. I will never forget the feelings that I had as we pulled up here to this house that early Tuesday morning on September 6th. We had flown the whole day before, and when we arrived it was two O’clock in the morning. I was half tired, and half excited. I could not have imaged that this year would fly by so fast, and that it would have so many life lessons for me to treasure.
A since of sadness floods me as I think about leaving these people, and this place that I have grown to love so much. As I watch my 6th graders play basketball and hear them talk to me in class I see how much that they have learned. As I look at my first, and second graders, and see how tall they have grown, I smile at how they have became a part of my life, and how I love them. My kids have become so dear to me they make me laugh, and they are a part of my heart. I thank God for allowing me to come to Taiwan and for change that has taken place in my life here. My life in Taiwan is amazing.
Yet there is a hunger deep with in me to be with my family, and to minister to them. I don’t think that leaving Taiwan would be easy for me except that I know that home is where God has called me to next. I am glad that God showed me that home is where he has next for me.
