'12 MAY: Aunty Visits & School Ends

A huge answer to prayer in this month was the visit of Malia's aunt, Virginia Weros. Handling the house and the children during her third trimester of pregnancy became increasingly difficult for Malia, and her aunt came from Washington State to help. We found her assistance to be an incredible blessing, and her company was also a privilege!

This month also marked the end of our school year. We attended concerts, plays, and ceremonies at Mark's school. The playgroup with which Malia volunteers also takes a break during the summer months of June and July since most of the participating families travel to their home countries. The majority of our friends in Seoul will also travel; however, we are thankful that a few of us remain, and we will keep each other company over the next two months.

Praises:
-We thank God for the influence Mark has had on his students this year, specifically with those who have recently graduated.
-Despite a few health battles (ear infections and common colds), our children have remained mostly healthy through the spring months when yellow dust from China usually causes serious infections.
-We eagerly anticipate the visit of Malia's brother and sister-in-law from June 13-22!

Prayer Requests:
-Our baby girl should arrive any day. Please pray for a safe delivery for both her and Malia!
-Mark will be balancing a teaching load (a computer class of over 30 students) and online coursework toward his dissertation during the summer. Please pray for him to have rest and discipline.
