Hi from my side of the world.

This is just a short update to say that I'm still alive & doing wonderful. :)

Everything at school has been good & continues to keep me on my toes.

It seems as though my schedule now is as busy as it's been since I moved here because there is so much I'm fitting in before I move back. Only five more weeks until I'll be on a plane bound for Texas. It seems so surreal. It's so exciting & yet I know I'm going to miss Taiwan & everyone here more than words can say. I can already see myself at strange Asian markets looking for strange food & walking up to random Asians to ask them if they can speak Chinese to me. :) I'm savoring every minute of these last five weeks I have here & looking forward to the next season of life in America. God has been so good to keep my heart focusing here & yet expectant of what He has next for me. I've felt so blessed & content.

And every time I picture myself walking out of security at the airport & seeing the faces of my family - I can't help but smile. As if my heart wasn't fond enough, a year has definitely made it all the more fond of them. :)

Saphrin came back to Taiwan to see her students from last semester & to visit my roommates & I. I'm loving having her here! We all are. 

I'll write more soon! :) God has & continues to amaze me with how He is working. He is so good & so powerful!!

If you think about it, please pray that I finish strong. That I look back & see the last month I was here in Taiwan as being the month that I poured the most into every single kid, made the most of every situation, pursued the people God has put in my life here & saw even the hard things from God's perspective. That's my prayer for these next five weeks.

God bless.
