NUMBERING OUR DAYS
Most of you who read this blog know that we will soon be leaving South Korea. June 12 is our scheduled departure date (it's also our arrival date in Ohio). One week of school remains; then we have a teachers' work week. Sorting and packing still awaits us.The Lord has given us wonderful opportunities of service here. We have made many friends--both Koreans and ex-pats from many places around the world. One of the most exciting things has been to experience the instant bond of Christian love and fellowship with other believers even when we couldn't clearly communicate. We are truly thankful to the Lord for the door of opportunity that He opened to us here in Seoul.
We are looking forward to some family time in June. Jerred, Joanna, and AJ will be in Ohio for a couple of weddings. Marti will also be able to come to Ohio part of that time. Now if we could just get Joel and Gina over from Germany!
Regarding our plans for next year, we have accepted positions at Ferndale Baptist School in Charleston, South Carolina. I guess it's time to brush up on our "Southern," y'all!
For those of you who pray for us, we would make a few requests. Please pray for our re-adjustment to the U.S. I don't think the change will be that dramatic, at least for Elizabeth and me, but we have been living a somewhat different life here in Seoul. I'm sure the most noticeable changes will be positive--less pollution, noise, and fewer people, for instance.
Other requests involve the setting up again of our household. When we left four years ago, we gave away, threw away, or sold nearly all our belongings. Upon returning, we will need a vehicle. We will also have to acquire all home furnishings from dishes to beds. We're actually quite excited; we feel like newlyweds again! We have also learned that we don't need a lot of things. Possessions can certainly become possessors if we are not careful.
We look forward to seeing many of you again.
