Amie’s Arrival!


Amie came and felt as jetlagged as could be expected from the 16 hour time change. Peter was, of course, overeager to show her everything that he learned. We walked in the park and around Sunae. In the afternoons Amie observed while other teachers taught. She will have a very firm grasp on the process before she starts Monday! On Wednesday we were invited to a welcome dinner with our co-workers and employers. We had a very fancy Korean BBQ meal and were able to practice eating with chopsticks and experience some Korean customs. The director gave us a very nice set of shampoo and conditioner that smells like ginseng.


Thursday at small group she was welcomed by the group who gave us a cake! We were expecting to cut it up with everyone, but they put it back in the box and sent it home with us. It is very good and mostly consists of yogurt, a very interesting and delicious dessert. They sang to us a welcoming song in Korean and had candles and the whole bit. We meet in a Dunkin’ Doughnuts (of all places) but they say that the owner is happy to host the group as long as we pray for them every week.
