worship

One of Renee M.'s friends from Birmingham, Alabama is here with her daughter to help us out with worship for a month. So, we had live worship (we usually use CDs made into a playlist on the computer) today at both gatherings. It was excellent. Please keep praying with us for a worship leader! There are many, many musically talented people in Korea, they just haven't started coming to our church yet! Lord, bring 'em in!

Thinking of other things I can update you guys on...
Friday, I start work at 12:30 and work straight with no breaks (other than enough time change my materials from class to class) until 7:30. It's my least favorite day of the week, and Fridays are supposed to be days we look forward to! Anyway, I did something different this past Friday. I got up and took a little jog in the opposite direction than I normally go, just for a change. I went down to a local fruit and vegetable market, about a 15 minute walk from where I live. This place is huge, and full of mostly old people. They sell all the fruits and vegetables in season in Korea - in huge quantities. If you want to buy garlic here, you have to buy at least a whole grocery sack full, if not more. They have rows and rows of people who just sell garlic, more rows of people who only sell onions, etc. I had been to this market a few times before, but this time I got all sorts of looks. Maybe it was because it was early in the day...I don't know why I got more looks this time than normal, but it was amusing.

I bought some fresh Korean rice noodles there, they're about as thick as my thumb, called dduk. When I got home, I made dduk bokki for lunch and took it to school. Everyone was so impressed that I had made Korean food, and they all wanted to try it to see how I did. Mr.Moon, a guy who works at our school, said he would invest with me to open up a street stand to sell it to kids after school. :)
