Answers to Prayer

Before I begin, you will come to find out that there are many exclamation points in the following post.  If you can count the correct number of them, we will give you a pat on the back next time we see you.  The correct answer will be revealed (hopefully we will remember) in the next post!

The reason for the excessive exclamation points is because of the huge change of our stress level in the last 2 days!

Tonight we got to Skype with an administrator at BFS, and we were able to get answers to all of our questions!  First of all, we found out that I don't have to get a Visa after all!  He explained the entire process to us, and I won't get a Visa until we are in Korea, and I will still be able to work!  The job I will have will most likely not be a Full-Time salaried job, but it will be a paycheck!! Yay! :)

Second, he told us that since we will both be working at BFS, he went ahead and got us a 2 bedroom apartment!  Otherwise, we would have had a studio, so that's a huge praise!! Our apartment will be fully furnished, including all kitchen essentials, although we were advised to bring our own pillows.  He also said that our apartment is only a 5 minute walk from the school!

Justin also was able to get a lot of things clarified about teaching 3rd grade in Korea, and they are putting him in contact with the current 3rd grade teacher to help him prepare for the next school year.

The other exciting news is that the school will also be issuing us our own lap tops, complete with Rosetta Stone so that we can learn Korean!  Thank goodness we didn't fork over the $400 to buy it ourselves...

We have started looking at flights, and it looks like we could be taking off as soon as August 8th!  Apparently flying half way around the world gives you just the slightest bit of jet lag.  Who knew?  We want to be as adjusted to the time difference as we can before we start working on the 20th.

That's all for now.  It may be a while until we have further updates, but we always welcome and appreciate questions and emails about what's going on!  Thanks again for your prayers!  How great to have a God who hears our prayers and answers them!
