They've arrived a half an hour early and we are on our way to Taichung!
It has been so long since we've had missionaries in bed by 10:30pm the evening of their arrival! Recently their flights haven't landed until 10pm and we weren't able to get back to the mission home until after 1am. It was so wonderful for this group to get a good night's rest and be up early to exercise:
On your marks, get set, GO!
A few Buddha claps to finish up:
