And surely I am with you  always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 Hey everybody! Adam here, writing my first full blog. Before I delve into today's action-packed adventure of a day, I just want to say a  genuine   thank you to all of our supporters both at Taiwan and back at home. No matter where you are, no matter where how you are reading our blogs or hearing about our mission, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Through your prayers and support, God has truly shown why He is so powerful and amazing. Praise the Lord! Now, time to unravel today's events. If I could sum up our day in 2 words, they would be "Godly" and "tiring." Hopefully you'll understand and sympathize with my feelings by the end of this blog. :) In the mor...
