Tomorrow I am leaving Taiwan. The past 6 months have gone by in the blink of an eye! I know it's time to begin life's next adventure, but saying goodbye to this place that has become my second home has been more difficult than I ever imagined.
There is a slogan throughout Taiwan that is posted in many tourist destinations and around the cities that says, "Taiwan...Touch Your Heart." During my first weeks here, I thought all the signs and stickers I saw everywhere were a little ridiculous. But overtime, those words have become a reality, and I find myself smiling each time I see them!
Taiwan has truly touched my heart! Silly as that may sound, this place and its people have changed my life forever. Words cannot express my gratitude for the incredible experiences I've had and lessons I've learned in Taiwan. I have seen God's hand in my life each day, and I have felt His love in countless ways.
I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come back, but this place will always be a part of me. I will truly miss my new friends, the Berhan staff, the Wu Chuan 2nd Branch, my wonderful roommates, and my dear students. For all of its majestic green mountains and incredible scenery; scooters, trains, bikes, and buses; bing shas and mangoes; buildings and temples; for its people, pace, and constant chaos...I love this beautiful island! Zaijian, Taiwan!!!
