Korea

Well, I'm in South Korea right now. I've been touring around Seoul for a week with my choir, and now I'm heading to Susies house till July 8th. So far my trip has been great! The weather has been very warm and muggy but no rain! I've gone to an old folk village, a gorgeous palace, and several open air markets here. The markets here are crazy! They sell lots of clothing and goods and sometimes fresh fish. It's pretty crowded here and people don't think it's at all rude to push and shove you out of their way. There's also lots of men on scooters weaving in and out of crowds and driving at suicidal speeds! I almost got ran over several times!

Korea makes for an interesting trasition to India. I know however crazy or dirty thinkgs seem here they will be ten times worse in India!

Well my friend is here to pick me up now. I gotta go! More later...

Plans for India

Hey Guys!
Thanks for checking out my new blog! Here I hope to record all my up-coming travels. I shall miss you all very much and hope to keep in touch with every one! I leave For South Korea this Sat. June 21st (on a school trip) and will be there for about 2 1/2 weeks. Then in mid July I will (if all continues to go well) head over to a children's orphanage in India. (My final destination being Rahamundry) I'm so excited for my up coming travels! It's been amazing seeing how God has just continued to open doors and pave the way for me to go!

I can't wait to get to India! The conditions there are appalling! The conditions people live in are animalistic at best! Once in India we will be helping set up the sponsorship program so that people out side of India can contribute to helping impoverished children get the nourishment, clothing, and Christian education they need. I will be staying at a children's orphanage for most of my stay in India, filling in where ever they need me. Possibly teaching and/or helping them learn English.

I will be in India until early September (if I decide to come home! lol). That's 2 1/2 months! I am praying that people will sponsor me month by month while I am over there. I really could use the support. If you are interested I'm thrilled! That's all the info I have for you now.

I'll post more up-dates soon!
