Dear all...
Deepest apologies for the length of time (again!) between posts. In the past few weeks I have said good-bye to my precious students, teachers, friends at church in Chiayi, friends in Chiayi, packed, cleaned, completed one summer camp and am near the beginning of a second summer English camp in Hsinchu.
These past few weeks have been really special. My students and co-teachers overwhelmed me with gifts and notes and I had many good evenings together with friends that I had made in Chiayi. I hope to see them again someday!!
Last week we traveled up to a small school somewhere in the mountains of northern Taiwan to teach an English camp to a group of aboriginal Taiwanese children. This was definitely a highlight of my time in Taiwan, as I witnessed the need, the love, and the specialness of these children. Although challenging to teach (at times) they really found a special place in my heart. So hard to leave....
Now I am in the city of Hsinchu, teaching with nearly all the rest of the Taiwan English teachers (with King Car/IBLP). This is a large camp with pretty high-level English speaking children and so far it is going really well. I'm really enjoying the fellowship with other teachers and hearing them share of God's faithfulness to them over the past year. He is SO good!! My heart just rejoices in His love towards me!!
It is just a few days until I head back to Canada! I'm so excited to come home and be with my family again and embark on the new adventure God has for me, but sad to say good-bye (for now) to Taiwan. There's a part of me that will always be here. Praise the Lord for His grace that sees us through!!
Love,
Christy
