Taiwan: We've Arrived Safely

After nearly 50 hours and 10,000 miles, we have arrived safely in Taiwan.
With a long layover in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 9th, our team was able to take a tour of the city of Angels.
We were able to see some famous sights such as Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive and Venice Beach.
Our flight left LA at 2 am (PST), arriving in Taiwan early on Friday morning (July 11th).
It was already over 80 degrees at 6 am this morning.
The Atkins were busy with the Taiwan Missionary Fellowship conference this week, so we had to get ourselves from Taipei to Taichung.
No problem, though, for us experienced travelers (3 of our 4 team members came to Taiwan in 2006).
Everything worked fine and we arrived in Taichung around 9 am local time.
Brenda Atkin came and picked us up from the bus stop and took us straight to the Morrison Christian Academy.
Morrison is the site of this week's missionary conference and next week's Sports & English camp.
We've enjoyed the fellowship of many missionaries and some of the finest Kingdom workers.
We even witnessed a baptism this afternoon.
Dr David Roadcup of Cincinnati Christian University has spoken a couple of times today about discipleship. It's been really good stuff!
Please continue to pray for our team and next week's Sports & English camp (starts Sunday, July 13th).

God bless,
Greg H
