Sights I am looking forward to seeing...

I wanted to share a few photos of faces/sights that I am looking forward to seeing in the city. While transitions are often hard, blessings abound in the new things He is doing as well! Here are a few of the simple things in the city that He gives me joy through:

The Muslim district. I am looking forward to stalking people here (ha). Shown here are people at a mosque slaughtering sheep for an Islamic festival.


Conversations in broken language with the friendly locals. This conversation occured in a park, of which there are many in the city (though perhaps not as green as I am used to seeing!). They are great places to meet people!

Yummy cuisine. My favorite is a Korean import....Korean barbecue. Relatively healthy, and wonderfully seasoned! I don't even like meat that much, but this converts me!

Sweet friendships. I am blessed to be able to reconnect with old friends, and I am eagerly anticipating new ones that are awaiting!
Friends, I hope that in whatever season you are in, be it of transition, waiting, or joy that you find sustainment in Him. He holds all things together, He blesses with every good and perfect thing, and they are not to be found apart from Him. These are things I am speaking to myself, and I hope they are truths that you are clinging to!

A Pre-Departure Update

Hey everyone!

Leslie and I are leaving in 12 days, which is crazy, but I am getting more excited in spite of many little logistical things that need to get done.

We will be spending some time at orientation in a different city upon our arrival, before heading on to our final destination.

We also recently found out that we will have the opportunity to help teach at an English camp for university students almost immediately when we arrive, which is an exciting opportunity for us to meet some friends!

Thanks for remembering us!
