• One Month to Go! Monday July 21st

  In case anyone is counting along with us, we have one month until our return to the good 'ol USA.  And while we've had a tremendous experience here in Korea, it has sure made us thankful for our American passports. 

  This past week was filled with English camps and we're back at it again this week.  Brad is at an all day camp for Elementary students and I'm doing half day camps for middle schoolers.  The camps can be a little grueling just because it's a long time to spend in one room together - especially when there is such a huge language barrier.  However, it's a smaller group of students and for the most part, they are really excited to be there.

  Last week was our last days teaching in our middle/high schools and we said goodbye to all our students.  In one class the students brought in food and we had a little goodbye party, it was quite touching.  Their mother's had ordered hamburgers from the local Lotteria (Korea's version of McDonalds with a Korean twist) and some soda.  We all chowed down on hamburgers at 9:45 AM.  We were given several gifts by the students and one of Brad's students wrote him a note (using impressive English skills) to say goodbye.  It left us feeling loved.

  We enjoyed a great dinner on Saturday night with one my fellow teachers and his wife.  It was a wide assortment of veggies and whole fish.  We had a great time enjoying their company.  We tried to catch the movie Batman on Sunday in Daegu, but it doesn't arrive in Korea until sometime in August, so we'll have to wait on that.

  My sister Whitney turned 25 years old yesterday on the 20th, so Happy Birthday Whitney! I love you and miss you!
