She’ll be comin’ around the mountain when she comes…
Grandma Vicki made the investment to come out to visit in Taiwan and we had a great time from start to finish…

Holidays ‘07/08
For Christmas and New Year’s break, we were able to spend one week in Thailand with friends from Taiwan and one week in the states with friends and family there. Suffice to say, the days were full and nights were slept soundly.
We rented motorcycles in Thailand for a couple of days and drove them around in the country.

Busy days
When we got back to Taiwan last fall, we arrived to a typhoon. After staying for a bit at the grand hotel, we moved to the south part of Taipei into a temporary apartment while our “long term” apartment’s renovations were being finished.

Taiwan September 2007
We really want to be able to use this site as a tool to get out to you all what we are up to and what God is showing us in our lives. Our goal is to do a better job this round. Thank you so much for your patience and support!!
Ephesians 3:19
Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God
We are back in Taiwan and the stark difference between the U.S. and here is always very bright when we first arrive. Not only do the smells, architecture, and temperature remind us where we are, but the reality of the depth in religious belief.

Camera charger
Of all things to leave in the states, we left our camera charger there. So, sorry about the lack of photos of Taiwan. Our radical friends Paul and Trilby are sending us the charger soon though, so expect to see some pictures up soon.
In other news: we had an open house at the apartment tonight - tons of friends and acquaintances honored us by stopping by and spending time to catch up etc… We’ll be here for such a short time this go around, so we value every interaction and event that we are part of.
Speaking of events - I got to play a soccer game today and just had a great time. A friend Doug has a team he invited me to play for - we have a tournament next weekend in Kaosiung - 18 teams from around the island play.

Switched to wordpress blog
I switched the blogging engine from Typo to wordpress because of better information/data entry capabilities as well as a nicer control panel.
I tried to copy the past posts over (fortunately there weren’t that many), so hopefully I didn’t lose anything.

Testing pictures in post
OK - I think I have it figured out how to add pics to a post. A picture of Lana and I driving…
I think if you click on it you will get the full size image.
In Taiwan
Quick post to let everyone know we made it to Taiwan safe and sound. We are setup in a great apartment that has room for Hans’ office, rooms for the kids and a great living room that could host a Bible study or alpha course.
The kids are amped about being here - the first day after we got here, Malachi said “ok, I think I’d like to live here now.” The community of local and expat believers have truly been family to us - with their welcoming smiles and consistent desire to help us get settled in - thanks all!
One of the things that both Lana and I have remarked about after one week here is that everyone we have talked to from overseas (wai guo de) is here on faith - they felt that God had them come here and are following His lead in their daily life to understand the further revelation of His will for their lives.
Now, just to get some sleep :-).
