First Blog!

Well folks...New blog, new adventures, and new career!  Thanks for stopping by my blog, which will mostly allow you to keep track of my journey to Bolivia, and my new job as a teacher.  I will try and update this a couple times a week to let you know what is going on in my life.

First things first, for those who don't know the whole story, I am going to be living in Cochabamba Bolivia for the next 9 months.  I am going to be a teacher at a school for missionary children and local Bolivian children, and will be teaching 7th and 8th grade science and math!  I am extremely excited, and although I am a little nervous to have my first "real" teaching job, I am sure that I will adjust well and grow to love my new position.

Currently I am still in the U.S., even though the school year started on Monday.  We have had an extremely difficult time obtaining our Visas, and this has caused us to be delayed in departing for Bolivia.  Although today I heard word that our Visas have been approved, and we are looking forward to heading down to Bolivia sometime next week!  This means that I actually have to start packing, which is something I am not necessarily looking forward to...mostly because I have to figure out how to pack 9 months of stuff into 2 50lb. bags!

As far as funding goes, I still need approximately 1,000 dollars more!  If you are reading this blog and meant to donate a while back, please give it some more thought.  If you would like to donate, send me an email at seluther10@gmail.com and I will send you information on how to donate!  Any support is much appreciated, either financial or prayer!

I will definitely post more in the coming days as I prepare to head to Bolivia.  Please keep in touch, and remember to check out this blog to see what I am up to!
