It feels good to be back in Taiwan--and back blogging, for that matter! It's been a while. Well, Josh and I arrived here in Kaohsiung late night Feb. 5th and since then we've been trying to get back into the swing of things. We took our first ride on the MRT, and checked out the new Hanshen Department store by our house. We hopped back on my old scooter and took some rides around town. We ate some traditional Taiwanese food like danbing (not sure how to translate) and goat noodles--yum--and we visited my favorite tea shop. We went to our previous church as well as a new church, and we're having fun meeting old friends and new. The weather is nice and warm during the day and cool during the night--perfect!
For those of you who may not know, we brought some extra special cargo along with us to Taiwan. That's right, I've got a bun in the oven! You can't see it yet but I'm about 4 months pregnant and we're expecting Baby Hong mid July. So excited! We plan to have the baby in Taiwan and stay here long-term. Meanwhile, we are both looking for jobs, and I am trying to get my visa situation ironed out.
Please join us in praying for the following things:
For Josh: to get a job with reasonable hours and decent pay in which he can utilize his talents and glorify God
For me: my visa situation is complicated. I will need to either leave the country and come back with a different visa, get a job, or become a full time student in order to stay. I'm not sure if any of these options will allow me to get health insurance before the baby is born, which is kind of stressing me out, thought it would still be much cheaper than having a baby in the U.S.
For Baby: to grow and develop according to Gods plan and that I would be as healthy as possible and be protected from scooter accidents, H1Ni, etc.
