First Day

Well, I made it to Taiwan without any big problems, I had a little trouble on the planes. One didn't submit the correct manifest with the FFA so we had to wait around 40 minutes to figure things out before we could take off. In Los Angelos, I met a team of missionaries going to India that were on the same flight as me. They are going alone, so remember to keep them in your prayers!

I got into Taipei yesterday at 6:15 in the morning and we arrived in Fenglin around 1 pm. I ate lunch with a few people that I knew from last year and the family who I am staying with. It was some very amazing food. Around 3 pm I made it to the house and went to take a nap, but I didnt wake up until sunrise this morning! Hopefully, I am completely through with my jet lag and won't be sleeping an entire day again!

Right now, I am in the house that I will be staying in while I am here. I am with a family who were saved while we were here last summer and they were all baptized and they now attend the church here. They are very hospitable. I am in the living room watching the Pink Panther with the kids. It has been a lot of fun, especially since none of the people I am staying with speak English and I don't speak very much Chinese. So far I think that we have been able to communicate with each other, but I always wonder if we are even talking about the same thing!

Here are some things you could pray for:

For the team going to India
That God will provide many people who are hungering for His Word
For Health, I don't want to spend my whole trip sick!
For God to provide me strength, both spiritual and physical

I hope that you're all having a wonderful day! God Bless!
