At the end of February we (Collan and Noreen, Elaine’s parents) were so excited to be coming to Taiwan to see our family, especially Bethany. Now it's time to go home so our excitement is replaced with sadness. It has been a blessing spending 2 months in Tainan, we have seen and done so much!
在二月底時，我們（Collan and Noreen，Elaine的父母）懷著興奮的心情來到台灣探望我們的家人，特別是興奮可以看到我們的外孫女Bethany。兩個月後，回南非的時間到了，我們的興奮之情，取而代之的是離別的難過。在台南的這兩個月很蒙福，我們不但大開眼界，也完成了很多事情。
Bethany has made wonderful progress while we have been here. It was a privilege to attend her dedication and to fellowship with you all at TNHC. We celebrated the 1 year anniversary of the English service and enjoyed a lovely picnic together. Thank you for your love and hospitality and making us feel so welcome. Thank you for inviting us into your homes, showing us around Tainan and for the many gifts. We have many memories to take home with us. God willing we will be back in the future, in the mean time may your church grow and prosper
在這裡的這段時間，Bethany的狀況改善進步了很多。能夠到台南聖教會參加她的獻兒式並且與大家一同交通是我們的榮幸。我們也一起享受美好的野餐來慶祝英語堂滿一週年。謝謝大家的愛與接待，讓我們感受到你們的歡迎。謝謝大家邀請我們到你們的家中，帶我們參觀台南，還送了許多禮物。我們帶了好多回憶回家。若神願意的話，我們將來會再回到台灣，在此期間，願台南聖教會繼續成長興盛。
