Quick recap

As I sit down to write this letter I am amazed to think that I have been here for one month. There are two ways in which I mean that. One is that I am amazed that only one month has passed; in the four weeks I have been here I have rented an apartment, found and started working at a job, bought a scooter, and done a host of small daily tasks. One day I was wondering why it was taking so long to get some paperwork done so that I can get my residence permit, then I realized that the paperwork was not taking long, it was just that everything else was going so fast.

On the other side of the coin I am also surprised that it has been a month since I arrived. With how busy I have been the time has just flew by. All the adventure I faced on my way to get here are still fresh on my mind. From my impromptu garage sale at the church, to heading down to Texas and having my car break down on me, spending time with my family my, and a long and safe travel from Texas to Taiwan. Hey that last part rhymed, maybe there is a rhyme and reason why I am here.

I look back over the last month, two months, even six months, even the last couple of years and I am amazed how so many things just worked and pushed me in this direction, and I can only praise God for His goodness. Even though not all things are like I expected, I can see that I have been placed here for a reason. While I have my own opinion and ideas why I am here I have a feeling that I may only know the tip of the iceberg of why I have come to this corner of the world.

Sorry I don't have any pictures this time, but I am still without a digital camera, and I have been a bit preoccupied to look for one.

As usual blessings and I pray that the God of our fathers' be with you and keep you
