oops. haven't been very good about updating (this new blog format is terrible :\ ). um, quick update, i guess... the support letters are out, and everyone should get them soon. if you didn't already ask me for one or yours gets lost in the mail, ask me for one and i'll try to send one to you asap... there's not much time though, i'm leaving on the 25th. thanks for keeping tabs on me. :)

thanks to my new drill sargent, i now have a missions stuff schedule.

saturday 10pm: finish support letter and have it reviewed by drill sargent
monday 5pm: letters printed, in envelopes, stamped, addressed, and mailed.

that's it for now, but i'm figuring the two testimonies come next. then i have to learn the 3:16 and four spiritual laws evangelism techniques. all of which i must do in mandarin. then i get to plan out how i'm going to teach english. somewhere in there i'll need to stick in learning bass guitar and the music. of course, the songs are in mandarin, too. oh yeah. i need to plan some ice breakers, as well... with team members who are already in taiwan. all this before i leave for taiwan on the 25th. yay. i shall be praying hard. please pray for me, too. thank you :)

trying to get cracking on this writing testimonies business for missions. oy. two 300-500 word testimonies... in mandarin. ack. i'll be happy at this point if i can come up with them in english. boo on the effects of summer on your brain. *sigh* no more procrastination. think think think...

(from now on i'll try and use my blog to keep all of you updated on this mission trip for those who are interested. i don't know if i'll be able to do this while i'm at taiwan... guess we'll see.)
