Back in Taipei!

Well... I was going to post on Sunday, but I decided to turn off the WiFi as it was on for the entire time that we were gone... it felt good to be 'disconnected'. 

I arrived back at 4:40am on Sunday, August 10th. The flight was quite nice. I did not watch any movies... I But I did eat both meals and even got up to get some mid-flight snacks! A sandwich and some crackers. I tried to walk around at least three to four times during the flight. During the meals, I watched these simple 30 minute TV shows about home design or cooking!

Going through customs was fast. I decided to pause and have my quiet time there at the airport! When I came down, my luggage were already off the carousel. My bags were not checked and I was off to catch the bus. The 5:50 bus was not a direct bus, but I decided to take it instead of waiting for the 6:30 bus. 

I was at SongShan Airport by 6:55 and took a taxi straight home instead of taking the MRT and then trying to get a taxi. I was home by 7:20! The taxi was 265NT$! That's about 9.50US$! Totally worth it!

I lugged all the pieces upstairs and started unpacking! Isaiah was asleep... 

He left at 10:30 for the Young Adult Fellowship which was at our old apartment. So I asked him to bring two luggage back as we store them there! I've got three more luggage to drop off over there later on this week!

I continued to sort and put things away.

He was back at 1:20 and I had already taken a shower and decided to nap before going to church. On the way to church, I stopped to get money and paid all the bills!

I had to translate... and I was feeling foggy... I asked a few people to pray and as soon as I stepped on stage, my mind was absolutely clear! The message was on Establishing A Holy Culture of God's Presence!

We had Love Feast and scootered home!

I kept the WiFi off and went to bed at 8:30! Hence, I did not blog!

And I got up at 1:50am, Monday! 

I had my quiet time and then went out for a run at 4:50 before sunrise at 5:25.  It was much nicer... but still quite warm!

Before taking a shower, I decided to trim my hair... Well... the back needs a bit more touching up... I'll do that tomorrow! I went off to update all the bank books and got gas for my scooter. Isaiah got up and took off for work. I ate breakfast and then left to meet up with Elaine. I had brought things back from the States for her!

She prepared some delicious fruit and toast and we had a great lunch. At 2pm, I had to go as I wanted to stop at the bank for Abby. Her bank wanted some information before the money can go into her account. I got that sorted plus I had to pay about 15US$ for the two transactions!

I then went to see a space that might be a possible event venue for August 30th. 2500NT$ per hour... 

When that was done, I headed to the supermarket to buy some veggies and I got home before the rain! 

The rest of the evening was spent on completing my Bible study homework on Revelation and my talk for Sunday. I will need to work on it some more and complete the ppt file as well. Isaiah is translating for me so no hurry on giving him my talk notes.

I hope to be in bed again at around 9pm and be up at 2am! I like being up early. I hope to do that every day until Alan returns from the States.
