Before I left, I asked the Lord to give me a verse for my time in Taiwan. Last night, the Lord showed it to me:
There are three things in this verse for me:
1, God is faithful. He will give me the strength and grace I need for every situation that comes.
2, By Whom ye were called. God called me to serve Him and to walk with Him here in Taiwan.
3, Fellowship. God wants me to have unity with my team; to know them and to love them.
I am so grateful to God to have this promise and guidance for this year. This verse is a reference point, to remind me that God called me here to Taiwan and He has a purpose for me being here. Praise the Lord for His goodness.
Now, for a quick update:
"God is faithful,
by whom ye were called
unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord."
1 Corinthians 1:9
by whom ye were called
unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord."

Well, I do not know whether to start you on my flight to Taiwan or upon my arrival. My flight was eventful as I got stopped and searched at both security check-points, my baggage also got checked (the contents dumped, jumbled, and tossed back in the duffel bag), I was given the wrong boarding pass, etc. However, I did meet a nice lady from Taiwan who left me her number and e-mail to contact her later, praise the Lord. In all, I travelled for about 24 hours before arriving at Taipei, Taiwan, at 9:45pm (7:45am Chicago time).
My first day here in Taiwan was filled with team orientation, get-to-know-you activities, and a class in Chinese. The team the Lord put together in Yunlin is amazing! Already we have bonded and have a great one-accord spirit, and it is only day one! Thank you Lord for answering prayers. I am on a team that teaches English at a Character English camp. Though we get to back-up the character being taught in Chinese, we are teaching English separately. There are two other girls on my team, Bethany Jo and Susanna. Both of them love the Lord, have wonderful attitudes, and are very mature. It will be a joy to work with them. We also have another team (Jai?) which will be with our team for 4 weeks for training. Today, we enjoyed a photo treasure hunt, a trip to the zoo, worship, and a time of prayer and blessing together. It was a beautiful day, though I must say, I AM looking forward to a bed tonight.
