YEC--recess announcement and/or discussion

Good morning my friends,
we're having a general assembly at the church on 1/27; therefore, we'll have to pause our bible study for one time again. This is the second time in 2013, perhaps six or seven more to go. I hope you can understand that our bible study will have to comply with the routine agenda (schedule) of the church, and so will the other classes. I also know that everyone at the YEC more or less regrets this. In addition, the Chinese new year is coming soon and we'll have to see if everyone is available on 2/10. We'll decide it next time (2/3). If I remember correctly, the whole month of March will be dedicated to joint courses of the adult Sunday school, so we have a couple of stops in a row. Anyway, I'll keep everyone posted on the latest through e-mail, so stay tuned.
By the way, so far I got the confirmation of Jamie for the second-round purchase of the new textbook. So, if you're getting on the act too (you want to buy) please do tell me cuz I'm sending the order one of these days.
Happy New Year.

YEC--1/13 meeting

dear friends,
it's a thrill to see everyone working so hard; even last week some people came to the YEC. I previously announced the pause through mail but perhaps I did it too early so those must have forgotten. However, I was told that those who came even had a discussion among themselves. I'm so happy to hear that, because their enthusiasm and passion can't be stopped by anything. Thanks Robert, Birdy, Steven, and anyone else who took part in the discussion. The YEC has gone through many changes all these years. In a word, this machine "runs by itself and it doesn't go out of control". You don't even need the voice command system, it simply goes auto. In comparison, the Apple Siri is just like a toy. I know that it feels like a "home away from home"; so perhaps next time I'm out of town for a couple of days I can just turn on the "auto pilot".
As to our new book, we'll have to mail order it in a second round. Those who want it please let me know, I'm sending my order in a couple of days. And by the way, someone please send me the complete Chinese title of the book, I forgot to write it down today (thanks with anticipation). Well, i'll see you next time, bye. Emmanuel.

YEC--back to work on 1/13

Hi guys,
we're getting back to work on 1/13, so don't forget to show up. This time, we'll keep going with the current lesson, Lesson 13 A Bride Needed. By the way, I just got our new book and it turns out that the version we saw has been discontinued (no more in production). Now they gave me the latest version, which was split into Part I and II. Of course, I bought Part I for now, but those who already have the old version will have to see if the two are same. Anyway, they only had six copies in stock, so we''ll have have to make a mail purchase later on. I'll bring along the book for everyone to check it out, and by then the rest may decide whether or not order it. All the best.

YEC greetings and good tidings: Spanish Bible Study in Kaohsiung

Dear friends,
I wanna wish you a productive 2013, full of new challenges and growth. In retrospect, I've been in the English bible study for many years already; and thanks God the effort keeps bearing fruits. I know that in the process many people came and went, but it's still worth the struggle. 2013 is also bringing a new foreign language bible study to our church. This time will be Spanish, and my sister will be in charge of it. It's scheduled to be launched in March at the earliest, or perhaps in June or July at the latest. It depends on how quickly we get together all the members that are interested in the subject. So if you or anyone you know is looking for a Spanish bible study here in Kaohsiung just put me through. Or you can also bring him/her to the YEC in the mean time. This bible study will be targeting beginners in Spanish learning, though advanced learners will be welcome as well. Details of this meeting will be posted as soon as I can. By the way, my sister is currently teaching Spanish at Wen Tzao foreign language institute; and she's been in the practice for more than ten years. I believe that both her personal and professional experience in this area will be much more than enough to help out.
Well, that's it for now. Happy 2013!
Luis
