Ellen's says HI ~ from Sweden

 

Hi Christine and all !!

So good to hear from you! Right now I´m working. I got a very good job, its a christian bookshop (almost the same as Olive bookstore in Jhongli). After I left Taiwan I went to Thailand, I stayed there until the end of may. So I kind of recently arrived to Sweden. It´s been very tough to come home, and it´s hard to "move on". I have been talking a lot about Taiwan at big christian events, and people always tell me how Carpenter´s coffe bars work sounds so amazing! We are many who are praying for you christine and for the coffee bar here in Sweden. I miss all of you! 

In the fall I´m starting university as a chinese major! I fell in love with Taiwan and with Chinese culture, and I´m excited to learn to speak more! I will only study speaking this term, writing is so hard and I think it´s easier to learn that abroad. My goal is to come back to Taiwan next year! I will see where God leads me! 

Please give my regards to all of the workers at the coffee bar. Especially to Fong, Rose, Tarzan, Jamie and Phil!

Blessings from 劉艾倫

嗨小劉姐!

好高興收到妳的消息! 我現在開始工作了，是一份很棒的工作，在一個類似中壢橄欖書房的基督教書店工作。離開台灣之後，我在泰國待到了五月底，所以也是前不久才會到瑞典的。回到家有點不習慣，也覺得離開台灣、繼續瑞典的生活不容易。

我在許多大型的福音活動中都會分享台灣的事情，也有好多人覺得木匠的家咖啡吧的工作是多麼的奇妙、美好! 我們瑞典這裡有許多人在為妳和咖啡吧的事工禱告。我真想念你們每一個人!

這秋天我會開始去大學上課，主修中文! 我已經愛上台灣和中華文化了，極期待學習更多、也學講更多中文! 但我這學期只會上口說，寫作實在太難了，我覺得在亞洲念會比較容易。我的目標就是明年可以回台灣! 但是要看神的帶領了!

請幫我向咖啡吧的所有員工問好! 尤其是Fong, Rose, Tarzan, Jamie and Phil!

Blessings from 劉艾倫
