in the classroom
yesterday we began teaching... the kids are adorable bundles of energy. we are struggling a bit with fatigue. every day we've been working from 10 am till 9 pm, prepping and teaching, but once this week is over and a rhythm has been established, we should only be teaching/working from 1 pm-9 pm. there are breaks in between, in which we scurry over to a local restaurant or order in food. those are the times we use to check our e-mail as well, so please forgive us if we haven't responded yet to your many wonderful letters. we love getting mail from you and will write as soon as we can! tomorrow we go to get our alien registration cards, after which we'll be able to get internet at home, as well as satellite and a cell phone connection. things are coming together :) we are looking forward to hiking in the nearby mountains this coming weekend. we are comfortably settled into our tiny apartment, which is surprisingly luxurious. it has rich hardwood flooring, air conditioning, heated floors, and a beautiful balcony. as well, if anyone wants to visit, we have a small 'guest room' extending off of our balcony. well, it's off to class for now. itta peke semneeda! (see you later, in korean)

Hey!!
I'm sooo glad you blogged, I was beginning to worry about you two! =)
I'm glad to hear things are going so well, I'll pray for rest for you, hiking will be amazing!!!
The kids sound cute -- I'm trying to picture them, all baby-chubby and small... anyways, thinking of you and missing you!
Love,
A.
Your appartment sounds awesome! Just beautiful and perfect for you two. And I totally understand about all the hours of prepping. And you are right Em. Once you set a routine and have an idea of what you are doing it will go much smoother and be much less work. That is so wierd that you teach until 9:oo at night. At least it gives you the fresh morning to wander around and do cool things. I can't beleive you are already learning Korean words. That is too cool. Anyway, Thanks for the email Trent. It was soo you I couldn't help but tear up a bit. And also, thanks for reminding me why Em writes most of the emails. Much more detail, so keep up the good work Em. Love you both.
To live is the greatest adventure there is
Peter Pan knew what he was talking about!
Emily and Trent it was so good to see you at Keith's weding - but please don't let yourselves get worn out like that again -We love you and need you to be taking care of each other since we can't just hop on a plane to come and pick up the pieces
God bless you and give you wisdom.Thanks for all the blogging and e-mails you've responded to
