Do you see what I see?

I went to sleep at 4am Sunday morning, but I still got up in time to take a shower, get some coffee and get to church a few minutes early to practice this ridiculously hard (for a Sunday morning) piece that I'd played once a few weeks ago.

During the church service, I was remembering my previous church experience in Seoul, and I was surprised by my feelings... that I was missing looking out into a sea of Korean faces. 10 days ago, I would not have been able to distinguish a Korean person from a Chinese/Japanese or other Asian person, and perhaps today was luck, but I looked into the balcony and saw a lady and just knew she was Korean! I wanted to attend the Korean Sunday School class, even though I knew I wouldn't understand anything they were saying. After the service, I got to talk to Debbie B and show her pics and videos of Ka-Eun, my masked beauty and then I headed to the Harvesters class where the Korean class meets before they split up. It was a small class, and they were so kind and inviting and I told them my story and I got to hear a bit about them. From time to time during the class, they'd stop and explain why something was funny, ask me about the lesson, give me a chance to read the verse they were reading. It was a joy just to sit and listen. I'm not sure I'll go again...perhaps I just needed to ease back into society void of the Korean majority, but I was glad to have this opportunity.

After church, I got back into my groove...went to Aldi, got home and watched the girls swim, took a nap...and then the girls came home :)

They thought all the presents were "SO CUTE" and now they want to go to Korea too! Maybe some day :)

We spent the rest of the day together, went out for dinner at 9:30pm and then acted crazy together, well into the night. This is the first time we've all been together for 11 days. It was loud and fun!!

This is a bit of a taste of the craziness!!
