A few weeks ago, I received an
email from Connexus asking if I would consider delaying my departure from the
original plan of August to the end of September or October this fall. While the afterschool program there is
growing steadily, they now have enough teachers to get by until October, when
new students will join the program. They
were very gracious and told me that if this is too inconvenient, they would
love to have me in August as first planned.
While I was very excited about the quickly approaching move, I saw no
point in me going if I was not yet needed. (Besides, the thought of having a
few extra months at home sounded great - not to mention relieved a little
stress.) And so, I agreed to wait till this fall to fly over.
In the meantime, I am continuing
work at my retail job, learning more about the Korean language and culture (in
hopes of avoiding at least a little culture shock ;), and soaking up every
minute spent with my family and friends.
My prayer is that God will use this extra time at home to prepare my
heart and mind for whatever it is that lies ahead this year in South Korea
