It's been a full week of many Christmas parties and tellings of the Christmas story. I sit here now enjoying a mint flavored milk tea with tapioca balls, and I decided to share a few pics from the week with you.
First, last Sunday, I joined other Hokkien Harvest missionaries to worship Christ in a public park and share with others at the park the reason for Chrsitmas.
Then, I hosted several Christmas parties in my home!! And one at school.
I also participated yesterday in two other activities that I've made into Christmas traditions. One is eating is "Wa Gua" or "hot pot," which I've written about before.
And the other is eating "Tang Yuan" or "soup cirlcles," which are really just glutinous rice-based balls of gooey goodness.
Tonight, I am participating in one more Christmas activity at a fellow missionaries' apartment complex. I will be playing my erhu (more on that later) and singing. If you are in the States and read this on Saturday morning--it is still not too late to pray for us, so please do. If you live elsewhere in the world--well, I don't know what time Saturday night in Taiwan is for you, but we'd sill appreciate your prayers!! Thanks!!
Merry CHRISTmas Amanda! Looks like Taiwan's Christmas events are plentiful and wonderful! =)
God bless and yes, i'll pray for you to touch lives with the true Message of CHRISTmas.
