see you again
To my dear, dear Taiwan friends,
How are you doing? I have some news I'd like to share with you. I've accepted a call to a Lutheran Elementary Teacher position in Wisconsin, grades 1-4. I've truly enjoyed the four years God has blessed me with in Taiwan and I will miss you all very dearly. I really hope to see all of you again one more time before I go. I will leave to go back to America on July 18th. So please, just let me know when you are free for me to come and visit you or for you to come to Chai Yi and visit me. I love you very very much! My prayer is that you too believe in Jesus so we can see eachother again in heaven someday. Then it's not "good-bye" but a "see you again".
God's Richest Blessings,
Petrea

Dear Petrea,
When I heard you’ll leave in July, I’m so surprised. Actually, I know one day you’ll leave, but I don’t know the date is coming so fast. I’m used to have your accompanied, because you are a special friend in my life. You are a foreigner but you will not discriminate people who can’t speak English well, and you know, not all foreigner live here can do this; even he (she) is a missionary. Your life is full of love, you always show me your good characters, include integrity, grit, enthusiasm, kindhearted, and I know all of these are from your family. Your parents are very pious, they pray for you, support you to achieve your dream. I saw God’s love in your family members, too. You are so blessed and I envies you so much.^_^
Although I hope you can stay here forever, but we know the priority in our life. If God lead you come back to
May God lead you to build a family and maybe one day your own family will serve people overseas again.
In Christ
Linda
