Today is our last day in Seoul. We are now traveling into smaller cities throughout Korea where Dwight, Sam and I will speak.
The time we have spent in Seoul and at the various churches has been wonderful! The people are so gracious to us. Every meal we have eaten has been delicious and most meals have cost them quite a sum of money. The other night they took us out to a American Steakhouse and the meal cost about $450! The Christians want to practice their English so badly that we could be at the churches for days just making small talk. Every so often a few of them knows more English and we can discuss more meaningful things. As we continue on our trip, I can tell that our duty here is to continue to show respect, open up to the Korean people and show them love and help them with their English.
Our driver is also my roommate and every night we have a little English lesson where he learns to pronounce new words and he also write paragraphs in English and I help him correct them. I am terrible with grammer, but thankfully it doesn't matter a whole lot here.
On Saturday we played basketball with some Koreas from the church at the Olympic Park in Seoul. The teams were divided into America vs. Korea and due to some not to good Americans, we almost lost. We then played some random guys at the park. One kid was almost 6'5" and they thought they could give the ball to him on the inside the whole game. Not gonna happen. We won! One Korean guy had cornrows and was decked out in Piston's gear. Seeing all these people playing basketball was just so funny!
We have been blessed on every day of this trip. God has given us great people to help us through this country and has given us the right people. After getting to know David, our driver, I can see why he is our driver as opposed to some other young Korean man. He is taking a whole 2 weeks out of school to drive us around. I can't wait to see where we go next!
Next stop - some small city in South Korea!
