Goodbye to my sweet students

I have been teaching a free adult class for parents of students at my school. We learn songs and study Let's Talk in English magazine. I also have the chance to share with them about my relationship with Jesus and my faith, so it's very fulfilling. They very sweetly took me out to Thai food as a goodbye dinner--yum yum! My favorite! I will really miss all of them! Thank you for the dinner if you are reading this message.

This is Ian and his daughter, Annie. Ian has shown a lot of interest in the gospel. Please pray for him as he suffers from chronic back and joint pain--pray that God would heal him and give him freedom from this. Also pray for him and his family, that their faith will grow!



More lovely students!

Dragon Boat Festivities!

I took a trip to the east coast of Taiwan for my four day holiday. I travelled to Taidong to meet up with my old roommate, Rebecca. Here's Rebecca and her roommate, Faith enjoying "pao pao bing"--mango milk ice--Yummy!

Oh joy of joys

Beth joined us later in the afternoon and we had dinnner at Pasadena's, a cool Southwestern style restaurant

The next day we headed to the beach. To our amazement Faith and Rebecca got right to work survivor style building a shelter. Beth and I thought we might have to stay the night on the beach!

Hanging out with Jesus on the beach

"I wish they all could be California girls"--or Taidong girls

At night we went up the hill to this cool place where you sit in a hut and eat a whole chicken with your hands--plastic gloves provided. We also had an amazing view of the lightening storms in Taidong

Ready to dig in
