Mid-term Update

Things are going well here in Samho~ ^^
It's been about 3 months!!  So~ 1/2 of my time here.. it's going by too quickly >.<

I have still been traveling a lot, every weekend..ㅎㅎ(oh and i LOVE this laugh)  Out of the places I've traveled, I especially love going to Busan!  It's such a beautiful city~ the beaches and the Jalgachi Fish Market are so cool!! I can put some pics up soon (or you can see a bunch of them on facebook!! ^^).  I have also been to a few flower festivals, which are HUGE here.. theyre always going on.  I feel bad because I have never spent a whole weekend with my homestay family, but they seem to think it's okay... ㅎ

As for teaching~ it's been a bit tough.  The kids are getting more and more used to me, and this past week especially I had a hard time controlling them.  But I realized some mistakes I was making, and so far things are a bit better! We'll see hehe~ And I'm going to try a new reward system with stickers for the class, so if one kid is not listening the whole class will get upset and help me out in getting him/her under control haha : ).

Another cool thing is that I found a church that I like!
목포제일교회: Mokpo's Best Church (ㅎㅎㅎ)
Oldest English Service in Mokpo (12 years old)
The people love the Lord and their mission is to love and serve the foreigners of Mokpo.  They seemed to genuinely care about me as a sister, and not just because I'm a cool foreigner, ㅎㅎ. I really thank God for leading me to this church~

Soo~ life is good : ) There are always ups n downs, but God has blessed me a lot through those downs... He really is good! And I thank the Lord for people who have been an encouragement to me here in Korea and back at home!  I love you guys!
