A Day at the Beach

As Kalan mentioned earlier, last Saturday we went the beach with Ben and Beth. It was a refreshing day for all of us.





Also, last week, we received our first package from our Green Bay family! I was SO excited when it arrived!



Contents included popcorn, rice cakes, and coffee nips (some favorites I had been missing), a sun dress I had forgotten at home, pictures of our families and friends, letters from both my sisters, and some plastic forks (which really made us laugh, and actually have been quite useful!) It was packed in a nice black and white box that I am using for storage. Thanks Dad, Mom, Natalie, and Grace!



As I type this, I can hear Kalan in the other room trying to catch our newest pet...a little lizard that has found his way into our bedroom. The other day, one also jumped out of my bicycle basket as I was riding. They are really small and rather cute.

This coming weekend, we are going on a missionary retreat with some other foreign workers as well as Taiwanese believers. The purpose of the retreat is to learn more about Taiwanese culture and increase unity among the foreigners and Taiwanese people in our church. I am really looking forward to it. More stories and pictures to come!
