English names are fluid here. Today Annabelle informed me that she wants me to spell her name now without the last 'e'. Andy regularly alters his name... Jandy, Pandy, Mandy (until I told him I know a girl with that name). And, just for today, Justin decided to be Bustin. It's the best when said with a Korean accent. It's not only the kindergarten kids. Jenny is also Jinny, and Alice is the same person as Sarah. My friend Dawna said that, a day after she started teaching, a girl at that school changed her name to Dawna. I think I'm going to start dropping letters out of my name, too. Or swapping them. Tomorrow you may call me Zabeth.
For sure and for shootin', you're goin' to Korea! :D Yippeeeee! I will totally be keeping up with you...you are one brave woman! Praise the Lord for His guidance!
ReplyDeleteWow! I knew it wouldn't be long...60 days really isn't that long! I guess you won't be around the 2nd weekend in December. Bummer, but I'm still oh-so-excited for you, Miz! I love God's leading in your life - Praise Him! I also love you! I'm so glad you started this blog. I'll look forward to "traveling" with you!

P.S. Have you signed up for Skype yet?! ;-p
Gonna be a blast. I have met plenty of soldiers who spent time there. Also have run into many chaplains who come from Korea, lots of Presbyterians over there.
