Prayer requests and updates

I feel like there is so much happening lately, but when I actually stop to reflect, it is more that living is a new sort of different and honestly almost nothing of concequence is happening. The biggest news of the week is that my INTERNET is FINALLY is working in my apartment. So I will hopefully be less detached from both the US and Korean happenings. Still waiting for my ARC, so no phone (Korean) or bank account (Korean), hopefully by sometime next week those will be taken care of as well.
On a typical Korean Tuesday, I would be getting home from work and planning dinner, but today is special; It is LIBERATION DAY here in Korea. As it is a national holiday, I have they day off of work, and have used today as a day of recuperation. (I am tired all the time. While, I would like to blame it on the stress of work and moving, I honestly believe it is because I have the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever slept on for a bed. While I am thankful for a place to sleep, I struggle to get good sleep lately.)

Friends who have graciously asked about life and prayer requests, thank you. I am sorry if I seem distant or shallow in my response. I am generally overwhelmed by the amount of prayer I, and my fellow teachers are in need of. I am generally spared from to much interaction with the parents of my students, which means my co-teacher is generally thrust into the path of all parent complaints or frustrations. This past week a mother when confronted with her own child's misbehavior, turned the situation around, blaming the Korean teacher and myself, going so far to say that the other teacher was not married because of her abilities and would not be a good teacher until she had children of her own. (For the record, her daughter intentionally kicked another student who climbed under the desktop retrieve something) When someone makes grand illogical assumptions and conclusions, I can generally ignore them, but my co-teacher was deeply hurt, so much so, I thought she might turn in her resignation. Losing her in our class would be devastating. While our personalities and teaching styles are very different, we both work and operate out of love for our students and a desire to see them succeed, and my teaching would suffer greatly without her.
I have been blessed with a class of 7 yr old girls. They have strong emotions and opinions, deep frustrations about being misunderstood. They are expected, some for the first time, to have real responsibilities away from home (like classwork). They can usually forgive quickly, which is good because they get hurt quickly.  Their parents long to protect them from everything still, but generally have to entrust a large portion of their child's day into out hands. So while my class struggles to get used to being full time students and not preschoolers, I have noticed their parents are also learning and struggling to learn how to handle this time in their child's life.
Most of my students and their parents are not Christians,they chose our school because it teaches in English only. My prayer is that my students, would hear and learn the truth of the Gospel, and not just English.
