Please Pray

Our life has taken a dramatic potential turn in the last day and we would like to ask everybody if they could please pray for us. I know 'dramatic potential turn' doesn't make that much sense but that is the best way I can describe it.


I believe I have mentioned before that Koreans take Swine Flue very seriously. Well, I wasn't joking. Because one of the 12 English Villages (EV) had teachers that had Swine Flu the government (since we are government based) sent out a memo to all the schools in Korea and encouraged them to refrain from group activities. So now all the schools that were coming to EV and parents that were sending their kids here have almost all cancelled their programs and it doesn't look like they will be rescheduling any time soon. Because of this, EV has told all of the teachers that they only have enough money to pay us until the end of November. 

We are trying to decide what we should do. We have a lot of options right now and all of them require huge faith in God. For all we know we could be heading back to the States in a couple of weeks, moving to a different job in Korea or possibly staying here and the school goes bankrupt and we have no where to go. Making a decision is not easy right now and depends a lot on what the school is willing to offer us (like a plane ticket home) and what we are willing to sacrifice ect. We are also now trying to decide if we should actually take out trip to Japan on Monday. My mind is all over the place, along with Josh', and we have no idea where to start. We have a few ideas but we really want to feel at peace about whatever decision that we make. If you could please pray for us we would appreciate it so much!

Oh no! We will certainly be praying for you. We would have started sooner, but like I said, we've been traveling as well and haven't been online as much.
