One Month!!

I have officially been in South Korea for one month. I can't believe it!! While it took awhile to get adjusted to my new life here, I'm still amazed by how much time flies. It definitely doesn't feel like I've been here for that long already. I've already had so many great experiences, and I anticipate having many more.

I woke up early this morning to get on Skype and talk with Nicole, one of my wonderful friends back in Orlando :) It was such a great way to start off my morning. I love being able to connect with people and swap stories and catch up on life and ask for prayer-all over Skype :) It has definitely become something that I've looked forward to since I've been here. Since I'm on "Summer Vacation" for five days, I have a number of Skype dates lined up back-to-back with my friends and family back home. It has just been so good to hear from people. I left Orlando about a month and a half after I graduated from UCF, so a lot of my friends were still in the process of finding jobs and figuring out their next steps. It's such a blessing to Skype with them now and hear how God has worked in their lives and provided for them. New roommates, new cities, new jobs. It's all so exciting, and I love that I'm still able to be a part of it from far away :)

Shannon, one of my friends from Wesley, is going to be joining me in Korea on August 16th. Technically, she LEAVES on August 16th, but with all the layovers and changing flights and the time change, I assume I'll see her around the 19th, once she gets settled in. She's teaching English at a different private school than me, about 20 minutes away. It's so good that we will be living near each other, and it will be nice to see another familiar face :)

It was another rainy day today. It wasn't the torrential downpour like it has been; just a steady rain. From what I hear, Monsoon Season typically ends at the beginning of August. I'm hoping that in the next few weeks I'll be able to enjoy some sunshine and nice weather. :)
