highlights from the past month:
1) ruth's advanced kids finished little house on the prairie!!! they are now working on farmer boy and learning even MORE vocabulary. :)
2) jody is learning to work with his bosses and co-workers, slowly but surely. (no fist-fights yet. woohoo.)
3) we had a 5 day break for the lunar new year. we went with some church friends to a ski/snowboarding resort and had fun. (i.e. jody got good at snowboarding and ruth slept and read. it was fabulous.)
4) ruth started helping out with the little children at church on sunday (once? twice? a month). lots of activity! lots of korean and english spoken. but new friendships are being made and more opportunities to serve arise.
5) jody started helping with the soundboard at church during the service. he did pretty well for his first service, and we're excited to see how good he can get.
6)jody finished the month of january intensives - working split shifts - successfully and is now back to working similar hours with ruth (roughly 2/3-10pm). we're both happy to have the same schedule once again!
7) we went to itaewon again and met jody's cousin mckenzie and her husband sam, who is here in korea with the military. it was great to connect with new family so far away from home!
8) a package from jody's mom arrived - full of candy, girl scout cookies, some clothes for ruth and new croc shoes for jody. we love packages. passionately.
9) we are very interested in the political race back home. so is the rest of the world. koreans have decided (based on no real knowledge, i am positive) that obama is the best.
what is the feel back home? major controversy?
pictures will come soon!
love to you all.
