Wade's Final Soccer Tourney

Wade has been enjoying playing soccer this year. He starts at sweeper for the JV-B team. The team played an end of your tournament this past Saturday in Kaohshiung. The team played in the championship game but lost 2-0. It was a fun season but now Wade is focusing on basketball which starts next week.

Global Leadership Summit

Keith attended the Global Leadership Summit (see his name tag above) in Taipei this past week. He had a great time. It was held at a church. The speakers all spoke in English and then there were subtitles in Chinese. It was a great line up of speakers: Bill Hybels, Jim Collins (Good to Great), and Andy Stanley. Although the speakers were great, the coolest part was to witness 500+ Taiwanese praising God in song before the sessions began. Quite uplifting.

Still Here!!

Sorry for the lack of posting lately. We are doing fine and will look to post pictures of Wade's soccer tournament this weekend.

Family Picture!!

Here is our latest family picture. It was taken at Green Island right before we were going snorkeling.

Back from Green Island!!

We made it back from Green Island. We had a great time -- although the weather was very rainy most of the time. The highlights included motor scootering around the whole island, great snorkeling, and enjoying salt water hot springs (one of only three in the world).

Going to Green Island!!

This week is fall break for Morrison Academy. We decided to take a few days off and go to a tiny island off the east coast of Taiwan -- called Green Island (See map above). We have heard that there is great snorkeling, exploring, etc. on this island. Also, you can ride a motor scooter around the island in 20 minutes. We leave on Tuesday and will return on Friday. We will take a 5 hour train ride and then a 45 minute boat ride to get there. For your reference we live in central Taiwan on the west coast -- near what the map says is Changhua. We will post pictures once we get back.

Shopping in Taiwan

We love living in Taiwan. However, it can be frustrating at times. Like today when Keith went out to buy shampoo (a certain brand that Page likes) and milk. We have two grocery stores near our house so Keith went out by foot to get these simple items. The first store did not have any milk and only had conditioner -- no shampoo. The second store did not have the shampoo either and only had whole milk!! Upon hearing this Page responded by saying, "Welcome to my world!!"
