As we get
closer to our departure date, we get increasingly more excited about this new
adventure we are going to be starting in just over 2 months! We have been busy beginning to pack up our
life in Upland and our little house on Bragg Avenue. It’s bittersweet to pack things away…realizing
how soon we are leaving and how soon we will have to say goodbye to so many
loved ones. But we are so excited about
what is to come, how we will grow, how we will be challenged, and how God will
use us!
We were
finally able to purchase our plane tickets and will be flying out of Ft Wayne
on Saturday morning, August 11th.
After about 22 hours of travel, we will land in Busan on Sunday night
their time. We then will have just over
a week to get adjusted to the time zone and to start to get a feel for our new
city. The first day of school for new
teachers is August 20th. We
are both excited about this date because now we are both going to be teaching
full time at BFS!
I (Megan)
was recently offered the position of full-time Nursery teacher! So I will be
spending my days teaching a class of 3 year olds – yes teaching, not
babysitting! I will actually be teaching
them math, phonics, some science and social studies, as well as crafts, PE, and
yoga. Yes, I will be teaching yoga,
which will be very interesting since I don’t even do yoga myself. Thank you, YouTube for having such a huge
selection of videos that I can watch and then potentially mimic.
This job is
such a blessing! I had just been telling
Justin how I wished I knew what I would be doing there. I knew I would have some sort of job, I just
didn’t know what. The very next morning,
I received an email from the principal about this job for me! It is the same pay as Justin and I will
receive all the same benefits! Thank
you, Lord, for providing even more for us than we imagined!
By the way, there were 17 exclamation points in the last pots, in case you counted. :)
Philippians
4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his
glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
