pictures.

Traveling I realized many of my items are green... my coat, my luggage, my Nalgene bottle, my computer case. Good thing I have something blue!

the fabulous camp shirts.



They started construction at LTU this will be the third new building.


Welcome banner to the camp!

Camp theme. they have these great bight banners

They cover the rose bushes with straw to keep them during the winter.

Jane and I went to the grocery store. Jane is the other volunteer teacher for the camp this time.

welcome home.

I am here in Korea.
After traveling for 25 hours, yes 25, I made it here safely. I don't think I will ever get over motion sickness no matter how many times I travel or how old I get. But I watched a few movies on the plane and slept. It was okay.
In Korea I arrived 9:45pm Monday night after getting myself on a bus to get to Luther University, I was pretty proud of myself but Patrick gave me great instructions. Patrick is the LCMS missionary in Seoul.
Monday night, Karla gave me quick instructions and Dr. Roh gave me a big bottle of water! and I hit the bed. (and I have a roommate for 1.5 weeks, Melinda- she is from MN and went to Concordia St. Paul, her roommate is the president's daughter here and she came to visit.)
So today after waking up at 5am, unpacking, and snoozing again for a bit I started teaching. Not really having planned anything, or rather having planned nothing... I dove right in. And Karla gave me something to do, which I loved doing last time was to make a ppt of the Bible Lesson for the day, Jesus turns water into wine. It was pretty simple to whip up- her having found some pictures already! So I will make some more as I get time the remaining weeks.
Teaching was easy enough to get back into, I am glad this happened to me who has been here before.
When I got here in the morning several people said "hI" to me and "welcome back", and a few said "welcome home" which made me feel good being here again.

It looks very different around without bushy trees and frost. Its chilly like the Lou and was about -1* when I awoke again this morning at about 7am.

I have much planning to get back into and am teaching 5 out of 6 sessions of the day. My morning classes have 16, 17, 18 kids in them and my afternoon has 4 and 4. Its such a big dynamic having different amounts of kids in the classes. about 6 of the kids I taught last time, so it was nice to see familiar faces.

I ate dumplings for lunch and thought of my favorite little restaurant in Dallas.

Pictures are soon to come as I have more time to snap and all.

Please pray for the children that they are able to understand us and learn our teachings, please pray of us teachers as we are able to communicate the lessons and Bible stores. and please pray that the children get some understand of the bible lessons as many of them have never heard of Jesus or do not got to church.

Things are a bit crazy as we canceled my Visa order with a few bumps in the road and trying to get my Passport back so I can leave tomorrow at 6am on a booked flight. But God puts these little road blocks up for reasons. So my mom is being frantic and trying to get my passport as I am okay with the backup plan of changing my flight to leave on Sat. night. Two more days of nothing to do can't kill me too much. And at least I have been to Korea before and kind of know whats going on over there. So at least this didn't happen my first time.
More to post when I receive my passport back.

back.

I am going back to Korea to teach and I am very excited about it. I booked my plane ticket today and started reading a book LCMS sent me about traveling as a missionary!
