Great Weekend

After my normal Saturday morning routine, I decided to get on the subway and venture out to find that cafe with the train tracks. All I knew for sure was the line I needed to get on and the stop where I needed to get off. Glauce decided to come along with me. And I am very excited to say that we found it on our own. We also found the only Starbucks in the world that is not written in English. This particular one is written in Korean and is found in Insa Dong. It was a very fun day.

Ok, I must really be unattractive or smell pretty bad. Why you ask? Nobody ever wants to sit by me on the bus or the subway, so I figure one of these statements must be true. At least I found this to be true until Sunday morning.

Glauce and I were on our way to church when all of a sudden I noticed this Korean man walk by us whom kept looking at us. Then the seat next to me and about 5 on the other side of the train became vacant at the same time. However, this man came and sat down next to me. He even bumped into my arm a few times, that was until two foreigners came on the subway. And to my surprise asked us if we were on our way to church, then asked what we were doing in Korea, etc..... The funny thing is that they were the first foreigners I have come across that were friendly. The other funny thing is that they were from Colorado and stationed at Kunsan for the next couple of months. I should mention the theory behind the man sitting next to me or at least what others who have been in Korea awhile think. He most likely thought, like many, that westerners were easy, so was probably going to try something. Wow, what a surprise he would have gotten. Guess I will never know for sure.

I have found the church I want to attend. It is Seoul International Baptist Church (SIBC). As I looked around Sunday morning I noticed people who were from all over the world, not just Americans, as some have said about the church. It was really international, gave me a sense of what God's church truly should consist of. People from all walks of life, who are different yet the same. I felt at peace and a sense of home. Plus, I should mention that it is located in the new neighborhood we are moving too, so I can walk there.

I ended my Sunday night by watching "Survivor." Yes, I get it here! And then going over to Wilson's house with some of the girls. We watched "Ben Hur." Charlton Heston really reminded me of someone I know and really made me think about him.

Just a really great weekend, filled with moments seized in Christ's abundant love.
