No time to say hello; goodbye...

It seems like there's always quite a gap in my blogging. It always seems like forever since the last time I wrote. I'm not sure if its because I don't do it often or because I'm not really into writing updates. I'll make an attempt at an update...

There never really seems to be much new news to tell about life around here. The school year is just as challenging as ever. There are more challenges this year than I ever would have thought. The attitudes of some of the students have been less than desirable. Please just pray for the attitudes of them and for the rest of the school year.

Matt and I and another teacher from the school are still planning on going to India over spring break to look at a facility for future mission trips. Matt and I already have our visas and, as far as I know, Alexa has hers too.

Please pray that we find affordable tickets to India. We haven't been able to find anywhere to give us airline prices yet. One (of the two affordable places here) told us they wouldn't have prices until the middle of March (and spring break is the second week in April), plus, they won't give us our whole flight. She said we could just pick up our connecting flight off the internet.

Matt and I are hopefully going to check out ticket prices from somewhere else. We're still exploring options with some other travel agents in Seoul that friends of friends have used.

School is school and being the high school English department is a tedious task. I don't have anyone to run ideas off of or to ask questions to. It's also intimidating that next year, I'll be the senior staff member of the secondary group. Scary...

The school itself is in constant need of prayer. We still have eight of the ten positions open for next year. We've got basically our entire elementary school open along with three secondary positions and our art position. We could be in serious trouble if we don't get these positions filled. We need all the prayer support we can get, pretty much because we can't offer the benefits and the perks that some of the other schools can. We're just a little school in the middle of a rice paddy. There's little incentive for people who are looking for perks on the mission field.

I guess that's about all the updates I've got for now.
