BBQ

Tonight at the church, we had a BBQ. I think I counted 34..... It was a great time of fellowship and food. I was really happy to see everyone as they walked through the door. And even had a surprise.

Sandy is a teacher at Mei Ho College. One of her students is a boy named Roger. Roger is 19. He was walking out of the church to do something and my sister-in-law was walking in. He immediately recognized her. Later on, Roger is sitting in a pew and I sit to talk to him. He tells me that he was one of my students..... 11 years ago. He even said I am the one who gave him his name. Memories started coming back to me and i could see him as an 8 years old boy in my English class at the Pingtung Baptist Church. Needless to say, I was shocked and glad at the same time. I hugged him and said I was so glad to see him. What a small world. He still goes to church, which I am so happy for.

Thank you, Sandy, for inviting him to come to our church. You don't know how much you have blessed me today. The same goes for you , too, Roger. I hope we never lose contact. May God bless you in your studies and in your walk with him.

Big Boy

Tonight, Daniel is sleeping in his own bed. After his shower, i went to his room because he was playing. I told him that it was time for bed. I thought he was going to go to where mommy was. Instead, he climbed in the bed. I turned on the fan, turned on his little light, kissed him, said "I love You," and turned out the big light.

I just walked by his room.... stopped and stared at him. My heart is overjoyed that he is in my life. He is no longer a little boy; he's a big boy now.

However, he will always be my little boy!

Tony's Wedding

Finally, Becky's brother tied the knot. Last Saturday, in front of a packed church, he said "I do!" not once, but twice. I guess he wanted to make sure that everyone heard him. It was a simple, yet beautiful wedding. Will have pics as soon as I can get my camera back from my niece, who took it to Taipei. Well, she actually got it from Ying Tzu, who had it for the wedding. She got it from Ying Wei, who needed it for some activity. Come to think about it, I haven't used my own camera in a while. I guess that is what family is for.

Oh well......

Congrats Didi. Enjoy your honeymoon in Bali and Malaysia.

Happy Birthday

On June 28, Daniel turned 7. He is daddy's big boy now. I can't believe that he is my son. He has a great heart and is so handsome. As we were talking the night of his birthday, he asked why did I like to celebrate his birthday. I told him that the reason was very simple: It is the day that God blessed me with you.

Happy Birthday, Daniel.

New Apartment

Well, we have moved in...... sort of. We have everything moved and pretty well where we want it. The air conditioners will be installed tomorrow. We have painted some of the rooms. I know mom will be happy to get rid of us. I have stayed the last couple of nights here at the house because it hasn't been to hot.

The apartment is smaller than the old one, but, it feels more comfortable to me and I don't have to walk a long hallway to go to bed. I thank God that he provided people to help us. Pin Yan, a college student at I-Shou, has been here everyday to help us. Thank you so much!
