5:00am, January 15th... A solid 90 minutes of sleep, a (very) rushed final packing, and roll call/passport check (and double check), and we were on our way to the Indy airport. The adventure begins!

After cruising over the ice floes of the North Pole...

...the frozen wastelands of Russia...

...with a brief stop in Tokyo...

...we arrived in Taipei at at 9:47pm, on January 16th. Someone tell me where those twelve unaccounted hours of my life are now located?

First pic in Taiwan! I'm so glad to be world-travelin' with this chica... We are thirteen-hour-long-flight survivors together. #immediatebond


And, since 8 hours of sleep to 76 hours of awake is a terrible ratio, settling into our rooms at the Presbyterian Bible Seminary in Hsinchu, Taiwan was just a beautiful thing.

Pretty inviting, eh? My little home away from home for this week... cozy stuff :)


The peace of Jesus has just reigned in all the chaos and uncertainty of a new place, with new people, speaking a new language... thanks for the prayers, y'all - He's heard 'em!



Zai jian,
