Some cool friends at church!
After the batting cages, I headed back over to the cafe we always go, Holy Cross, for some lore fellowship.
I was sitting next to Alex here, and I thought I'd get to know him more...he has a ShOcKiNg personality, he just LiGhTs UP everytime you talk to him, he's just so full of EnErGy! lol you are probably thinking what's wrong with my brain right now...I found out Alex is an electrician! lol
I've had time to think of some good jokes because my brother-in-law is also an electrician...lol
Anyways pray for Alex, he has a pretty difficult job. Pray that God would keep him safe and bless him in all he does!
Here is another friend of mine at church, Elyssa and her mom ( mom is visiting from Nice, France....oh so nice! lol). Elyssa is an English teacher in the area and has been coming to our church for a while now, maybe 5 months...her mom though, a missionary from France for 29 years (!!!!) came to visit for the holidays. What a cool thing! Pray for their ministry of planting church in a truly spiritually dead country!
Then there is James (left) and my California buddy, Andrew! James is a friend that comes around every so often, mostly because he attends his fathers church in another part of Daejeon. Its vacation time so we see alot of people who we normally don't meet for a while ^^
Then Andrew, an English teacher from about 2.5 hours bus drive away (!!!), has been coming for a while now too. He has been faithful to help in leading worship on the cajon (box) with me on Sundays. Normally, since he comes so far,and stays late fir fellowship, he misses his bus home, so he crashes at my house every Sunday night. Good to have another friend close by. But he just changed jobs in Daejeon, so now he'll be even closer! No more long trips! Praise God!
Lastly, another Californian made their way to Daejeon. This is Carine (don't know how to spell!). She's been attending our fellowship for maybe 4 months. She's also an English teacher in our area! But one nice thing is that, since we have met and gotten to know each other, I have gained a new momma! lol I have had many Mexican momma's in the past...Karolina (Sosimo's mom), Zelda (Solomon and Israels mom), but now I can add one to the list! lol She said to me she thinks of me like a son...that's nice to know I am getting close to some people here at the church! I still have the bestest Mom in California, whom i haven't seen in almost 7 months ;( I miss u mom!
I hope that you spend time thinking about our ministry here, it's special a different because it's in Korea, but it is also the same as anywhere else in that people still need Jesus because they are hurting, weak, needing His touch, lonely, full of burdens, etc....there is a special need for laborers here in Korea ;) Pray God would provide those people!

Sunday night hangout
Some people wanted to go crack the bat at the nearby arcade, so I tagged along to go bat and hang with everyone...it was mostly just dudes, some of the girls took off somewhere...
These are some tough guys huh?! We got my roommate David (back left), Stephan (back right), Lance and also Lena...waiting for a chance to use the batting cages!
I had gone before this, but now it was Davids turn. The pitches are about 80mph (120km/h)
I also got an interview with our brother Joe (or Rob Vunder in my mind ^^) who plays for a semi-pro team in Daejeon called the Fighters ;)
Some good fellowship!

Dinner!
Everyone is ready to eat! Mmm!
This was a first for me! Sea cucumber! Ugh! It wasn't bad bit it wasnt great either! lol! It was really hard but it had an OK flavor...anyways you have to try things once though!
The bigger room is where we ate...
The kids and their parents ate in the smaller room...
This is Nayeons dad's creation! Mmm Spicy seafood soup (매운탕) he did a great job!
Dinner was awesome!

Go-Stop
This is an interesting game! You use these cards that have pictures on them that represent the seasons, and the point of the game is to match up the cards and to get a bunch of points!
Nayeons dad was rocking this game! He was seriously spanking all her uncles! lol :)

Daechun Beach!
Wow! Really nice beach huh?!
We're at the beach in winter! Agh!!! but really beautiful!
All I gotta say...Kids are crazy!
Cool horse riders at the beach ;)
We took a picture with Nayeons new Polaroid camera for New Years Day...it was a little too bright out :/
Here is what we wrote in the sand...we also found some shells and starfish too! Nice memories!

Lunch for a king!
We had to use both rooms for prepping all the food we were about to eat, plus all the people to sit and enjoy it...
Nayeons mom cooking up the beef! mmm looks good huh?!
Having a little play time while the food is cooking up
Nayeons uncle setting the table
The spread! Whoo!
What a great lunch! I am marrying into a great family...just pray that they would get saved, then it would be even better to fellowship with like-minded Christians ;)

Our Condo!
Here is one of the rooms that the family rented...this one is just one little room and a kitchen...
This one is a bit bigger...but that's good because we have about 24 people here! We should have some fun!
