It has been nearly 6 weeks since my last update (though I just published the last update today)... I am in Korea. In fact I have been here for 3 weeks (but 4 Sundays). It is amazing. It is exhausting. When people asked who and what I was teaching a few weeks ago, I did not have an answer... now I know. I am teaching 7 yr olds (for now, all girls) all of the subjects, except Art and Music, and I am teaching in English. Before anyone asks; Yes, I have students who do not speak English,and yes it is horribly frustrating. I have already finished my first week of solo teaching, as I am finishing the semester for the teacher I am replacing.
I am sorry for not being able to keep everyone updated with life. My first 2 weeks in Seoul, I was blessed to be at an Air BnB with the sweetest family, and was able to use their Internet a bit... but for the last week I have been reletively Internet less. While I have it at work, there is no downtime right now as I am getting my bearings, so I am relegated to my ultra week data signal (my neighborhood is a new development, so infrastructure is there, but not like in Seoul) or to sitting in cafes and using their wifi...which is mighty expensive all the time.
The good news is.... I have free texting here in South Korea (it is a benefit of our current family plan in the states, so it will eventually be going away) So feel free to text anytime!
The church hunt is still onging, but stalled due to lack of Internet. I found a church that actually preaches the Word, which is more rare than you might think. I really like it, but it takes about 90mins, 3 subway transfers, and a mile uphill walk to get to... So I am looking for somewhere closer that may allow for easier community and fellowship since 3 hrs of travel for a community group during the week is probably not happening... please pray for me. That I would hear and listen to God's will and not my own in this.
Love you all,
Brei
