Escaping Winter

Yep, that's what I'm doing...escaping winter. Saturday I will be leaving wet, cold Korea for warm, sunny Vietnam! We have next week off school for Lunar New Year, so 6 friends and I will be heading to Ho Chi Minh City as well as to Moi Ne beach until Saturday the 20th. I'm so ready for a break. Swimming has started up and after having to make some cuts (I hate cutting people!), the team has been named and practice has begun regularly. We have our first meet the Saturday after break and then the season will be in full force.

Last weekend I kept busy at 30 Hour Famine with over 100 middle school kids at SFS. The event was great, but we didn't get much sleep. All the girls were squeezed into a gymnastics room. They went to sleep better than last year, but we didn't go to bed until about 1:00 AM. Then, about 5 in the morning 3 different cell phone alarms went off. Grr...we had collected all the TCIS students' phones. Overall, the event was a lot of fun and really eye-opening for many of our students who have always had everything they've needed or wanted.

The next month is going to be pretty crazy. 3 weeks after the Vietnam trip, Tami and Colleen are coming!!! Then, the following week we have Spring break and I will be heading to India on a mission trip. I will try to keep you all updated on my adventures. Happy Lunar New Year, all!
