Happiness is being in Korea

The school is going pretty good. Things are normal and I'm having fun with the class I'm teaching. Friday of course was a fun time with the kinders. Katie and decided to merge our class and we would teach science together. Kelly came and watched us. They did pretty well for it being such a hard thing. We got them to understand the difference between dark and light which was the only thing that wasn't over their head. They made these kielidoscope thingies to look at the light with. We forgot to take this clear sticker off, so they don't work like they should, but I don't think they knew the difference. We took them over to the park to look at the sun, but it was cloudy, so that didn't go over too well. Then we walked over to a founation and we took off our shoes and socks and played in the foutain. It's is such much fun to walk around in it. There was another school there, but the teacher wouldn't let them play in the founatian they had to watch us. The kids were so funny they would hold up their shorts, so they wouldn't get wet it was funny.
Friday night I went out with Erik (my co-worker). We meet up with some of his friends and we went to a few different place and met a lot of people. It is good. I meet both Korean and Westerners. It was fun. We stay out until the subway started running the next morning. I enjoyed myself.
Saturday, I met up with Suzanne again. She took me to a singles group from another church. The group is mostly Westerners, there are a few Koreans. It's a great group. They have lunch, then a bible study, then some fellowship time and then some go out and other stick around. It is ran by a pastor and his wife. They aren't Jesse and Laura, and they group of people are nothing like the college group, but they are good subsitute for the time I'm here.
Sunday I went back to Yongsan. I don't know if I like. They don't have Tony who finds people to make sure you feel welcome. They have some fellowship times planned and I'll give a try. It's isn't like Royal Palms or Trinity. I don't really feel like it matters if I am there or not. They sing hyms, which makes miss Jackie, even though I know she isn't at church right now. I'll keep going and hope things change.
I'm doing well. I'm happy and just taking things in. It is feeling more normal everyday. I like it here.
I've notice that God is changing my heart and my passion. When I changed my major to Elementary Ed back in 2002, my heart and passion were children and teaching them. The only thing I ever thought about was reaching, teaching, and loving children. However, now that I am a teacher. I've begun to see that teachers need a lot of help and support. It doesn't really matter where in the world you. Teachers aren't treated as well as they should be. God is placing it on my heart to be someone who will take care of teachers. I'm not a place where I can do that know, but I really think God wants to help out teachers. So if God calls me back to the states, I'll work and take my career in a path that will lead to being able to help out teachers. I'll work to becoming a mentor teacher. If God calls to stay aboard, I'll be there for those that come to teach English. I think this why I felt so uncertain about the direction of my life this summer. I knew something big was coming I just didn't forsee this. This doesn't mean that I'm walking away from children. I think that as some who helps teachers, you need to be with the little ones. They hold a piece of my heart, my passion is becoming teachers and that is fine.
I think you are all wonderful. I really think it is great that you care for me.
I go to immgration this week for an exestion on my visa and then hopefully Jessica will get me to Tokoyo soon. Those of you that are praying for this thank you.
I've posted more pictures.
