Thursday Night Fellowship

We just finished doing a Thursday night fellowship activity. It went really well. We sang 5 songs: This is the Day, Peace Like a River, Behold What Manner of Love, We are One in the Spirit, He Hung Upon the cross.


Song Time

After Song Time we had a short message. For the message we read a Bible Story, and the kids helped to tell it. They had an action for each time certain words were said. So when ever I said "Jesus" they had to point up to heaven and say "Christ the Lord!" Any time waves was said, they had to make wave motions with their arms. And there were 4 other actions. Then I read the story of Jesus calming the storm. It was a lot of fun, and the kids liked it. At the end, we said that just like Jesus was in control with the disciples and the storm, he will also be with you during life's storm.

After the message we played games. The Senior High students had an acting game where they had to make various kids of household machines. They had to act like it, but could not speak. The junior high students played balloon volleyball. Both groups had a lot of fun.


Balloon Volleyball


To end the evening we had snacks and pray time. I must say that this group is becoming one of the highlights of my time here in Taiwan. We have only met 3 times, but it has been such a great chance to have fun with the students, and to get to know them better outside of the classroom. I pray that God would use this group to help bring people closer to him.

Until later!

On Break

Alright everybody, I am currently on and have done a little bit of traveling, and will continue to do a little bit more. After the first week of relaxing at home, I went to Seoul, South Korea. It was a good time, and I had some pictures, however I have been unable to access them at the moment. So I am going to wait to tell about my trip until I can have some pictures to accompany the post. Tomorrow I will leave for Thailand, and that will be the last of my travels for break.

For this post, I would like to include a picture of me and my scooter. I bought it in early December, and have enjoyed riding it. Last week, during break, I went to the motor vehicle place and got my liscense. I had to take a computer test and a driving test. The computer test was not too dificult. On the driving test, the hardest part is driving in a straight line. For the test, you need to drive on a 10-20 foot straight line for at least 7 seconds. The line is between 1-2 feet wide, and there are sensors on the sides that trigger buzzers if you go off of the line. This is to simulate the need to drive straight when you have many scooters surrouning you in traffic. With some practice, I was able to pass this test on the first try as well.

Ok, I will write more after my travels.
