Great News!!!!

So Lauren and I just got a call from the MeySen Acedemy in Sendai and..... We got the job! We get to go to Japan! When the recruiter called us to tell us the good news Lauren started screaming and jumping up and down on the bed. I was laughing and poor Melissa probably thought we'd lost it. It was a pretty exciting moment. We'll be leaving in February sometime and we'll be gone for 14 months.


One of the things we're most excited about is starting this blog. We've been following the blogs of several current teachers at the school and we always thought it would be fun to write one of our own. Now we get to!


It has been such a long wait since our interview in Chicago. There were sixty applicants this year and we were both wondering how much of a shot we really had. I guess this means God must have something big in store for us over there, because I think He had to pull some strings for us. I think that between Him and the awesomeness of Team Marshall we'll be able to accomplish a lot.


Hopefully we can remember while we're over there that our purpose is to glorify God and spread the Gospel of Christ. Of course, I don't think God will mind too much if we have an amazing adventure together while we do it. Thank you everybody for all your prayers! We're both really excited.
