We made it to Taiwan with (most) everything intact

Just a quick update to let everyone know we've arrived safely.  The team is on the move.  As I write this, the sun is rising to my left, and there is some stirring about in the room to my right where the girls (5 or 6 it sounds like) got a few hours of sleep.  Today we pack up everything and move to Taipei for two nights.  We'll be doing final preparations on our parts of the camp programs (skits, English lessons, songs, games, ...)  There's actually quite a long 'to-do' list; some things will have to just be left undone.  It will take several days for everyone to adjust to the time difference and feel alert during the day instead of 3am.  This can be a time of emotion and physical stress with ups and downs coming from homesickness, the newness of everything, a body in rebellion to change, etc. Please continue praying for us.

For the team,

Chuck
