I will miss you :(

Today is my last day in Pingtung Taiwan and my last day with my team. It's really sad to think that I've been living here for a year and now I'm might never see it again. I'll definitely miss Chaozhou. The people are so nice and friendly and  it's so beautiful. I'll miss my team a lot. We had a great year and all of us have awesome memories.
Even though some times were really hard and we didn't like being here and wanted to go home we all stuck it out and made it to the end. Taiwan has been so amazing. I really can't express how awesome it is or how much I've enjoyed living here.

My team was a huge part in my experience in Taiwan. Without them I don't think I could of done it. Each one of them are special in their own way and they are amazing people. I've loved (almost) every moment that I've got to spend with them, from team meetings and team fellowships, to teaching and more teaching, to dinners with the schools and friends, to our days off and trips to the unknown. They are all awesome people and awesome Christians. I wish I could describe them to you but it's kinda hard because they're so crazy. Just know that they are all super special to me and I have some of the best memories with them.
On Sunday we took our last official team photos. All of our team photos have had an awesome theme to them so our last ones couldn't break the trend. When my sister was here she gave us these really finger-staches. It's a mustache tatoo for your finger......

I'm pretty sure that we all decided these were our favorite photos we've taken. All of our personalities really come out in the picture right up above.
She also brought us matching rings so we used those to create awesomeness as well.

Dear Pingtung Team 2011-2012 I WILL MISS YOU!!

There you go. Don't expect another post for a long time because I have 3 weeks of 6 night 7 day camps and then I'm home bound!!
Michael, Happy Birthday!

Taiwan!!! 我愛你們

It seems like this month I've had a lot of different adventures and random things happen.

Amber's sister came a week ago for a month long visit. We went up to Taipei for a weekend. We said goodbye to both our schools. We went to both of their graduations. Aaron and I said goodbye to our Sunday School class. We celebrated our 300th day in Taiwan. We gave our superlatives and had our last team meeting. We had our last outside teaching class. We had our last EV class. We had our last Friday afternoon class. We went to lunch with the school. We sit inside 24/7 because of the Typhoons. I'm leaving Chaozhou in 6 days so I'm packing.

Taipei was pretty fun. Aaron and Julia went up on Friday right after we finished teaching the Kindergartners. The HSR ride was kinda boring so we took a couple (thousand) pictures.

Once we got to Taipei we went straight to the airport to pick up Amber's sister. Amber had an amazing outfit because she wanted to make sure her sister saw her.

 It was raining in Taipei so we didn't get to do a lot. We went on the gondola and then it rained so we had to get off. We visited a couple markets and ate some food. It wasn't super exciting.

Aaron and I came back home early so that we could have one last time at our Sunday School class. They actually had a party for us (and the June birthday's). It was really fun. They had a ton of delicious food and Said thank you and made us crowns.

That was really fun to be able to have one more time to say goodbye and to have a party with them.

On Wednesday we celebrated our 300th day in Taiwan. If you want to be super precise it was some of our stuff's 300th day. We've left the country 2 times so we haven't been in Taiwan exactly 300 days. We have been gone for 300 days though.

Our last Friday class with the Kindergartners and the 1st and 2nd graders was so good. We had so much fun, we didn't plan a lesson for them so we could spend some time just playing with them.

One more thing. We also got to attend a concert of one of the schools that had come to the EV. They were aboriginal and really good at singing. They all did an amazing job.

Yep, June's not over yet but that was the beginning of my June.
