| Ok so I know I said I was going to keep you guys updated and all, but I haven't had that much time to really process through some things and write down my thoughts. So once I get that settled down and organized, I will be writing a more complete and detailed entry. But for now, this is the best I can do. Right now I'm at this church/center next to Gyungbook (or pook?) University, using their free wireless (ahah, they didn't password-protect it so I guess it's alright). So i've been doing pretty well here in Korea (Daegu, to be more specific), and even though it's already been almost 2 weeks since I got here it still feels surreal and "I can't believe I'm actually here" kinda feeling. I've met a lot of ppl at the mission center and they've been so nice to me and all. However, it's such a strange feeling to be the youngest here when I was one of the oldest at church (from the beginnings of the church up to now). So I'm not used to being the baby where everyone's trying to take care of me, I'm more used to it being the other way around. Most definitely a new feeling. Another thing that's different for me is the Korean style of....EVERYTHING. Hahaha yes, the prayer/worship/etc., culture. I know I'm Korean and I've been exposed to a lot of this back at our own church, but this is like x100000. Not only that, everyone here speaks Satoori...haha dang. I understand enough of it to get by though. Only a couple of ppl at the center speak "normal" Korean (aka Seoul-mal). I think the reason why I'm not quite used to this is that I feel a little more American than I do korean but right now I'm surprised that I'm not in complete shutdown mode that I'm used to doing back in the states. All I know is that I know God has brought me here to work some things out with me, this issue specifically being one of them in addition to all the other stuff He'll be teaching me. *(I know this entire thing sounds kinda vague, but if you'd like to know then just ask me to tell you what I mean or just let me know if you'd like me to put it up on the next update)* Well, that's all I can write with the little time I have right now. I miss you guys OH so much! BUt I trust that God will continue to work greatly back home, just as He is doing here with me. WHAT YOU CAN BE PRAYING FOR: 1) Pray that God will continue to show/reveal things to me as I continue to be rooted in the Word, prayer, and fellowship here. 2) I need to rely on God and trust Him wherever He leads me. ...ok so I had some more but I forget. I'll most likely write it up for the next entry. Much love and blessings, Anna
