The rain comes and then after the sun

God gives me rain because he knows how much I loves it. How much it makes me smile. I rained on birthday and my last day in Phoenix. It was raining when I woke up this morning.

Today was the first day of school. I have three kinders in my class they are the youngest and lowest in the school. To most people this would not be encouraging. To me, this is wonderful it's how I like it. It was fun to be teaching again. The people I work with are really kinda nice. Christine is nice and helpful. She seem like she'll be helpful. Erick is a nice guy. He doesn't seem like he'll be much help when it comes to teaching, but someone to explore Korea with. Mike, while, for his sake I'm not going to form an opionion of him. I'm going to chalk everything into being a bad for him. It was very clear that his morning wasn't good and nothing was getting better.

Now to address the things that discourage me and how I am no longer discourage by them. Katie's apartment doesn't look so small. I am by myself so doesn't need to big and I'm only in it for a year, not the rest my life. However it will need touches to make it feel like home and I will work on doing that. The lack of teacher guides, it's not really problem. It's just that sometimes I forget that God gave me the gift of teaching. When God gives the gift of teaching, you don't need teacher guides. They do make things easier, but I'm here so God can grow me and lack of teacher guides will grow me. As for the planning I got it done. The getting paid thing, I talked with Kelly after work and she shined some light on it. The girl who left because she didn't get paid was here for three months and still didn't have her visa, so they couldn't pay anymore. All the paperwork in which to get my visa is already being processed by the Korean government. Which means I'll get paid.

That last paragraph in my last blog was about things I thought were different. They didn't really discourage, I was just making notes of some of things I noticed that was different from the life I am use to and the life I am no living.

I'm kinda lonely and I miss you guys. If you can get time off and can afford the flight feel free to come see me. I love you guys a lot. Those of you who have been encouraging thank you. I'm beginning to see that God sent the right person. This school needs some improvements and Kelly said that if I have input on things I should give it. However I will wait until I've been here a little longer before I point the things I as teach know are not the best practice for kids to be learning english.
