Fools for the Lord

We met as a big group for the last time today before dispersing to our host homes.
The Taiwan Covenant Church welcomed us, led us in worship and gave us a few pointers on Taiwan culture.
Then we had a lesson in the Chinese language. Lai li and Ma ri si are our new names. Wo shi Ma ri si.
Ask Larry for a demonstration of his Chinese - he replied in Japanese!
It was a fun time of practicing and putting ourselves in the place of our students.
We had lunch with our church representatives and met Cole from Idaho and a family from Washington, DC.
All of them will be at the same church as Laura, Larry and I. It is a big group. Cole and Marlys are doing
music. Larry and George are doing games (in a room half as small as one of our classrooms). George's wife
and daughter will do the story. We are looking forward to this new adventure. Laura and Bob are doing cooking.

Today our team met at the church to dress up and help advertise the camp. Larry was a crab. Laura
was a lobster. Bob and the others had a mask and Marlys had a queen's crown. Cole didn't dress up.
Tonight we joined one of the families from church at a very nice restaurant and had a wonderful time
around the table.
We are in our air conditioned room in Winni's house. The family is out but we are comfortable and getting
ready to go to bed. It is almost 10.
We are looking forward to church tomorrow. The church is Kung Ho and is on the 7th floor of a big building.
God's blessings on our family and friends.
Marlys & Larry
