Just a little update!

So I don't have a whole lot to update you on, but definitely wanted to say thanks to Mark who got Skype set up so I could talk to a bunch of you at Kara's house on Thanksgiving! It blessed me tremendoulsy, so THANKYOU!

Today was a really rainy day in Seoul- I walked out of my hotel without looking and it was POURING! I noticed everyone, and I mean EVERYONE had an umbrella around me, so I'm thinking "Hmmmm I think I should get one of those!" So even though I was running late for my meeting, I ran into the store and bought a cute little red umbrella. But, um, hello! I can't tell you the last time I used an umbrella..... like Kindergarten, maybe?! So I felt really lame when I couldn't figure out how to open the thing.... wow, and I'm a teacher? Haha. : )

Also today, I found out I will finally move into my apartment next Saturday... Dec. 1. Even though it's more than a week away, it's nice to finally have an end in sight for hotel living!

So, please keep me in prayer as I start teaching on Monday (yes, very excited, but also VERY nervous), I have the extremely daunting task of heading to Japan for a Visa run on Wednesday, and then moving on Saturday. This will be pretty intensive, especially as I seriously won't know what I'm doing the entire time.... nothing will be of the "norm" but it's all for the sake of adventure, right?!

I am so excited though because I think I've found a church! I'm going to a church called Youngnak (located in the middle of Seoul) and spent some time talking with the Pastor today and got in touch with a few of the members. I'm so excited to have this fellowship again and to spend some time with people! There's actually a girl who is from Boise who goes there, so I can't wait to meet her! Actually a few funny things about Boise... one of the Koreans who works at my school actually asked me if we had cars in Boise or "Where I come from". I was laughing so hard when he asked me if we got around by horses or donkeys. Yeah! Go Idaho! The other interesting thing about "Where I come from"... I was watching CNN the other night and they went on to talk about the top 5 "Political Turkies" of the year... and who made #2? None other than our very own Senator Larry Craig. It was then I realized really how terribly he has put us on the map!

Earlier this week, my new baby cousin was born - meet Keylie Joe Christensen!

Wish I could be there but I'm so excited!

Well, that's all for now... I don't really have any pictures to update you with - sorry. I'll try to remember to take pictures of my school for you guys though next week.

Love you all - have a great weekend!

Be Blessed!
