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.
