Erich and Kelley are the friends who helped us get settled in Taiwan (which included letting us live with them, helping us find an apartment/jobs/food/Chinese teacher/friends...pretty much everything!) Robin was one of our first Taiwanese friends, and we love his sense of humor.
Erich and Kelley are also our G12 cell group leaders. Our church has 3000 members, so this is a simple explanation of the authority structure:
Head pastors --> Zone pastors (shepherd 12 main cell leaders) --> G12 Cell Leaders (shepherd 12 cell leaders) --> Cell Leaders (shepherd 5-12 cell members) --> Cell Group Members
Kalan, Robin, and I are cell leaders, so from time to time we meet with Erich and Kelley to share, pray, and cast vision for the upcoming season.
This month we went to a nearby beach and enjoyed some fresh seafood as part of our retreat.
^selecting our fish...yum!
^fresh squid...I must say, it's really grown on me during our time in Taiwan!
We ended the day with a trip to an orphanage in Luodong, where we had an opportunity to help care for some babies. It was an awesome day...we are so thankful for these friends and the ways we get to serve and grow together.
