Thank you for your kind prayer for my family, my friend and me. Although I'm still having targeted therapies every 3 weeks, I'm recovering well from the radio therapies and feel much stronger. The attached photos are taken in family outings. This year my Mum had a happy Mother's Day, the 2nd Sunday in May. Thanks God, no more surprise. :-)
About my faith life, I returned to my church for Sunday worship. And I've been an English-Chinese translation volunteer at home for the World Vision Taiwan since April. World Vision is an international Christian organisation. Its mission is "Let my heart be broken with the things break the heart of God." (Yes, our friend Daria, the ex-volunteer of Friends International Lancaster, works there now. But the job was told by Kat, a Taiwanese PhD graduate from Lancaster. She has been its translation volunteer for a long time. What a small world!) I'd like to do some international mission after I got so much support in the UK. This volunteer job isn't a big deal, but I'm delighted at this start. I believe it is a response from God to my prayer.
I'm very touched by the letters written by the children from Bolivia, Colombia, Romania or Salvador, who use simple words to introduce themselves and express their thanks to their sponsors from Taiwan. For example, a child wrote, "I have at home a very nice library and that thanks to you: with your support I collect the books I needed for school and not only." Another child's mother wrote: "In the Christmas time... he desired a special present, a truck. He was happy because he received another present from Santa." The children and their family show me how content they are with their lives. They might be poor in physical needs, but they are rich in soul. I hope I can have such simple desire and pure confidence in God as they are.
If there is anything you'd like me to include in my prayer, pls feel free to tell me. Thank you.
Love and blessing from Carol
