Faith in Korea

So this blog post is about to get real. I have mostly been writing about what's happening and forgetting to write in detail about how I am feeling about everything. #1, I am absolutely 100 percent confident that this is where God wants me to be right now. I have never felt more strongly about a decision I've made being the right one.  (Except maybe choosing Adam, but we know how I feel about that ;)  I have had an amazing Sunday that started off as very relaxing, some deep cleaning of the new apartment which is always therapeutic, writing a letter to Adam, and then taking a stroll into town.  I stumbled upon a coffee shop that looked pretty quaint and went in to get a caffeine fix.  I also found out that they had molten chocolate lava cake in a coffee cup so it's like baby size, and of course, I got one of those. The first delicious chocolate I have been able to find here, score.  I noticed another non-asian sitting alone in the corner.  I decided to approach and make a friend.  It's a really good thing I did because she turned out to be a wonderful woman who invited me to a bible study with her later on tonight.  I was very excited to meet someone outside of my school and have an opportunity to meet other believers as well.  I went to the bible study and had an amazing time, listening and learning from a group of women that come from all over the world.  There is one from Africa,  two from Korea, and a few from the states that are either teachers or missionaries or students at the university here, and of course, my new friend, who happens to be Canadian.  We were served American food, (mac n cheese and pickles!!!!!! yes, pickles.)  The woman hosting it was a Korean woman married to an American retired veteran so they are able to go to the military base and get lots of American supplies.  Yay for good connections! She's going to get me some pickles and pop tarts!!! We discussed each others backgrounds and talked about how important it is that we are here, as Christian women, living out God's word.  I am so excited to try out the church on Sunday, it is an English-speaking service and it will be awesome to experience that connection over here.  I'm very happy with my life at this point.  I still have so many years ahead and so much more world to see, and I'm super in love with God and in love with my family.  I hope this joy will continue with me throughout the week and be a good model for the children.  I want them to see a teacher that is happy and loving and want to be like her.  I wish for patience and strength in this week, and an open heart and mind to see all that God has to offer and all that I can offer to him.  Hooray for another exciting day in Ansan :)
