God has blessed us with so many friends and family that have been praying for us. Your love and encouraging words mean so much. The days are counting down and we have been very busy.
We have had the daunting task of buying gifts for every person that we will be working with in the two churches where we are going to serve (pastors, their wives, interpreters, schedulers, drivers, and families that we will be speaking to).
This is no easy feat. Our instructions are vague. The gifts should be made in the U.S.A. They should represent us and what we believe. We will have to wrap them when we get there. It sounds like the Koreans love to get gifts. But, what I also have heard is that they love to give. We were told not to admire anything that belongs to someone too much or they will insist that we take it with us.
We also learned that they love to take pictures. (That means I should have plenty to share when we get home.)
They are very conservative in their dress. (Packing is our next major adventure.)
And we also found out today where we will be in South Korea for the two weeks. The first week we will be serving at Chungju Church (Chungju), and the last week we will be at Sunhan Baptist Church (http://www.sunhan.net/ , Daejeon City). We just received an email from the pastor, Wonsub Sheen. They have a small but growing church, and they are looking forward to us coming to teach, preach, and sing our favorite gospel hymns :)

Go to Google Maps and check out these two cities and look at some of the pictures online. That way you will have an idea where we are when you pray for us. I am hoping that I will be able to email pictures back home while we are there, and maybe add them to this blog to keep everyone updated. You know, the internet is an amazing tool for communication. BUT, prayer to our Father is the best!
Thanks again!
We love you all!
