Dear Lim Bok-su,

你的聖誕信和禮物昨天抵達，所以，我再一次寫信表達我深深的感謝你和在美國的台灣朋友，您們以這種方式來記念我，是非常友好和慷慨的，我很珍惜你們的友誼。

我很高興聽到台灣教會的消息，我為台灣和在美國的朋友祈禱。尤其是在目前，我想念在台灣的每個人，特別是為總統候選人蔡博士。她是一個這樣美好的領導人，她需要我們所有人的支持。我聽說原本在3月的選舉已經往前挪至1月14日，我深切地關心我們心愛的島嶼的未來，我會在祈禱裡思念您們。

有關 我自己的消息是有限的 - 在將近92歲，我仍然自己生活，但我有很多鄰居的幫助。我想我曾經告訴過你，我有心絞痛和帕金森病，現在又有其他健康問題 - 慢性淋巴白血病 - 但並不嚴重，我有很好的醫生照顧我。我已經不像從前那麼活耀了，但我每天外出，我仍然在教會事奉。

我的家人都生活在不同的地方，蒙特利爾，波士頓和香港，通常我們都透過電話保持聯繫。我們家族有兩個新成員 - Leyla 快3歲了，還有Ethan 將近1歲。我是他們的Great-Great-Aunt，我知道台灣話叫做 Ko'-Po- Cho(姑婆祖)。我的孫侄子今年結婚，他的妻子是中國人，但在蒙特利爾長大，其實他們是在大學認識的。他們現住在香港。

再次謝謝 TCCCNA的每個成員。

獻上最好的祝福

Kathleen Moody.

Dear Lim Bok-su,

Your Christmas letter and gift arrived yesterday and so once more, I write to express my deep appreciation and thanks to you and to Taiwanese friends in the U.S.A. It is so very kind and generous of you all to remember me in this way and your friendship means so much to me.

I rejoice to hear news of our church in Taiwan and I do pray both for friends there and in the U.S.A. Especially at present I think of everyone in Taiwan and most of all for the presidential candidate, Dr. Tsai. She would be such a wonderful leader and she needs all our Support. I hear that the election has been moved forward to 14 January though it was originally to be in March. I hold you all in my mind and heart and I do deeply care for the future of our beloved island.

My own news is limited - at almost 92 years of age I do still live on my own but I have a lot of help from neighbors. I think I will have told you that I have Angina and Parkinson Disease and now another health problem has been added - Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia - but that is not serious and I have very good care from my doctor. I am not as active as I used to be but I do go out each day and I am a Reader at church.

My family are living in various places -Montreal, Boston and Hong Kong - but they and I keep in touch by telephone. We have two new members of the family – Leyla who is nearly 3, and Ethan who is almost one. I am their Great-Great-Aunt and I have learned how to explain that in Taiwanese- Ko'-Po- Cho. Also my Great-Nephew was Married this year and his wife• is Chinese but grew up in Montreal, in fact they met at university there. They are now in Hong Kong.

Again my sincere thanks to everyone in the TCCCNA

With all best wishes,

Kathleen Moody.
