community

thank you to all those demanding folks out there... here is your new post. (actually it's just my siblings.) and really, there isn't much to tell.

it's a new week and it started out well. on sunday mornings i meet up with amanda and her part-time roommate marge to go to life church. our bus ride from suji to suwon is about 40 mins-if traffic is decent. church continues to be a highlight of my week. its been great to get back into english worship (even though i still feel that spanish worship is what heaven's like) and listening to a sermon in english is just top-notch, haha. in case you didn't pick up on it...teddy didn't come to church this week. he and most of my coworkers went on a ski outing sat-sun. he told me to ask him again next week and to keep asking... so please continue to pray with me.

one of the hard things about living in an international community is the turnover. and korea is no different. this week life church had a "despedida" for one of its couples. and while i don't know them, the general sadness got to me and reminded me of my past SCS community. it's been a while since i've been in this kind of community, and i can feel myself quickly needing to adjust back to numbness when it comes to goodbyes. on a brighter note... every week life church brings in new people. it's such a blessing to have new friendships being formed each week.

there is a new sense of busyness at school. the year is ending, graduation is coming, a new semester is beginning and new teachers will be arriving. to add to the lovely work atmosphere, our boss decided to ban us from using computers at work. we'll see how long that lasts. there are only 3 of us left that remember the last ban, so it might last a little longer... while i wouldn't say that i was smiling finding out this news, i did see the positive difference that came as a result. during 5, 10, 40 minute breaks coworkers were more apt to talk to one another than all split off and check facebook or the latest sports' scores. oh, and other work news: jon has decided to declare himself head foreign teacher. haha. he's bribing/blackmailing me to go along with it... i get his current desk if i play nice. if not, he'll give it to morgan. grrr! haha, only one more month and then he's out the door! ... ... actually. i will miss him.
