Home Again

Our final entry to the blog. We are home, unpacked, back on our feet after jet lag. The trip isn't just a memory at this point - my head is still full of the sights, tastes, sounds, smells, people. It seems over crowded at times - we met so many people. But slowly we are getting back into the swing of our quiet life in Owen Sound.
The most interesting experience from the trip for me was to travel half way around the world, be immersed in a culture that is drastically different than ours, a language we don't understand at all, food we didn't recognize and find a very familiar, common bond in meeting with fellow Presbyterians. So much was familiar, and yet the Taiwanese Presbyterian Church has and continues to undergo so much political struggle as they fight for freedom for their land. It was very powerful to see the strength of the people and how much they would risk to fight for that freedom. Church and politics, church and education, church and health care are all intertwined in Taiwan. Very different from Canada.
We hope to share more stories and pictures as our paths cross.
