The Wedding Update

Place me like a seal over your heart,
Like a seal over your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
Its jealousy as unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
Like a mighty flame.

Many waters cannot quench love;
Rivers cannot wash it away.


-- Song of Solomon 8:6-7a, NIV

Jeff and Linda Lin, may you be a living picture of the enduring love between the Lord Jesus Christ and His church, for the rest of your life, to the glory of God.

- A disciple whom Jesus loves

Evangelism Training

ET ended this past week! Thank you for praying for me, God was extremely gracious and strengthened me for the work. The groups will still be going out for two more weeks to share the gospel together so please pray for them to proclaim the gospel boldly and with love. Also please pray for me to prepare for next semester's ET class diligently and for those who will be taking ET next semester!

life of joyce

i was gonna post pictures of what i see on my way to work. but it was a bit disgusting. basically...when i'm walking, i look only at the ground because there are dog droppings EVERYWHERE. i probably come across at least five piles on my way to work.

but once in a while, when i do look up, there are majestic mountains to my right. very peaceful to look at on rainy days.

i live in nankang, which i like to dub the "swamp-desert" because it is in the middle of nowhere and it is ALWAYS RAINING. oftentimes i'd be at EBCT enjoying good weather and then come home to a storm. btw, everything slightly wooly/velvety molds within half a week. i need to wash my bathroom of molds every 3 days or so...

also, to emphasize that fact, we don't have squirrel, cat, or dog roadkill. we get frog roadkill. they're everywhere.

look closely...

as for what i do everyday during work...

i play with yeast.

after experiments we must do analysis which involves going to online databases for the DNA sequences of certain genes:

and putting them together to find where their DNA sequences differ.

quite tedious business. but at least we don't have to come to work early/stay late for that.


during experiments, i'm always using the pipetman. usually my hand muscles get so tired that i have to take a break every 30 minutes or so, whenever the experiment permits. after taking off the gloves, my right hand is always a lot more swollen than my left.



that's m-f

as for weekends, it's usually packed with ebct events or meeting up. busy but nice. sanny and clara graciously let me spend the nights there on sat so i save 2 hours of transpo time and can spend more time people.


prayer requests
1) FOCUS. my purpose here, in life. being a good living testimony/witness
2) sharing: family, coworkers, roomates


thank you for your prayers. and email me!

*edit* this one's for you jisu:

that's what i get to do some weeknights. (:
