Hey Fam/friends. Sorry for the long hiatus away from our blog. I realized tonight that we needed to update everyone who still checked this thing on some prayer requests (mainly one: see #3) that are pressing.
1) Betsy is sick — Not too sick. She has had a cough for a couple weeks and just came down with a fever. We are going to the doctor tomorrow. Please pray that the doctor would be given wisdom as to what is the best measure to take and that our director at school would give her a day or two off if she needs it.
2) I am giving a sermon at church this week. With Bets being sick and our decision pending, I haven’t been able to focus on it as much as I would like. Pray that the Lord would give me quality time to work on it and that it would speak to our community.
3) Finally, and the thing that is weighing on us the most. We have 3 1/2 months left on our contract and have to let our director know by the end of the month if we will resign for one more year. There are other options, like signing with another school or coming home. Pray for God to give us wisdom and peace as he leads us in this decision.

Yes, we will be praying for you guys. Betsy and her cough….ugh. I’m so so sorry you have to get those Beezus. Hang in there guys. God is in control. We love you.
Hey we are praying for you guys and for your decision making. Sorry we never got to skype when we talked about it awhile ago. Maybe sometime soon? Glad you guys are well. Anxious to hear how marriage is treating you.

Most definitely will pray for you guys! Hope Betsy is feeling better. Love you guys! Gloria and Don
we have been praying that our Lord would make it clear what He wants you to do. we will continue to pray for you as the time nears to be sure and confident and at peace about the decision you make.
also praying for Betsy’s health, and the bad cough.
may the Lord grant you healing, and comfort and rest during this time, and James, may the Lord bless your ministry to your church, and give you clarity and wisdom as you teach/preach this coming Sunday. we love you both, so much and are so proud of you.

Betsy and James, we are still praying for you as you seek the Lords direction and leading on your status there, and what to do, we love you and ask the Lord to give you clear direction
Hey! Dylan and I have been wondering how you guys are doing and whether you are coming back soon or if you decided to stay for another year. We miss you! I hope that you have been seeing more and more of Jesus through your time being stretched in Korea and that marriage is going well for you. We would love to hear from you!

P.S. I was looking at the videos of your classes. Do the kids always wear their backpacks or is it just a coincidence that in both videos they all have their backpacks on in the classroom? It was funny to see.
