Hi Friends
July brought a cacophony of thoughts. Yong Hui and finished the Pre-Field Orientation course in Southhaven, Mississippi. We visited our daughter Tammy in Suwanee, Georgia (recently rated as the tenth best city to live in). We saw Chaplain Sir Walter and his wife Sandra Scott and their daughter Gina. The Scotts lived next to us in Panama. We visited friends from Worth County High School and spent the night with Command Sergeant Major (Ret) Russell and Christine Beard. We gave a presentation at First Baptist Church, Sylvester and renewed our friendships with many friends. We traveled to Valdosta, Georgia to spend the night with Reverend Dexter and Jeanie Wilson, dear friends from Sylvester. I hiked up Pikes Peak with a fellow teacher Sophie Yu, we made the trip (13 miles in distance and 7000 feet change in elevation one way) in 11 hours 30 minutes. I received and graded tests from my AP Biology class. I began my AP Biology Seminar at Cherry Creek High School in Denver. I prayed with many other prayer warriors around the world for the 22 South Korean hostages taken by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
We leave for Korea on 5 August to begin our second year in Uijongbu.
My AP Biology Students have been working hard to complete the 11 chapters that they have to finish before school starts. The Advanced Placement Biology class offers the students the opportunity to receive a college credit if they score well enough on the end of course test in May. We have 50 chapters in the book and to finish them by April, the students have to do some preliminary work which includes taking an on-line pretest. One student is complete and two more can smell the barn. Try one of these tests at :

There are several prayer requests and praises for us:
• Pray for traveling mercies as we return home to Korea
• Pray for me as I finish the Advanced Placement Biology course.
• Pray for a permanent job for Jason.
• Pray for wisdom for the decisions that Tammy has to make.
• Pray for my students in my physics classes, chemistry class, AP Biology class, and U.S. Military History Class
• Pray for the new Division Chaplain of the 2nd Infantry Division
• Pray for Pastor Richardson, Uijongbu Community Church and Pastors Vasel and Francis, Uijongbu Baptist Church
• Praise God for the blessings I have received at New Life Church, with the Gideons International, and with the International Christian School-Uijongbu

June 2007 Report
Hi Friends
June has come and gone. Hard to believe all that has happened in this short month. We finished school, came home for the summer, and then attended the Pre-Field Orientation course in Southhaven, Mississippi.
We still have some summer travel plans to do which will continue on 7 July when we go to Atlanta to visit Tammy and then we will continue on 11 July our friends in Sylvester, Georgia and in Valdosta, Georgia. We will return to Colorado and then the first week of August I have an AP Biology class to attend at Cherry Creek High School and then on 4 August we will return to Korea. Wow, it seems as if the next school year has already started.
Our school visited the Everland Theme Park on Memorial Day and we had a great day. Yong Hui really enjoyed the rose garden that boasted of over 10,000 roses. Pictured is one of the many presentations of the roses.
On 5 June I had a very interesting day as 10 of our students visited the project managed by my very first roommate at West Point. Jim Hickey and I were Beast Barracks roommates and he was hired by a company in Korea that is reclaiming thousands of acres of ocean land near Incheon, Korea. My students all enjoyed the visit. We have a picture of them at the construction site at the end of this letter.
We arrived in Colorado on 8 June and had a busy two weeks as I led one of the prayer segments for the Gideon International Day of Prayer on 9 June. We spent some time working on the yard and the house. We went to our nephew Shane’s wedding and somewhere in between we were able to play a round of putt putt golf and have fun with my brothers.
This PFO has been very valuable as nearly 150 teachers from 19 schools in 15 nations are in a suburb of Memphis to learn about all the things we need to know to teach in an international Christian school. It is funny that two of the speakers are from Colorado Springs. However, I think we needed to be here, not just talk with them in their offices at home.
There are several prayer requests and praises for us:
• Pray for traveling mercies as we go to South Georgia and then return home to Colorado
• Pray for me as I attend the Advanced Placement Biology course.
• Pray for a permanent job for Jason.
• Pray for wisdom for the decisions that Tammy has to make.
• Pray for us as we prepare for the next school year.
