Easter Break

We all had a good Easter break this past week. We stayed here in Taichung, but we did end up taking a couple of day trips. One day we went to the Nine Tribes Aboriginal Park. This consisted of the history of the nine original trips on the island and also an amusement park. It was a lot of fun. The above picture is of the kiddos posing like one of the totem poles.

Morrison Field Day Pictures

A couple of weeks ago Morrison EMS (elementary and middle school) had it's annual field day.

Top picture is of Milly running in a relay race. On the right is Wade showing off his high jump form. The next picture is of Hunter participating in the long jump. The last picture is Levi participating in the softball throw -- although he does not yet attend Morrison.

All the kids did great and enjoyed it!!

a prayer request...

Okay ppls...I don't know how many of you actually read this but for those that do...i have a prayer request. There is this guy in my class that is not a Christian and believes in evolution (this is Milly btw). He and I r really close...I'd say he's one of my best friends. Well, my heart really aches for him as i c him w/out God and all the joy and peace he could have. Please pray that he'll hear the message while it is presented in our school and that i'll be a good example to him. not only that he'd hear it, but that it would penetrate his heart and that he'll understand and believe. it would make me really happy to know that ur praying for him. i love ya'll.
TURTLES RULE~ Milly (sry im not allowed to say his name...so just regard him as a guy in my class while ur praying for him....if u pray for him...plez do tho...)

Hunter turns 8!!!

Hunter had a good birthday today. He had a couple of celebrations -- one in his school and one with his family. The picture below is of Hunter and his second grade teacher -- Mrs. Taylor. He will have his "official" birthday party on Saturday.

Hunter chose to go to McDonald's for supper. After supper he opened his presents from us and his extended family in the States. He loved everything. The picture below is Hunter and one of his presents -- soccer goalie gloves.

You Know It Is A Bad Week....

When you can't leave your house without a mishap happening!!! That is what has happened to Page this week. On Monday, Page and Wade were on the scooter going to the bank. As Page was backing up she forgot the kick stand was down and smashed her big toe. She had to go to the emergency room and she now has no big toe nail -- ouch!!!

Then today as she was driving home from a store a scooter driver pulled out right in front of her and she hit him!!! Thankfully, he is ok -- just a few bumps and bruises.

It certainly has been an interesting week for Page!!!

From the mouths of babes!

The first graders at Morrison Christian Academy had to write a sentence on what they would do if Jesus came to their house. The answers are posted outside the classroom. The words touched my heart, and I wanted to share them with you. I understand why Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:14)

If Jesus came to my house, I would play the piano for Him.

If Jesus came to my house, I would teach Him how to sing and run fast.

If Jesus came to my house, I would teach Him now to read.

If Jesus came to my house, I would tell Him to stay as long as He wishes.

If Jesus came to my house, I would give Him my watch.

If Jesus came to my house, I would whistle for Him.

If Jesus came to my house, I would want Him to live there.

If Jesus came to my house, I would give Him the best thing in my house.

If Jesus came to my house, I would do whatever He wanted me to do.

If Jesus came to my house, I would teach Him how to draw.

If Jesus came to my house, I would give Him a pet dog.

If Jesus came to my house, I would give Him all my best jewelry ("julry").

If Jesus came to my house, I would play piano for Him.

If Jesus came to my house, I would let Him eat my food all up.

If Jesus came to my houes, I would give Him some hand lotion ("loshin").

Milly in MS Play!!!

Milly recently had a part in the middle school play. The play was funny and entertaining. All the students did great and Milly played her part as a prissy student very well. Below are some pictures that were taken after the production. The top picture is of the actors and actresses bowing as they receive an ovation for their great acting ability. The middle picture is of the entire cast while the last picture is of Milly and her proud brother, Wade.

Taiwan Churches vs. Temples

Even though statistics tell us there are only 3 to 5% Christians in Taiwan there are several Christian churches here, like the one pictured below. The building on the left says, "Jesus is Lord" while the building on the right says, "God loves the people of the world".

However, there are many more temples than churches here in Taiwan, like the one pictured below with Milly and a few of her classmates standing in front. There are temples like this on literally every street corner. The temples are usually either Daoist, Buddhist or a combination of both.

Please join us in praying that the people of Taiwan will understand and see that there is one true God, and that He loves them and sent his Son, Jesus, to this earth to die for their sins so they could have a relationship with Him. Thanks.
