So as most of you know, I recently came home from my mission for some health reasons. While I was sad to be come home, I had a lot of comfort in knowing that it was the right thing for me to do, and that it's, well, not the end of my life. Just because a trial comes up doesn't mean in time to stop moving! So my was of moving on and continuing to focus on others is going back to China! This time I'll be going as head teacher, which means I won't be directly teaching the kids, but I'll be over seeing the teachers. It's a lot of responsibility but I'm really excited!
At first I was assigned to go to a city called Changzhou where I would be one of two head teachers. But now because of some changes I'll be in a city called Changsha and I'll be on my own as far as head teaching goes. It will be me and five other teachers, so the size of the group sounds great.
I of course have been researching Changsha, and it looks
awesome! So, a little bit about it;
Here it is, in the south east corner of China in the middle of the Hunan province. It's the capital of Hunan, so that's super cool! In 2010 it had a population of 7,044,118. Seven million! And I mean, that was 5 years ago so I'm sure there's many more!
Another highlight of the Hunan province is Zhangjiajie! These are the mountains where the Avatar (the blue people) movie was filmed. From what I've heard, they are absolutely amazing and I can't wait to see them!
See you soon, Changsha!
