It is visa renewal time again. So next week, we will go to immigration to apply for a one-year visa extension. This time is unlike other times. I am so ready to either leave or stay. Both offer great things for me and my family.
In India, my sons would be even busier in the preaching work, doing other things like working part-time, enjoying their hobbies, spending time with family, and making new friends. Yogita and I would also enjoy it very much. Being treated like a normal person makes life easier in small ways. Being able to purchase things online, get a smartphone, or sign up for internet service under your own name.
Basically, the things people do every day. For example, we are getting jobs in most sectors where we are looking for flexibility. In South Korea, I am locked into teaching English. There are other jobs that offer flexibility of hours. It would be so nice if we could all just get jobs. India also offers a way for our boys to settle in the way they want to. In South Korea, this is not so easy. We will find a way, though. Actually, we have already found one but we will not mention that here now.
So we are not planning years in advance for South Korea, only a year at a time. With mini goals in those years. The main is pioneering, keeping Jehovah's kingdom first. Yogita, George, and Jeyo will go to Pioneer School this July. So this is one major goal for this year.
Keep making the meeting regularly, assemblies, and conventions, and pay close attention; this is another mini-goal.
Make sure family worship is regular every week! This is a major goal. As this ties every other mini-goal in and makes them become major goals.
Another mini goal is to keep talking about the coming kingdom and inculcate Jehovah's word in my heart and the hearts of my family.
What will we say tomorrow when today is but a memory? We will have good stories of us working towards Jehovah s day.
Hobby side, I will be making minor upgrades to the PCs this year. The only major one will be Yogita's PC.
Oh, and always spend time with our friends when the opportunity arises.
