Right now I am planning on departing Fort Mill, SC (and Charlotte, NC) on Thursday, August 10th, to drive across America to Seattle. So if you are in the Carolinas and want to meet up with me before I leave, let me know.

David's wedding this Sunday
My friend David Byron is getting married to his fiance Daria this Sunday afternoon. I'll be playing the violin, along with David's sister, Faith, on the flute. It's going to be an outdoor wedding, so please pray for good weather, not too hot, and not too windy, because too much wind will knock over our music stands.

Sea World
This past Saturday I had a chance to visit Sea World, a crowded theme park with marine animals and rides. The main attraction is the killer whale show, where these large-sized dolphin perform spectacular tricks in air and water. It is interesting how these animals are utilized to make million of dollars each year in merchandises. Anyways, I had a fun time.Friday, July 21, 2006
meeting up with old friends
Tonight I had a good hang out time with Rob and Jimmy. We haven't met in a long time. It was good to catch up. Jimmy is heading to Taiwan on a mission trip next week, so keep him in your prayers.

family reunion
The past few days I have been hanging out with my family, as my brother Gideon and his wife Julia have returned to the States from China. It has been a long while since all of us have been together in one place. Gideon and Julia will be heading to Boston tomorrow. We wonder when will be the next time all of us meet again.

Madagascar!
Last night we had a "social" night at Keith's home group. I got to lead worship on guitar, and afterwards, we went out for Hershey's ice cream. Next door to the ice cream shop was a Blockbuster movie rental place, so we decided to browse and rent a film to watch back at Keith's house. We ended up choosing "Madagascar," a family cartoon movie that came out last year, I think. It was a fun, short film, and we had a joyous night.Wednesday, July 12, 2006
18 year anniversary in the US
Today is the 18th anniversary of my family's move to America. Back in 1988, we flew over from Taiwan to California on July 12th. We landed at LAX, and I will always remember that first day in the US. It has been quite a journey for me since then. God is good!

Playing football
Last Sunday evening I was hanging out with Resurrection youth at a park near uptown Charlotte. We had a great time of worship and spiritual discussion. Afterwards, we decided to play 5-on-5 touch football. I scored a touchdown and our team won, 4-1 (or 24-6), if you count 6 points for touchdowns. It was just like the old days, when I was in elementary school. Fun!

Presentation recap from this afternoon
This afternoon I gave my ministry presentation at Mary Ann's house. I gave a little talk about the Light Amp ministry, had a photo slideshow of the adventures in the past year, and play a few of my own worship songs on the guitar. Afterwards, I received prayers of blessing, as I prepare to move to Seattle. It was a good time in the Lord.
