Arrival

I am safe and sound in Korea! We left on Tuesday around 4 in the morning and arrived in Korea around 6 pm the next day (there is a 13 hour time difference). We were very tired when we arrived but had a good time having dinner with all of our host families at Mr. Pizza. I tried potato pizza and it was pretty good! I am staying in an apartment with a lady named Sul. She is very nice and speaks English.


Today we went to the Yum Kwang Presbyterian church for a meeting where they told us more about what we will be teaching for the classes that start on Monday. After that we went out to eat at a Korean restaurant. Our Korean friends thought it was hilarious that we kept having trouble eating noodles with chopsticks. Everyday we are trying something new! We went for a walk in the market. Then I sat in the cafe of the Church until Sul came to take me home. While there, I had some good conversations with people; they are so friendly and love to practice their English. I've also been learning a few vital phrases in Korean! This weekend we will be sightseeing and making friends at church. On Saturday we will get to go to a Korean wedding!
The Koreans are very hospitable and keep asking us what our first impression of Korea is. They want to make sure that we feel welcome.
Please continue praying for overall health and safety and preparation for the classes that we will start teaching. Pictures to come soon!
