YAY! We have internet in Taiwan... here is what we have been doing for the past week! Please continue to pray for us so that we can be more and more useful here! =)

Viv and I wake up around 7am everyday and then we go to staff devotions at 7:30am. Where I have to pay careful attention to understand the Mandarin and where Viv doesn't understand anything but she's really good because she sits there and waits patiently. Then at 8-8:30am, we teach English to the staff. So far, we've taught them about the weather and things like "Welcome to the Orphanage." Then from 8:30-4pm, there really isn't much for us to do becaues they won't let us do much... and because ALL the kids are at school except for 2 kids who are 3 years old and already have someone watching over them. From 4-6pm, we go and help out in the Kindergarten room because one of the helpers in the kindergarten area just had a baby last week and so we're going to help for 3 weeks. It's so cute because they just come back from school and play with us and then they take a shower together... all of the 9 kids... boys AND girls. It's so cute because they just line up in a row and then just wait for their turn to get shampooed and washed. Then we go for dinner. Then at 7-7:30, we teach the kindergarten kids English. From 7:30-9pm, we teach different groups of kids English. On Monday, we'll teach three choir girls how to say their testimonies in English so when they go on tour in the summer, they can just say their testimony in English. Then on Tuesday, we teach Grade 5-6; Wednesday, Grade 3-4; Thursday, Grade 7; Friday, Grade 8. This morning (Sat), we taught Grade 1-2. So yeah, a lot of English teaching. We asked if we could help them during the day because they are doing some landscaping so next week, we're going to move rocks. YAY! Yeah, we are very bored during the day. Yesterday, Viv took a four hour nap! Hahaha... Well, I took a three hour one. Anyways, I think that's it for now... not sure when I can write more but this is it for now...
