It's a Small World After All

In the midst of the busy-ness of work, it's always fun to have new experiences whenever we get the chance, and this weekend was certainly unique.

It turns out that not long after we came to Korea, Shannon had a cousin (whom she'd never met before) who came over and was teaching in Seoul. So after a few emails all over the family tree, Shannon and her cousin Chelsea got in contact with each other, and it turned out she was looking for another job. Fortunately, we happen to be friends with a recruiter, so we got them in contact with each other.

Our friend Sky was able to find her a job teaching an English cooking class for kids, which was great for Chelsea, since her degree is in food chemistry, so she was quite excited about that, and the best part from our perspective is that said job is right here in Daejeon!

Long story short, Chelsea moved to Daejeon on Saturday, and we met her for the first time at the train station to help her move into her new apartment here in the city.

Today after church, we took Chelsea on a little orientation tour of her part of the city, showing her some of the important landmarks (like the subway), and going with her to pick up some things for her apartment. We had a great afternoon, and really enjoyed getting to know her. It looks like she's really going to enjoy her time in Daejeon, and we're really glad that we were able to play a part in bringing her here.
