I really feel thankful for the past 3.5 years here in Asia. We haven’t had any MAJOR sickness or injuries. That’s definitely the Father’s hand of protecting and blessing for sure! Here we are, getting ready to head back to the States for the summer, and we have had more health problems than I remember […]
One of Colt’s classmate’s parents own a kids photography business. They had asked a while back (like last year) about taking pics of the kids to “give them practice for their western style.” I really had no interest because our kids don’t sit still for long periods of time, and she was talking about it […]
Here are some pics that some friends took of our city within this past month. It’s rainy season. The pictures are truly beautiful, but it.is.so.wet.
David had the idea. He calls this meal “hobos.” I’m not even sure how you spell that, because I had never heard of them before. We each made our own – just meat and bunch of different veggies. We went to our favorite camping/climbing spot and played while they cooked for about 30 minutes. Of […]

They will clean them up, place flowers, and also leave food, wine, and/or fruit for the deceased. Another interesting activity is burning incense as well as paper items (money, cars, houses, clothing) for the beloved to […]
During our free day in Taipei we decided to visit one of the famous tourist spots – Taipei 101. It’s the tallest building in the city and has (or did at some point anyways) the fastest elevator. Our ears were popping as we flew up the 89 floors in a matter of seconds! The view […]
Last week we had a required training in Taipei, Taiwan. We learned lots, and it was refreshing to my soul! At the end of that week we had 2 days to get LOTS of medical done in preparation for returning to the States this summer – full physicals, blood work, immunizations, eye appointments, etc (for […]
We took some friends to climb the mountain across from our home and were fascinated by these lovely ladies. They are from the minority group called Bai (pronounced BYE).
