As you can probably tell from the lack of updates, we have been very busy with lesson planning and school. It is going very well; we are starting to get to know the students a lot better and are really enjoying them. Ryan's students, being highschoolers, are especially inquisitive about his views on certain issues and will often stay after class to discuss. We are beginning to feel a lot more at home in Seoul. A big part of that is that our friend, Will Cote, is back in town along with his little sister and brother-in-law, Cara & Toby Kellogg, who are here to teach English. We are very thankful to have them near by. Today we all went to an afternoon church service in what is hands down the best looking church we've attended so far.

The other night we all went to play darts together. The boys befriended some Koreans there and played a darts tournament. Here are Ryan and his partner (making the kimchi sign) after their win.

A few weekends ago, our friend, Sarah Huffines, from Chattanooga came through Seoul with some friends. She introduced us to Lisa (in the green) and we got to enjoy some "mexican" food with her before she returned to another city where she attends law school.
We've been enjoying walks along the Han river. In Korea, there are community workout machines in public parks. The elderly especially frequent the parks and exercise. There was a heated game of senior croquet going on near here as well.
