I have hereby been called to serve as a teacher in TAIWAN!!

This is what I get to look forward to for my adventures next year-oh yeah.:)

One of my life's biggest dreams will be coming true. I have just been hired to teach English in Taiwan next year!! I am SO excited. I graduate from BYU in April 2011, and then I am off to Taiwan from July-December 2011. I am so thankful to my roommate and friend, Elizabeth Nenque for putting a good word in for me. She taught there in 2004, and still has good relations with the principal, Lin Yuling, which allowed her to get me a job there. She rocks. Many thanks to Liz!!

I will be teaching English to ~60 preschoolers, ages 3-6 at Owl Preschool in Hualien City, on the Northeast side of the island of Taiwan. We also have the option of teaching ESL to adults and older students. I will probably jump at that opportunity when I get there, too. The principal, Yuling is a BYU grad and she makes sure that the school has a positive, happy, clean, and good environment. I am so thrilled to have finally a program that holds high standards and where I can feel confident in knowing I will thrive in that environment.

I am so excited to have this opportunity to help more of Heavenly Father's children way across the world, and to learn more about these unique people, culture, and language. My Chinese vocabulary consists of "Ni Hao", or hello. So, yeah, I'll be learning a lot, and I am ready for this new challenge and adventure.

Life is great. I am so excited for this new adventure and chapter of my life!!

Love, love, love,
姐姐 Janae
