Tonight was my first day back to teaching after having 2 weeks off during which I traveled to Japan and China. The trip was really amazing. Some of the highlites include climbing Mt. Fuji, walking on the Great Wall, and riding some camels! Earlier today I struggled with motivation to get back into teacher mode, [...]
This short letter was included in a Newsletter update sent out from our Strategy Coordinators (Mike and Carolyn). I really liked what D shares. I definitely identify with the thoughts and heart behind her words. D serves with her husband as Strategy Coordinators with the Hakka Harvest ministry here in Taiwan. The Hakka number around [...]
Rachel shares how God is working on her heart! Enjoy!
Today was Julie and I’s Chinese teacher’s birthday. The first term (3 months) of Chinese we had 2 different teachers, but then when we started our second term of study we specifically requested only one of those. Not that we didn’t like them both, but we really got along with and really learned better from [...]

This last saturday Julie and I were invited to attend the wedding of a christian Tawainese couple. We were very excited to see what that would look like and to experience the cultural aspect of it. The ceremony was on the smaller side- I would guess about 80 people. It took place in a beautiful, [...]
This past saturday Julie and I had the chance to go on an all day road trip to some nearby mountains about 2 hours away called Mao Lin. The mountains were beautiful, and it was so great to breathe such fresh clean air. There were 11 of us that went along for the adventure(we rented a [...]
As Julie stated in her last post, I have been teaching for about 2 and a half weeks now. Overall, it’s been harder than it has been easier. Thats not to say I haven’t enjoyed it in moments, but I’m pretty sure (at this point anyways), that teaching is not my passion or my greatest [...]
