So, I'm going back a few days so that I can tell you about the church service I attended on Sunday. Now, I want to preface this with some things. First of all, my one and only experience worshipping outside of the U.S. was a very cold experience. I went to church in Germany and I couldn't understand anything, no one there, besides me, was under 30 or over 10 and overall the general feeling and atmosphere of the place was very cold and sterile.
Worshipping in Korea was one of the warmest, most genuine experiences I have ever had. The people were so full of life and love for God and each other that I could feel the overflow of it as I walked in. The worship was very similar to what I'm used to in the States and the sermon, though a little redundant, was solid. I feel so blessed that I have the opportunity to experience this amazing culture and see how God is at work here. I am excited to continue seeking Him while I'm here and sharing His love with people around me. I've already connected with a lot of the other Christians that are here as native English speakers and I think, if I am intentional about it, I can have a good solid support network here as well as at home. Thank you, God for Your good works.
This morning, I woke up at 6 and couldn't go back to sleep so decided to get up and ready for the day. I'm not lying, I really did get up at 6 in the morning! I went down to breakfast expecting to find the usual mystery food and rice and found this fish soup... bones and all included. It was too disgusting to even try.... but... in the next line there was CEREAL!!!!!!!
Needless to say, I had 4 bowls! It made my day!
Until next time!!!

Was the sermon in English? How many people attended? How big was the church?
Did you have to eat your cereal with chopsticks too? What other foods have you tried?
the sermon was in English and there were probably 10 or so people who came from S.M.O.E to the church. At the church there were probably close to 100 or so people there. THe church was only on 1 floor of a really big building, but it was a big room. It just seemed pretty normal to me.
And no, they have spoons. The korean people often use spoons to eat their rice with. I haven't gotten too crazy with my food yet. I almost tried octopus the other day, but couldn't bring myself to eat it. It was just too gross. Most of the time I have no idea what it is I'm eating. I go by smell a lot!
cereal with chopsticks...ha! so funny
