The expo was an exciting life experience as I don't really plan on going to any other world expos in the future. It was just so convenient to go, we couldn't pass up the opportunity. The theme was "The Living Ocean and Coast." Each country represented had a pavilion centralized around their coasts and ocean(s). We were there for the entire day and probably only saw half of it. It inspired me to travel more; there are so many beautiful places in the world to explore!
The Big-O
Last weekend we had fun on a night hike right by our apartment. It was so peaceful to sit and view the city lights. The next morning we got up early to hike Okpo to Deokpo which are neighboring towns. It was nice to actually get up and see the morning as most days when we can, we sleep in.
We had Monday off for Buddha's birthday. We took advantage of the time off and went to Tongyeong with Anders. It's about a 30 minute drive from where we live. They have cable cars that take you to amazing view points. There's the option to hike down but we opted for the ride back down this time. Being a holiday and all, it was extremely busy. Our number was 8500, and they were only on 5500. We thought, "Oh boy, this is going to take a while." We decided to buy some ice cream but before I had a chance to order Beka told me we were going on. Turns out someone asked Anders how many were in our group and let us go ahead! After spending 1 1/2 - 2 hours there we came back down to find that we still would have been waiting! We wanted to thank the employee somehow so we bought him a Powerade. He gave us a heartfelt bow and thanked us. To my island friends, I definitely recommend the trip!
If you look closely, you can see the cable cars.
Probably my favorite picture of the trip.
Beka, Anders, me!
We're thankful because we also get a day off this week, on Wednesday. After that we'll have to persevere through June. It will probably be our most stressful month with Open House the last week. Open House here translates to a time to be critiqued by parents as they watch us teach their children while we try to impress them. Dear Lord, help us! ;-)
Last but definitely not least, a friend of a friend was able to translate the letter for our principal and director. We printed it off and gave it to them yesterday with a Korean Bible. We're praying for God to move in their lives!
Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
