Some Great News!!!!
This is the final results- what a well groomed family! The barber asked us to take her picture too.





Matt is recovering from the loss of his manliness. Jake is a "little" nervous about the straight razor.








Rachel's stylish hair do


We are happy to report that we have accepted an offer on our home, PRAISE GOD! We are so blessed to be relieved of this concern. Our closing is set for September 22nd and then we will be poised and ready to focus our complete attention on life in Taiwan. Thank you so much for all your prayers and also thanks to our West Morris Street friends for faithfully cutting the grass. I am sure it made a big difference in the home's presentation.

I am also including a few pictures above (please forgive thier placement I have not yet mastered these technicalities) from our first visit to the barber/beauty shop in Taiwan. Our Chinese teacher graciously agreed to accompany us overcoming the language barrier. Unfortunately she had to leave early before we unsuccessfully tried to convince the barber NOT to cut Matt's beard off. She was very determined. Rachel also got her hair washed and styled, Taiwanese style, great fun. In the future we might try to do the cuts at home but it was a neat experience.
