Today we had lunch with Joseph and Sherry. It was wonderful, because we haven’t seen them for 10 years. They moved to Chch in 1997 with their son Zenas and baby daughter Jeannie. Joseph is a dentist and like many other Immigrant husbands he commuted between Chch and Taipei. They moved back to Taiwan in 1999, and we haven’t seen them since. Here they are, and they look just the same!

During the 90’s Becky and I led 2 home groups in our Church, and Sherry was in one of those home groups. Sherry was so much fun! (She looks a little serious in the picture, but actually she is very, very fun to be around.) We had some wonderful times in those home groups and developed deep friendships. (On Sat we will go to Kaohsiung to see 4 others from those groups; Wendy, Lisa, Joy and Lilly. Will keep you posted on what they are up to now!) Sherry was an unforgettable person, and I have often wondered over the past 10 years how she is and what she and her husband are doing.

Joseph and Sherry were both Christians when they came to NZ, and are now back in the Presbyterian Church here. Sherry had studied music in Tainan Theological Seminary so her two children are very musical, Zenas coming first place in a recent National competition for Cello. We were sad not to have seen Jeannie because she was such a beautiful child and we would like to have seen her now as a 13 year old. But she was at school!

Joseph and Sherry work together in their Dental clinic here in Taipei and are busy. They said they miss NZ but are happy here. Joseph and Sherry we would love to see you in Oct next year…… if you are able to come to our 20th Anniversary.
