Camps

Summer in Taiwan is probably the hottest time of year and hottest place in the world it feels like, especially since there is no air conditioning in the schools and we can only turn our air conditioning on in our dorms for 4 hours a day!! It is pretty ridiculous! I also got my boss to agree with me when she came to visit, now I am the hero in the office because they will have air conditioning installed in the office for next year. However, I will not be here, but I am happy for them. So besides it being EXTREMELY HOT, I am teaching camps. I co-teach two lessons a day about the character qualities determination and confidence, unless it is an office day. I also help out cleaning the school since the students only come for a day. I also serve lunch to the kids, it is kinda weird doing the jobs my students do at my schools. Camps are pretty fun, but most of the time they are just hot. I only have 5 more days of classes before I head home which makes me anxious every time I think about it. I can't wait to see my family, my boyfriend and all my friends, plus my brother is getting married which is really exciting news!
On a more serious note please be praying for the people in Taiwan, so many of them are unsaved, but believed they are saved by a different god. It is terrible to think about and I think about it on a daily basis because there are temples EVERYWHERE! The people need the Lord! Please pray that we will be able to shine the glory of the Lord into their lives and that we will be able to stand strong as witnesses of the Lord. Isaiah 43:10 "“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me."

First Graders

It's amazing how well God knows my heart and how I feel, because every time I am having a rough day He sends one or a few first graders over with big hugs! My first graders are amazing students very attentive and eager to learn, but apparently not all teachers have that privilege with them. One of the first grade teachers was just fired! I couldn't believe it because they are so good for me every time I teach. However, my heart goes out to her because I know that teaching first grade is no easy task  "The soul is healed by being with children." - Fyodor

How to beat the heat in a Taiwan summer is eating a lot of shaved ice! It is so delicious and refreshing no matter how it is prepared. However, fresh mango is my favorite.

Put Your Phone Down!

Recently, I have just been so annoyed by people constantly being on their phones. I have never been so thankful that my father made the rule "no phones at the table."  When you are with your friends or family, you should "be with them." That doesn't mean talking to someone on snapchat or messenger, while you are with them. Just put the phone down and give them your undivided attention. How I feel when someone is on their phone at the dinner table or on a date is that I am not interesting or entertaining enough for them. If my phone is down and we are talking and you pick yours up to reply to a message or snap, what am I suppose to do while you play on your phone? We should all just put our phones down and be at the table talking to our friends or family, instead of sitting at a table just playing on our phones. Funny story: the other night at the night market there was a father and a son walking past me. The father was doing something on his phone, and his son s...
