To Taiwan and More

Time has seemed to zoom by since we left the great state of Texas and moved here to Taiwan!  These past 2 months have held a lot of highs and lows for our family!   In all of it God has been faithful to show His grace and mercy!  We are truly blessed to be here in Taiwan!  Here is a picture journey of our time since we left!

Our day at the beach( God blessed us with an AMAZING sunset)

We have been so thankful for the opportunities that God has given us to share the Gospel with those around us!  We spend a lot of our days learning the language in class and also by doing individual study (or just by stepping out of our front door).  With the broken language that we do have, the Lord allowed us to pray over our buddist neighbor who is in a wheelchair and struggles with some sort of kidney problem.  She has a port in her chest for medication to be administered.  Every night her husband wheels her out to the courtyard of our apartment complex.  After having a very broken conversation one night we asked if we could pray for her in Jesus Name.  She agreed and we prayed a very simple prayer for Jesus to heal her.  She was grateful and agreed that Jesus was good.  The next night she excitedly stopped us as we were walking through the courtyard to tell us that she had slept through the night.  This is something that had not happened for her in a very long time!  She was very excited and kept thanking us for praying.  We kept telling her it was Jesus that did it!  Since then her daughter has also stopped to thank us for praying for her mother.  This family does not know Jesus but they now know that there is power in His Name.  They also do not know English.  I loved seeing the Lord work through our biggest weakness to bring Him the greatest glory!  When we are weak HE is strong!  We are even more encouraged to learn the language here well so that we can connect more and more with this culture and share the Good News!
