First Sunday Back at CC Daejeon!

Well, finally back in the swing of things...Pastor Mike and Hye-Young on Sunday morning, teaching the Word in English and Korean...praise God! Topical study in the book of Revelation...soon going back to the beginning in Genesis!
I got to lead worship on Sunday, that was fun!
I'm so happy for being a part of the church here again...Praise God for His plans for us. He definitely gives us peace when we are in His perfect will. Pray for the church here...that it will continue to grow and multiply for God's glory! AMEN?

My mornings in Korea...

Showing you the view I have outside my windows...and snow too!
Expo park area! Really close...for those who dont know...Expo park is a small amusement park for families...but not a lot of people go anymore...kinda like Castle Park in Riverside...^^ lol
I like this one....we were just eating our normal Korean breakfast...lesson TIME! Learning the things I am eating is a great way to study the Korean language! ^^

Orphanage Outreach...

On Saturdays, we normally go to the children's orphanage close by in town, to love on the kids, play with them, and teach some of the older ones some English. So while and group of our church people were playing with the kids outside, we went upstairs to have about 2 hours of studying english...

some things have changed up a bit...

SHOCKED!

I was shocked at the things I saw when I went back to my old part of town I lived in last year....video explains it all...

We were in the area for a Bible study and English study in a Presbyterian Church....Jesse also shared a worship song with them...great group of people...pray for them, some are not believers, but some are great men and women of faith....


New Apartment...

Quick introduction to my new home and also my friend Isaiah!

While I was unpacking my things, my new friend came and gave me some snacks and things...great new friends!

Well, the celebrations didnt stop there...when my friend Evan (the tall one! ^^) got home, they showed me around a little bit, and then took me to Paris Baguette for some "1st Night In new apartment" night...i think we are gonna find lots of excuses to eat sweets though...^^

Evan treated...thanks buddy...

Us hanging out...eating our bread....talking about Jesus...both of my roommates are hardcore Christians! love it! Evan has been a Christian for about 4 years working in an immigration office near-by...he has really great English too...Isaiah (on the right), has a little harder time with English, but an awesome brother anyway! He is studying at a Baptist Seminary near here for his M Div...he wants to be a missionary and humanitarian in India! Praise God huh?!
got some cream puffs...they were destroyed by Evan...^^


I pray that I have many more times with my friends like this!

Melt Class...

MELT class is a free english class that we provide for anyone that would like to come and learn. We teach them english idioms and also a dialogue that they can act out...and we have one on tape! bwahaha
Sorry Christina...had to put it up for people to know whats going on during Melt time! lol

SNOW!

More snow just kept coming...wow...so awesome and beautiful...love this look in Korea!
Frame this one everyone...lol jk...
Jesse and I got to go over to Minsoo and Minji's house to teach some english to the kids....good times....we had our teaching time....and then i thought....there's snow!
So we went outside and tore up a great SNOW FIGHT!
I am about to get tagged right now! (Notice poor little Elizabeth's nose...she got hit with some snow a little too hard...dont worry not me, one of the kids...^^ but she is a fighter!)
SNOW FIGHT! Minsoo deserved that hit anyway...dont judge me! lol Sosi can testify!

Wow...been a while...sorry about that...just got Facebook and got carried away with how much easier it is to load stuff there...but really quickly....I am back in Korea now...the Lord opened the doors to stay here long term, and I took a step of faith to follow Him here. Pray the Lord will be with me as I desire to serve Him by loving the Korean people!
