What's all this talk about India?

So many have noticed that I'm going to Karnataka, India here very shortly. My church here in Seoul has planned a mission trip and I get to take part. My church is taking about 10 to go into India. We all have a different role and different places we will be. Tracey and I will be working at the orphanage. We will have 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours after school. We will also go into the village and spend team with street children there. I've come up with some English lesson for the children. I'm very excited to be going. Pastor Jack and Pastor Dan will be preaching in house churches. We also have some women who are RN's and will be able to give some shots out. We will be able to help out in many ways. The orphanage has been trying to dig a well since about mid November. They have been having problems with their pump. Hopefully, we will be able to help them out with getting this fixed.
SIBC has been in contact and helping out these pastors in India a few years now. We help out in ways we can. We've been able to help out by getting bibles for the house churches, and backpacks for the kids. David and Marci are in charge of the children's home. They have about 114 children and only get enough money for about 60 children. However, they children are well taken care. David and Marci mange the money well, so that everyone and everything is taken care of. JD and Ruth are the founders of the Faith Baptist Fellowship which is all the house churches under JD. He goes into cities preaching the word of God and then as people come to beleive he trains pastors to run house churches. SIBC has seen there job as to come along side JD and help him out.

I must admit

Let me start with a declaimer. You do not have to read this. I'm in need of an outlet and as most of you have learned this is where I outlet.

For the most part, I don't miss James a lot. Most days, I'm so busy with teaching and every other weekend, I'm at the Turners'. However there are some days, where that is all I do is miss him. I feel that way today. I think 6 months is far away and I can't possibly wait that long to be with him. I very much want to be him. He makes me feel special and loved. He does it well from AL, but I liked it more when he was here. It's better. I try to tell myself that it's only 6 months. It's under 200 days, it's not that long. But it doesn't matter, I want to be near him and close to him. I would like it if he could hold me right now.

So yea, it's hard to be away from the one you love with all your heart.

Sorry, I'm trying to keep myself busy.

I've been so busy trying to distract myself. I haven't really had to time to blog. I know that many of you look for my blogs and I'm sorry. It's hard being away from James. I find myself missing him when I'm not busy or with my friends, so I've decided to keep myself busy.

The weekend of 3/21, was a single's weekend. By this time we all know what comes down right. Spending the weekend at Pastor's.

The weekend of 3/28, I went on base and had my hair done with Mary Beth and Anita.

The weekend of 4/4, was another single's weekend.

I got to go to the 18th Annual Korean-American Friendship Concert. It was really great. I got to her some tradintional music, the biggest Korean singer, sang two songs, the 8th army band (Mary Beth's, not James' old band), and I heard the Blind Heart Chamber, they are the first all blind chamber group. They were amazing.

I've spend a couple of night hanging out with Jason. One weekend it was Jason, Mary Beth, Anita, and Q (a korean). Another weekend Jason, Sam (a korean friend of Jason) and his girlfriend went out together. I always go somewhere for lunch after church on Sundays. Sonya is back, so the past few, I've gone to lunch with her. Josh (amry guy) brought us on base and we got to have good american beef. One Tuesdays, and Thursday, I've started going to language exchange with Gerrard (new teacher) and some of the Korean teachers. I'm helping them learn english more than I'm learning Korean. Last night I taught Gerrard a pick-up line in Korean. It translate as it hurts here, please kiss me. The teachers had a good laugh that I knew that. They are also were amazed that I knew blood. However I can ask for a bloody nose in Korean. On Wednesday, I meet with Mary Beth. I call it a mid-week pick me up. We get together and read the proverb of the day and talk.

The weather here is amazing, it's starting to feel like spring. The cherry blossoms are blooming and the look great. I might go over to the park before I teach Andy and Kathy and take some pictures. I really am enjoying things. It's quite fun to be here. There is so much to do and I'm having tons of fun teaching my students. I love my kinders. I'm planning on bloging about my class. I enjoying teaching my afternoon class. I have three and they are pretty good kids. They like to mess around and have fun, and we do sometimes, but we also get our work done.

I'm getting ready to go to India. I'll be going in May. I'm looking forward to do some missions work. I really can't wait to play with children. It's exciting to think about what I'll be doing there.

As for James, I talk to him on Saturdays. I e-mail often, and I've probably sent him more flair then he knows what to do with. I do miss him from time to time. I find a place to eat or go and think, it would be nice to come here with James. I'm counting down the days until I see him again. It is hard to be away from someone you love. He amazes me most days. He say things in e-mails or over the phone that makes me feel so special. He sent me a package and a card. In the package was reese's eggs. Both milk chocolate and white chocolate. The card had a picture of him with his trumpet. He looks great in it.

Well, I guess that's it for now. Thanks for praying and thinking of me. I have 5 months left. :)
