Day two of our Taiwan expedition has been inked and logged into the history books. It is truly amazing what can be done in one day—causing one to ponder what we actually accomplish on any other given 'normal' day simply plucked from our lives when we're not full participants in an international tour. Perhaps we could do more with the gifts and talents the Lord has given and entrusted to our care. Speaking of talents, the Concert Choir held their first major performance of the 2010 tour in Kaohsiung this evening. Support from the local members was evident in their attendance to the show. It was especially noted that many sacrificed a great deal to be in attendance on this odd Tuesday show time. Following the show, many, many people stayed so they could visit with the Choir—some of which had shared an evening together as part of FHE exchanges with local member families. Another great opportunity to strengthen and be strengthen.
One key highlight of today was a visit to Chishan Elementary School where, after a warm greeting by the school's administrators, we were taken in small groups to classes where we interacted with the students by reading them stories, playing games, and just being with them and bringing smiles to their faces. Seeing their faces light up as they run up to you is one if the memories that will be retained as part of the record of this expedition.
All in all, Day 2 was a success. Food was good. Show was good. And I'm confident that the sleep that now awaits me will be good, too!
