The Grand Finale

Today was our last day in Taiwan and we tried to “recap” everyone’s favorite things that we have done during the whole trip.   The kids unanimously voted to go swimming in the Jacuzzi tubs and go back to Peace Park to play on the playground.  Scott’s favorite was the food so we made sure to go back to our favorite spots to eat.  The kids learned how to use chopsticks and are very proud of it!!  My favorite was shopping for souvenirs, which we did some in the morning as well!  We had a great final day and are very excited to get back home!

We start our LONG trip back at 6:30 AM to travel an hour to the airport for the 18 hours in the air, flying to Tokyo with a 2 hour lay over, then to Minneapolis with a 6 hour layover and finally arrive in Birmingham at 9:45 PM.

I wanted to take a moment to give thanks to God for our trip.  It has gone so smoothly and I am very aware that this is the answered prayers of many people.  The LORD has been so gracious and merciful to our family and I am humbled to be a part of His perfect plan for our family.  We are so blessed to know Christ personally and we will continue to pray for the country of Taiwan, where we have seen people praying to many different gods in Buddhist temples.  This has been a great learning opportunity for the kids because they hear about people not knowing Christ at church, but now they have witnessed it.  As we start our journey home, our continued prayer is that we can have the LORD’s wisdom and guidance in how to raise our kids to glorify Christ.
