We are teaching
freshmen oral English at Shandong University, medical campus. Rick discovered this opportunity through the
BYU Kennedy International Center. There
are 72 teachers representing the China Teacher’s Program throughout 20
different universities in China.
The students are
fabulous! It is a treat to intereact
with them each week. In between lesson
preparations and school days we are trying to see various parts of the country.
China is crazy and
wonderful at any given time. The people
have been so kind to us and we are growing accustomed to our “celebrity”
status. We have never posed for so many
pictures.
All our children are in college this
year. It seemed like the perfect time
for our new adventure. Konrad is in the
first year of his Master’s program at USU. Chalese works for the Fluvial Habitat
Center at USU. They are a happy couple
enjoying life together.
Paul is a senior accounting major at
Dixie State University. He also manages
everything at home and the ranch. The rent is the perfect price for him.
Thomas is in his second year at USU
and doesn’t love the math classes but works hard at them anyway. He works in the campus fish laboratory.
MaryAnne will complete her Oxford
study abroad semester in December and Return to Oglethorpe University for final
classes before May graduation.
It was a cold day at the Great Wall
of China. This is truly a world wonder
and we enjoyed seeing such a great piece of history.
Although we will be teaching classes
on December 25, our thoughts will still be with our family and loved ones. Thank you for enriching our lives.
May holiday joy fill your homes and
thoughts of Christ fill your hearts.
Have
a joyous season!! Susan and Rick Hafen
