Hi everyone! All of the babies are doing well and currently napping. Today, we are celebrating Anna's birthday! In case some of you may have forgotten, she is the Skiles trusted friend and co-worker. She came to Taiwan to help when she was in her twenties and never went home. That's not completely true. She has been home many times, but has been living here, taking care of all money issues and being the second mom to the older kids now for thirty some years. She is so wonderful and I'm so happy to be here to wish her a happy birthday. Someone gave her pizza for her birthday that she's been generous to share, and later we will get to have Jell-o cake (a white cake you poke holes in and fill with jell-o)!
Since, Meredith has come I have been in much better spirits about working long hours. I don't know what the switch was, but she seems to help make the long hours of taking care of babies seem more fun. She is so good about keeping the focus on loving the babies all day long. And since she spent the last two years in Spain, the babies are now singing fun songs in Spanish as well as English and Chinese. Our babies are so smart! :)
My parents and brother arrive this Friday! I'm so excited to go and pick them up at the airport! Hopefully, they'll love it here as much as I do!
Prayer requests:
- I've been thinking about extending my stay here for another six months. There are many pros and cons to going in home in March and to staying for awhile longer. Please pray for clarity, guidance, trust and obedience.
- Safe travels for my family, and that time with them would be rejuvenating and joy-filled!
- Blessing for Show Hwa and her family. I just love her a lot!
- Safety and protection over the older kids as they will be going home to spend some time with their parents or relatives over Chinese New Year.
- For God to move the hearts of Baby Chi's birth parents.
- Shing Yu's adjustment to her new family and for strength, patience, and comfort for her adoptive parents.
- Freedom from oppression and God's healing and salvation for the older girl here as well as Bev's granddaughter.
- For God to show me His son and His salvation for me.
Thanks, everyone! Love and miss you all!
