Waiting

Friday, September11th
Our job prospect is with a university in southern Seoul. If hired, we would be university professors (hilarious eh!?) teaching English to university students. Our good friend Will is currently working there and called us to say that 2 professors had not worked out and they needed to fill those 2 positions. We scrambled together some 'sophisticated professor type' clothing and ran out to the university for a meeting. The guy that hires was extremely busy and made us wait a long time while he dealt with other issues. We were quite content to wander around and just talk. The hiring guy finally a had a bit of free time over dinner so we went with him to chat. He expressed to us that he really wanted to hire us and would be the one to do so, but we needed to first shake the hands of the president and have an 'interview' with him. The president was the one that needed to initiate this meeting and the actual 'hiring guy' could not rush the process despite the need in the English department. This process really reflects a lot of the Korean culture.
Anyways...we have waited all week. We have really prayed that God would direct our steps. We resolved that we would walk through the door if it opened, but if it closed we would go home to Canada. We wrote the hiring guy an email telling him that we needed to make a decision by Friday at 6pm. He phone us at 4:30pm on Friday pleading with us to wait until Monday because the president would have time to meet with us on Monday.
So...here we are waiting til Monday.
Jenn and Jord are such amazing friends and continue to put us up in their loft. We're playing lots of euchre and Jenn and I are baking and having a grand time. I think Blake and I have assumed the role of the household pet. We're sad to see the go in the morning and are so excited for them to come home to feed us and play with us.
