We have less than two weeks left of school. Some days it's hard to believe and other days not so hard. We say farewell to Korea on June 18th.
There is a lot
to get done in those two-ish weeks, including saying MANY goodbyes. One of the
most challenging things in living abroad is getting used to saying goodbye
often. Just this morning we said goodbye to our dearest couple-friends in Korea
– Erik and Breckan. Goodbyes from Korea can be so strange though. With some
people they feel very final, as though we may never see them again on this side
of Heaven. But with others it feels more like we’re saying “see you later,”
which is how it was with the Holst’s, thank goodness.
I’ve said it
before, but I’ll say it again. God has blessed us IMMENSELY with deep,
beautiful friendships in this country (and in many other ways too).

---------------------------------
BUSY BUSY! All
good things, just a lot of them. Somewhere in there we are supposed to pack and
say even more goodbyes. But God is good despite being busy!
Justin is
still applying for jobs. He has had multiple interviews, and now we are just
waiting to hear back from schools. Waiting is hard, but we are confident that
God is going to provide at the right time, because He always does. We have no
reason to worry or fear. Being a
worrier, this is quite freeing! J
On June 18th
we fly out of Busan to Rome where we will stay for a week! We then will make
our way to Venice with a night’s stop in Florence en route. After a few days in
Venice, we board a cruise that will take us to Croatia (Dubrovnik and Split) as
well as Athens and Ephesus before heading back to Venice. We fly out of Venice on July 6th and will land in Chicago that evening!
We look forward
to seeing many of you soon!
