Final weekend in Yangsan!




Our final weekend in Yangsan was a blast! On Saturday one of my adult students, Peter, said he would drive us to a lighthouse that we heard was beautiful. It was an hour and a half away in Busan. When we got to Taejungdae park, where the lighthouse is, my other adult student Kate and her husband and daughter were there waiting! We had a wonderful time walking the one mile through the beautiful park to the lighthouse. While we were waiting for the bus to go back to out car, Kate's daughter, Haerim (6 yrs old) grabbed my hand and the rest of the day she was my little shadow. So cute! And even though we could not communicate we had a fun time! I also pointed at things throughout the park (tree, rock, flower, lighthouse, airplane) and taught her the English words. She called me seonsangnim, or teacher in English. After the lighthouse, we drove back to Yangsan where we all met up with another one of my adult students for Chineese food. When Haerim came in to the restaurant she yelled seonsangnim, and sat next to me :) She was adorable! It was a very fun day!

Sunday's service was great too. I still can't understand a word they are saying but the closing song was Be Thou My Vision, so after months of not being able to understand, I was able to sing along in English! It was wonderful.

Tonight Krista and I are planning on taking our host mom to Coffee Jigi, my favorite coffee shop, because our host brother and sister are at church camp until Wednesday and an outing with her would be fun!

We leave Yangsan on Friday afternoon and we will be in Seoul with Jangmi until Tuesday. We will also get to see Pastor Cho and he will be giving us a personal tour of Seoul! I am very excited!
