MCA Elementary Spring Concert

Wade and Hunter both participated in the spring concert this week at Morrison. Hunter played the cello (see picture below). He continues to improve!! Wade sang in the elementary choir and also played the clarinet (see above picture). He also plays the bass clarinet. Both did a fantastic job. Levi and Milly felt the best part was going out for McDonald's ice cream after the program.

ACC ???

Today in my PE class I found a basketball that had the ACC conference logo as well as nine of the ACC schools. This ball must have been made before the expansion. Anyway, I thought it would be a good time to quiz my PE class on what ACC stands for. Did you know out of the 29 kids in my class -- only one -- knew that ACC meant Atlantic Coast Conference. Of course then I had to give a history lesson to my students about the ACC, tobacco road and of course NC State. I am sure they loved it. Today was just another reminder that I am indeed 10,000 miles away from NC.

Church Fellowship

Tonight we had a church fellowship. It was full of fellowship, food, as well as singing. Please continue to pray for our church as we continue to reach out to the surrounding community. In particular, you can pray for James and Paula, Nick and Gloria -- two couples who attended the fellowship but are not yet believers. Thanks for your faithfulness.

Our fellowship sang a few praise and worship songs.


Levi plays UNO with some other children.

Delicious Chinese food along with KFC (we brought that along).

House of Blessing Meets at New Location

House of Blessing -- our church here in Taichung has changed locations. Lately we have had quite a few people come to our services, so we decided to move to a larger facility -- Sz Chang Li Middle School. It is a pretty amazing story of how we were able to rent this middle school. Let's just say it was a God thing. We are hoping the move allows us to reach out to the Sz Chang Li community -- which is just right down the road from Morrison. We are going to give the new location a trial run for 2 months to see if it works out well. Please pray that God will shine through our church so that the Chinese in this area will able to come to know Him. Below are a few pictures of our first Sunday at the new location.

This is Amy and one of her daughters, Annie. The other daughter, Angel, is hiding behind her Mom. Our church is made up of some Morrison teachers' families, some Morrison students as well as some Taiwanese familes.
