Taiwan Trip: Sight Seeing

2/24 and 2/25 afternoon, we saved for ourselves to go some sightseeings.

Taipei 101 was a "must-go" on our list. Last year, we went there, but it's too foggy, so we didn't go to the observatory. This time, the weather was better, so we decided to try our luck again.

From 101, we could see 雪山隧道 that we drove through the day before to 宜蘭

After our 101 tour, we started walking back to the MRT station to go home for dinner, and on our way, we saw many beautiful lights, so we crossed the street to watch it. After few minutes of walking around, we heard something from the microphone saying that 臺北燈會的試燈彩排即將開始，請大家就坐。I knew that 臺北燈會was going to start on 2/26, and at that time, we would be on the plane to the U.S., so we wouldn't be able to see it, but thank God for giving us the opportunity to see the 彩排, which was good, too. Again, if we came early, we would not have known it; if we came late, we would have missed it. If God did not arrange it for us, who would?

On 2/25, we left the house at 2:15pm and went to 中正紀念堂魚池 because kids still remembered that we came here to feed the fish last year. This year, we didn't even go to the main building, just the fish pond and the restroom.

In 宜蘭，we saw some 杜鵑花，and Stephen remembered that his school used to have a lot of 杜鵑花 in March, April, so we went there to see the flowers and also had a short walk in 公館. We passed by 校園書房 and bought a 福音橋 to read to my parents-in-law. Stephen talked to Dad many times about the Gospel and prayed with him, but he didn't really show yes or no. Before we left for the U.S, when everyone was in the elevator, I went and asked him again if He wanted to believe in Jesus, and this time, he said yes. I hoped that he meant it. May the Holy Spirit continues to work in his heart. I also read the 福音橋to Mom, but she didn't seem to be very interested in it except for the page with a person in the boat during the storm, and Jesus' big hands were there to hold him.  Since Dad is not in a good health condition, and Mom needs to take care of him by herself, Jesus is the only One who she can turn to. May the salvation of the Lord come to them.
