community

I went to dinner tonight with a woman who's new to our church, her eight year old daughter, and Yumi, one of our faithful members. We had juk (Korean style porridge) and then we had "snow flower" ice cream dessert at a restaurant with swinging chairs for seats. Afterwards, we were saying our goodbyes and we saw Treavor, Alina, Jim, and Ron (our worship leaders and two of our winter short term team members) walking down the street, all with ice cream. (It's too cold to eat ice cream outside. I tried to tell them.) They said they had seen Sue, Jim Bob and Jiyeon at McDonald's. Then, I saw Donnie and Mr. Park walking across the street. He said he'd seen Laura and Val just before! It's fun to see our team and our church filling up the streets of Suji at night! He's building authentic community here!
