I finally got my computer set up in my own apartment, and I'm loving it! Now, I can download pictures, as well. I've had a bad week as I've been sick from "yellow dust" from China. That's to say, I've got a sinus infection. I finally went to the doctor who prescribed a multitude of pills including antibiotics. I'm feeling much better everyday. As a matter of fact, today was the best day I've had yet. My head seemed clearer, and I was able to concentrate on my teaching. My classes went very well today. Over the last week I've given 7 tests. That means grading and a multitude of other chores. My voice is back so I can even sing the songs I've been teaching the kindergardeners. I lost it for about 4 days last week.
I want to talk a bit about the church I'm attending--Faith Baptist Church. It's a very small Korean/American church. The sermon is spoken in both Korean and English. The pastor is an American who is married to a Korean. I'm feeling very comfortable there. A huge lunch called "pot blessing" is served every Sunday after church. It's been great socializing with everyone. I've met several other American teachers as well. I'm slowly developing a small network of commrades. I've started attending an adult Bible study which meets the hour before the service. It's very interesting. I'm discovering many new truths. I bought a new Bible. It's Korean and English--King James Version. Pastor Adam does a great job of picking apart the details. I'm learning! This Saturday is the annual church cleanup. I'm going in for that. It's an all day affair of cleaning and painting. I'm spending more and more time at church. Next, I guess they will have me out "soul saving" in the park. I do find the family atmoshere very soothing.
I moved into my apartment this Sunday. I really love my little place. I have an extra room with a desk where I'm setting up shop. I'll send pictures after I decorate. Can't help it!
