This blog is about my journey to Korea! While I am there I will be teaching conversational English and living in two different Korean homes. This is a once in a lifetime chance to go on an adventure across the world! I am SO blessed!

Korea is almost here!

21 days till Korea!
I am so excited to go! Last night we got to meet the city council last night. It was such a honor to be introduced to the council and shake hands with Mayor Andy Hafen! Bob Cooper said that "He couldn't have picked a better group than the 6 of us!" Myself, Judit, Schyler, Zach, Travis, and Krista are going to be Youth Ambassadors for the City of Henderson. The six of us will be teaching conversational English to Korean 3-6th grade students.

It was awesome- I have always known the Korean's to be big on gift giving. But never did I think we would get gifts before we even got there! Last night we got a gift bag full of 2 informational books on Korean Culture, a dvd, and a whole bunch of post cards so that we can write our family/friends while we are away.

I am now looking forward to our FUNdraiser that is on Saturday. We are doing a scavenger hunt for the six of us to raise some spending money and pay bills while we are gone. We got a lot of people to donate things for prizes! We will have Lance Burton tickets, Area 51s tickets, gift cards, cash prize, and lots more! I hope lots of teams sign up! I think it will be a blast!

Well hopefully I can get a picture of us all with the city council last night. As soon as I do I will post it up :)
