Day One

Today I was given my first true taste of what I will be doing in the country for the next _____ months. And I can say that it is going to be an interesting time. If it will go as smoothly as today, I can say that I am not too worried.

In addition, a conversation arose today about what other activities I am going to be participating while I am here. It is looking like a very good option (and I am very excited) that I will be teaching English courses (just like good 'ole Korea) for OAZA. The other option is to help start a youth group in the church. This one is a little more time consuming, because I would have to start from scratch. Now, even though I worked with a youth group in Ohio, it was a thriving youth group, and I have little experience building a youth group. If you have any advice what-so-ever (start-up advice or articles to read) I, and the kids, would greatly appreciate it.

All my bags are packed...

I'm ready to go. I have purchased my ticket and am very excited to report that I will be departing on the 24th of September. This has been such a remarkable journey, so far, watching God work in amazing ways. Thank you, to everyone who has supported me.

I am looking forward to being able to give real updates of what I am doing, being that I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to be doing. All I know is that I'm going to do my best to be a blessing and use my gifts, talents, and knowledge in whatever ways God is willing to work.
