Hi there.... I just wanted to send out a wee email to say hi to you all from SOUTH KOREA. I'm just sitting in my classroom on the 5th floor... looking out my windom - and seeing some high rise apartments... and then some houses... lots of hills... its quite a poor area we are in, so its quite a different view that id get out my window at home.
I am having an awesome time so far. I am teaching 14 beautiful children. They are very cool kids. Their english is improving.. i think.. so i'm encouraged. At first they would hardly talk, but they are really coming out of their shells now.
Today is saturday and we teach till lunch time. This afternoon the parents come in for afternoon- we get to meet them so that will be awesome.
On thursday night a group of us went to the city - we got to see some shops/markets. There were underground ones which were sooo tiny. Shops were the size of my bathroom. I managed to buy some socks... they are pretty cool over here.. so i'm going to stock up.
Tonight we are going to have dinner with John our boss.. we will be going to his house for a meal so that should be pretty fun.
We are all getting on well and enjoying being in a different culture.
I think that kids are the same everywhere... i sometimes dont feel like i'm in South Korea... kids love having fun.. and they respond so well to encouragement and time given to them.
I have been doing singing with the kids - a specialist class in the afternoons. Barak Zamar is now famous in Korea.. hehe... thanks guys.. they love the CHOCOLATE song.The kids are singing in ALL the time. I did sing the Jesus version with some kids yesterday and afew boys changed the name Jesus to Budda . Im believing that God will do poweful things in the coming weeks - that he would be made known, that the children would come to know him... and the leaders to.
Your prayer would be much appreciated.
Well.... My kids will be here soon....
I better go and get ready.
love and blessings to you all...
I hope you had a great start to the year.
love..
katie
