Annyeong haseyo! (hello!)

Jarrod and I arrived safely in Seoul, Praise the Lord! We had a sweet send off at the airport with Jarrod's parents and my sister, Denise, with her two boys. It was a sad goodbye. Since arriving to Seoul, we have been staying in a hotel with lots of other YISS teachers, and are in the process of moving to our new home. It will be a little bit until we have internet access in our home, so please be patient as our updates are limited.
Praises
-Uneventful (but very nice!) flight and safe arrival to Seoul
-Seeing familiar faces from PFO in the airport and at our hotel helped to feel like we are exactly where we are supposed to be.
-Receiving a "welcome packet" from the school, complete with Subway/Buss passes, Korean won (the currency here), a calling card, yearbook to see what was going on in the school last year, and a variety of other helpful items!
-Exploring our home and neighborhood yesterday - we have a 3 bedroom apartment, and are looking forward to hosting whomever wants to come visit! We feel incredibly blessed with all that we have been provided with!
-Jarrod was able to reunite with his former Boss, Mr. Lee, and his family - who has already poured out love and generosity to us!

Prayer requests:
-Setting up our house to make it feel like a home. (wading through lots of korean products and finding what we need)
-Getting Internet in our apartment without much hassle.
-Adjusting to a new time zone
-Stephanie's visa would be switched over from an accompanying spouse to a work visa without difficulty.
-Patience with each other in this transition time.
-Patience in a language in which we have very little understanding
-that we would work to learn the language quickly.
Thank-you for your prayers. We hope to hear updates from home as you are able - we miss and love you all very much!
