late night friday night

the hardest part about moving to korea was leaving behind such wonderful people.  it was such a blessing to live so close to some family and we had such a wonderful group of friends we so dearly love and miss!  but as I have seen God do all throughout my life, he's always bringing new blessings into my life.  each time i've moved away from sweet friends, He brings along someone new and the cycle continues with a lovely, deep, & rich friendship.  

since arriving in korea, i've had my eyes peeled for new friendships.  as i've mentioned in many other posts, we've met some really great people and we're so thankful for them.  peter has made good friends with people from and outside of work.  i've met several wonderful military wives and ladies from outside of the military as well.  lots of quality people.

a new development is a womens' bible study which will meet in our apartment every friday night.  because most of the women who come are english teachers at private schools, they work really strange schedules where they teach until after 10 pm!  for that reason, our bible study doesn't begin until 11:00 pm.  We go for about 2 and a half hours.  we had our first meeting last night to get to know one another.  it was great fun.  about 15 women attend, so it's a pretty large group.  i'm really excited about studying with these women and getting to know each of them.  i'm sure i'll post more about our study as it continues.. (if you live in the daegu area and want to come, let me know!)

  2. Thanks, Laelia! It is pretty hardcore, but we fight the fatigue with cupcakes, cookies, and other sugary snacks!
