Reunions

I know, I know. I keep saying it, but I can't help myself.

Our trip was filled with some really wonderful people. We spent a lot of our time visiting mission companions and dear friends made on Mister's mission.

We said goodbye to the Lee's and headed out for a day of fun in the city!

We had a delicious lunch with Mark Wu and the Zhang family, then we headed to the park with Wayne Zhang, his cute wife, and their new baby!

This adorable new friend helped Miss A on the slides. When we were heading out, he told us we better come back later. If only we could!

That night we paid a visit to another good friend. We enjoyed walking around a mall and trying some of our favorite foods--especially dong gua cha!

Harry Zhuo and the family.

We took the high speed rail to Zhu Bei so we could attend church in that area the next morning. We walked around looking for a hotel. Finally finding one, we had to wait until 10:40pm before it would be ready.

We took advantage and found a place that made Mango Ice!

Poor brother was not quite as excited for this delicious treat as we were!

When we got back to the hotel they were still not ready. We got out poor children ready for bed in the lobby and finally made it to our room.

On Sunday we made the trek to church! It was my first experience being at a church meeting in a different language! The LDS missionaries recognized we were visitors and volunteered to translate for us. How nice! As one Elder was brand new to Taiwan and the other a native of Taiwan, Mister took on the role of translator. :)

My favorite part of church was nursery. This is the church class for 2 and 3 year-olds. Let me tell you, I was amazed. The amazing teacher was a young mother who had the children enthralled in her teaching. They were raising their hands, singing songs, and feeling God's love for them. It was a blessing to be with her as she made sure to translate everything for Miss A. I learned so much from this fantastic woman in just 2 short hours!

Angus joined the church while Mister was a missionary. It was great to see him!

After church we had some other wonderful visitors!

One of Mister's companions, Huang De Kai, came to our hotel room for a visit. He brought the BEST T-shirts ever as gifts.

We had tried stopping by to see Xu Xin Fu and Xu Ting on our way home from church. When they heard of our visit, they made the trip out to see us! We loved visiting with this brother and sister!
