Last Sunday we started our journey to Taiwan. A lot of people came to the airport in Frankfurt to say goodbye to us. It was nice that our parents, Joe’s siblings, friends from our church and Helga from the Marburg Mission were there, even if saying goodbye was not easy … We could take more baggage than we thought for free. That was really a miracle for us and a affirmation from God.
After a long and tiring journey we arrived safely in Taiwan on Monday afternoon. We were picked up at the airport by fellow missionaries of the Marburg Mission. They brought us to our apartment and we had dinner together. In the street behind our house there are a lot of very cheap and good restaurants. We will definitely not starve here ;).
Right now we are still trying to set up and orient ourselves here. We have already unpacked our suitcases , explored the area a bit , signed up at the language school , went shopping , … Aside from some language barriers it works quite well so far and we have already met some nice people. We are curious about what we will experience in the near future …
