One Year Later

One year ago today, we gathered at the airport to say good-bye to Christopher and Lauren. February 26th, 2009 was the first day of their adventure of teaching English in Seoul, S. Korea. The last time I saw them in person, they were riding the down escalator at Denver International Airport waving good-bye.


A month into teaching, here they are celebrating a birthday of one of their students.



Gosh I miss them! They've recently signed a new contract, extending their stay another year. I'm so proud of them for their dedication, hard work, commitment, sense of adventure, and their willingness to stretch themselves so they have no choice but to depend upon the Lord for strength.

They celebrated their first wedding anniversary in October.

Immersed themselves in the culture.

Tested the Korean health care system.



Eaten new foods.


Made new friends.


Invested themselves in the lives of the children.


They are running the race well.

I can't wait to see what this next year brings for Christopher & Lauren. But after that, I truly hope to spend more time with them here....love you both so much!
