In our last entry Matt reported that the container arrived. We are so glad to have our things with us. It sounds so silly but I didn't expect to be comforted by the arrival of my own stuff, kind of scary. At this point we will take whatever kind of comfort we can get, even if it is material.
As the truck pulled up to deliver our things in the rain, our faithful new friends lined up to help us unload. You can imagine what an encouragement it was for us to have that kind of support. We have been on the receiving end of so much help throughout this experience. I couldn't help but remember loading the truck with our dear friends in Indiana while unloading it with new friends in Taiwan. We only had two hours to unload but we got it done. Our neighbors upstairs ordered pizza for the whole lot of us. What a treat especially for the kids.
Sunday morning we went back to the Feng Shan Chinese Church. A group was visiting thier from Indianapolis
Most of the weekend was spent unpacking and assembling things. We are thrilled to report that our TV made it all the way to Taiwan in working order. We attribute this victory to the fine packing skills of Doug Bradburn and Dave Fryman, thanks guys.

Hey guys, glad to hear that you are settling in. You've done a nice job with the blog. I'm going to put a link to it on my site at www.joelandjanette.typepad.com/joel_in_the_city (although that will get you basically no traffic!). May our Lord bless and keep you, Joel
