Letters from Taiwan

Hey guys,

How are ya?

First off, though way more than just slightly contradictory, to be as frank of a person as I insist on being, the truth of the circumstance demands that I add to my (way more than excessively bold) subject box, that my summer plans, at this point, remain completely & totally tentative...at best.

What I'd like to say...(pardon the apparent inability to refrain from rhyming today) is school's classes don't end until the 18th of June...(not May) but then finals go for about two weeks after that (Until June 30th...to this I say I wish I could vote "Nay!")...but can't so I won't be home during the early parts of the summer...if this circumstance were a color it would be gray...but it's okay.

So I've been thinking and praying about visiting this summer, and, I want a departure date that would allow my return date (if there will be one) back to Taiwan to be later in the summer, which is better for what's going on here at that time, and is early enough in the summer that I could, if I decided not to continue working in Taiwan, still possibly tack down a good job near Southern while facilitating leeway for plugging away at the ole Master's Degree.

Wow! The mother of all run-on sentences!

If there will be one, my return date would be, most likely, August 14th, after sundown on Saturday; or Thursday, the 12th...since I feel strongly about not traveling (in this way & to this extent) on Sabbath. So these are my thoughts on summer.

If I was working around home, I'd like to work in an SDA school, but I see just as much benefit in working for the Dalton public school system as well, for these three reasons: 1st, I really see the beauty in ministering through hidden curriculum to non-SDA’s, 2nd, it's close to home, and 3rd, Georgia is a much better state (for many reasons) to be a teacher in...so I've heard.

Well, I ended up writing way more than I intended to, but that's easy to do with you...and though I might could even like to chat a bit more, I do have to get going because I have quite a bit to accomplish, according to today's “To Do List.”

Look forward to hearing from you guys.

Hey, join me in keeping Jake and the summer camp in your prayers...
it's a stressful situation since he's the one who has to fill every position he can't get staffed...would anyone like to come to Taiwan to work in a summer camp? It's beautiful, there's a free plane ticket, $1000 cash for 8 weeks of work and if you're going to Southern, there'll be an extra $800...so that'd be $1800.00...oh and there's a free, one week tour of Taiwan! Help me spread the word and give me an email concerning interests if you know any.

Thanks,
In & For Christ,
Cam
