First Week In South Korea

So we have not done any homeless ministry yet. We did meet with the place where we will be volunteering and set it up so that we will start volunteering on Tuesday. This past week has been a lot of getting to know area.  Adjusting for me has been difficult at times not being able to communicate with a lot of people and being a foreigner. The culture, the food, the country, the place we are staying, is all different from what I am used to. It's been very exciting though getting to know and see knew things and I hope to learn a lot about South Korea while I am over here. We have visited a lot of different places in Seoul that were very exciting. We went to Gyeoungbokgung, which is the palace where the king used to live. It is a very interesting place to see. We also went to Seoul Tower, which is the highest point in Seoul and from there you are able to look out at most of the city. We also just went to visit some of Issac's friends and see different parts of the city where they live. I'm excited and nervous at the same time to start volunteering and I am praying that language is not a barrier for me. I ask that you be praying for us that God gives us meaningful work to do and that we will humbly do the work that he sets before us. Also be praying that we make meaningful relationships that bring glory to God.
