My life has settled in pretty well. I've decided to live in the present. I'm becoming more comfortable with the culture and place. Learning Korean helps alot. My friend and I are taking Korean lessons twice a week on our lunch break.. It's a very difficult language so I'm sure it will be a very slow process. I do enjoy it though and feel like I've learned something everytime.
I started a small ladies Bible study in my apartment on Friday evenings. It's kind of hit or miss right now. There's a Korean lady who comes regularly and, of course, Jodelle and I. There's a couple others who occasion it. We're studying the book of John. I'm picking up on many things I've missed in previous readings.
I've wanted to do something for the poor, but it's difficult to find services here in Iksan. Seoul has alot going on in that area, but that's Seoul. I've investigated locations of orphanages in the area and have found two. Our Korean language teacher, Ju Yung, did some intership work for college there and agreed to speak to the director about our volunteering. They were very positive about it. So, next Saturday we'll start working there a couple of hours a week on Saturdays. I'm really excited about it. I'll report on that adventure next.
