LOVE!
Sounds like the perfect theme for the last couple of days. An adventure it was, heading out to the northern part of the Island to visit the capital city - Taipei. 250-ish Taiwanese people of the Concordia Middle School staff and 15 foreigners - joined in love! Building love with one another, and needing love - to be patient and understanding! I'll tell ya, it takes a lot of patience in trying to understand a travel itinerary spelled out in Chinese characters! I can pretty much say, I never knew what was happening next, or what to expect....but to just take it all in stride with an open heart of love! And that, we did - and had a blast...
You might say, we'd been engulfed in Taiwanamania!
But, did this ever lead to a greater love for Taipei, and the new parts of the country!! You name it, we saw it, and fell in love with it - from the most obvious, to the most random:

Taipei 101, the world's tallest building
A small mountain village (sounds like: Jeo Fahn) filled with food, clothes, random items!
The ocean side view from our hotel and mountainous land were great, a true reminder of our Creator's greatness! 
Everyday is a continual reminder of the many blessings I've been given, and what a blessing it is to share God's Love throughout all the experiences I have here in Taiwan - in travel, or in teaching!

Jenny - sounds like an amazing time. I'm jealous, and can't wait to visit at Christmas!
Wow!!
The sights look awesome! This is a time of your life that I'm sure you'll remember forever. I agree with David - I'm jealous! But, I'm even more jealous that they all get to go see you!! I'll just have to wait til Firefly next summer. Did you hear that we got a camper?! :) It's one of those situations where I was reminded how much God cares about all the details.
I love reading your blog. I check it everyday to see what you might be doing.
Love,
Carol Sue
