To the south?

 So we got a very good offer in Chennai, and unlike the previous offer, this location is perfect for our family. I can see Jehovah helping us. Now things are not set in stone as of yet. But they are looking very, very promising.

One Yogita will be working with a Korean company as a translator. So this places us in a familiar language and culture. Of course, just because it is Korean culture does not mean it is not full of nonsense, like all cultures here on Earth. 

In the Korean work culture, they are hamstrung when it comes to problem-solving. We saw many cases where an assembly line was shut down. They had an engineer on site who could have replaced a spare part. But due to company policy, they HAD to wait for the support engineer to arrive from another city in South Korea. So the entire management staff was just sitting around playing on their cell phones.

This is just one of many examples we saw while in South Korea working for over 25 years.

Another major positive is that there are two English language congregations and I think two or three Hindi language congregations. 

I am excited to see the new episodes of The Good News According to Jesus in English.

Also this area is a costal area with wonderful beaches and seafood. There is also a Korean town there. There are many Korean companies operating factories in Chennai. 

I must say the thing that excited me the most was the number of available Kingdom halls.

We will see what happens very soon.
