Jen completed the Columbus Marathon this weekend. This was her first marathon and she finished it strong with a time of 5 hours and 22 minutes. She said that did not "hit a wall". Aside from some knee pain in the middle, she says the race went smoothly for her. See some pictures here.

Our friends, the Sullivans, Mike and Edith and their kids Maggie & Kate, came out this Christmas to see us. These guys were great. They were so encouraging and really got to see and participate in a lot of our ministry here. We also got to have a lot fun with them, going snorkeling in the cold waters of Heng-chhun, and visiting the worlds tallest building in Taipei. They got to see a lot of Taiwan's natural beauty, and experience Taiwanese hospitality from our friends. They also got to see the clear spiritual need of the Taiwanese working class.

To fight the recent infestation of Taiwanese mice we took in a stray.

Alex and Rachel named her Katara.

Kat for short.

Uncle Bill had sent us quarters for the kids quarter books. An ongoing "tradition". Thanks Uncle Bill
