So I've been home for about two months now, and I have been crazy busy, but some amazing things have happened! I just finished my 9 units of summer school yesterday, and I am soooo glad to be done! It was really difficult, but also worth it, and I learned a lot that will even help me when I am teaching in Korea! (that is why my summer is beginning)
This next week is VBS so that is going to be really awesome, but really tiring as well! I am excited since this is what I've been preparing for at work for the past two months, and now its finally about to happen! After that, I'll just do a little clean up, and reorganizing, and then I'll be off to Korea! ...and this is the ending of my summer, since I'll be working from here on out! Its a good kind of work though :)
I leave for Korea on July 16th from LAX, and return to LA on August 18th. I'll be teaching English, and sharing the gospel. It will also be an interview of sorts to see if I want to return after I graduate for a full time teaching job. It would be a huge change, but also a great way to pay off those college loans!! After my Korea trip this summer, I'm going to stay down in Riverside, move into my apartment early, and also start work. It will be good to enjoy some of that California sunshine that I've been missing, and I'll get to see my family when they bring mine and Marisa's stuff down, so I will not miss home too much!!
Here's a link to the website of the school that I will be working for in Cheung Buk, South Korea. Also, I've given you a picture of some of my team members from CBU, although there are at least forty more members of my team :) http://www.gemgem.org/?menu_no=14
Prayer requests:
That God will use the staff and Christian kids at VBS to reach the unchurched.
That God would give me rest and strength so that I'll be ready for South Korea
That God will give me clarity and discernment to help decide if I want to return to Korea for two years to teach after I graduate.
