Greetings!
So it has been a little while since I posted. Last time I posted,I had just come back from a mission trip in Mississippi and found out that I am going to Japan for Journeyman. Since then, life had piled up and became super busy as senior year kicked my rear end... Fortunately, as you can tell, I am still alive and now free from the shackles of higher education (at least for a while).
The end of my last semester was pretty hectic with major presentations, papers, a week with 3 all-nighters, and preparation for graduation. I came out of my classes with all A's and B's, so I am thankful to be done. Graduation was sweet and memorable. We had a local business leader (the founder and CEO of Rayla Corp.) as our commencement speaker. Surprisingly he brought in the importance of faith, steadfastness, and God into his speech! It was very welcomed to my ears and I'm glad he was our speaker. That evening was fun since me and several of my friends went down to the Marietta Square to hang out with a bunch of people in a tiny room glorifying God. It was actually a fundraiser concert for several of my Echo friends going to Haiti.

Yesterday I returned from South Korea with a new experience, a new family, and a new best friend. I definitely left my heart in Busan, but am 100% sure that part of the reason I was to go to South Korea (aside from bringing God glory and sharing the Gospel) was to meet me new family. Joon, Amy, and Bella of the Busan BSU are now my family in East Asia. They are going to be a huge resource of love, support, encouragement, and rest for me while I am serving in Japan. I would not be surprised if I ended up living in Busan with these people serving our God. I love you guys!!!!!!

Over the next couple of days I will be posting journal entries from each day of my trip in South Korea. This will be the best place for information on what me and my team experienced each day, so if you can't reach me or you really want to find out before I can talk to you, check it out here! :)
