Hello! Greetings from Korea!
First of all I just want to say THANK YOU!!! For all your prayers, thoughts, letters, and words of encouragement!! I have appreciated them all more than I can possibly express or stay!!! So thank you again! So spring has officially arrived here in Korea and it is b-e-a-u-tiful!!!! I cannot express how thankful I am that I no longer have to wear a parka and worry about frostbite… Today in fact I wore flip flops and a tank top, if you can believe it… Today was actually a really go day overall, I called my Dad last night because it was his birthday so I was able to caught him on his morning commute and have a great conversation with him. I love that he thinks I’m funny and I love to make him laugh… It makes my heart happy to hear his laugh J Good times, good times… Anyways last month they sent Elena, Aaron, and me to a conference in Seoul. So, today we had a teacher’s day where we didn’t have to teach but the other teachers had to hear us talk about what we learned and pass on the knowledge then we organized the faculty room. It was like Christmas J We rearranged and organized all the books and went through supplements, piles of tapes and CDs and got rid of a ton of trash that had somehow managed to shove itself on the bookshelves. It was a good day. I felt like I had accomplished something great J So things here have been going really well… I am so thankful for you all and the relationships and family that I have; it has truly been an incredible blessing to know that I have your support and encouragement J It is also nice that I have been able to make some new friends here as well. With the weather getting warmer that also means that I will be able to travel more and see more of Korea which is also really exciting! We are actually going to the Cherry Blossom festival tomorrow which should be breathtaking! Anywho, I just really wanted to send out an update to tell you all that I am so thankful for you and that I am doing really good J Love you all and miss you! Oh and I posted two videos of some of my kids… They are so precious to me! Love you all!!!! I hope to hear from you soon J
Wow they have a really good grasp of English. You must be a pretty good teacher
. Although, I think i’ll take their side and agree its Friday!! 
Cherry Blossom festival should be something. Kinda wish I could see it too. They say the ones in Japan are really huge and thats one of the heaviest tourist times there. Been wondering what time of the year i’ll be heading there in the future. I’m starting to realize how much there really is to see during the different months. I would like to see the snow festival in Hokkaido but then there are many other things.
Kinda warming up to the idea now of maybe spending longer there if God allows. My grasp on the language is getting better as i’m taking this class. Guess i’ll see in time what God has in store for me.
Ja mata!
