We just began our 2nd year living in Seoul. After a wonderful summer of rest, we have come back rejuvinated and excited to begin. Last week was our first school week and it has been so good to see former students and meet new ones. The girls in this picture are seventh graders that come to after school discipleship group that Abby helps to lead once a week. There are many new teachers at our school; below is the middle school staff on the first day. The high school doesn't seem to have anyone gathering them for mandatory photo shoots yet, so there are no pictures of Ryan and his co-workers. There will be some soon maybe.
We got together with some friends and went to a baseball game last night. By the time we got there, the only tickets left were standing only. We managed to find us a pretty good little spot and were even occasionally able to sit down on the stairs. We were definitely in close quarters, but it was fun that way. 
I (Abby) have to say that baseball games in Korea are far more exciting to attend than baseball games in the U.S.A. There is so much passion and energy the ENTIRE game. The fans never stop cheering, even if they are down 7 runs. The fans do organized cheers and songs in perfect unity. The boys all had a traditional Korean baseball snack, a dried squid.
It has been really hot this week. Today we went with our friend, Jung Mi, to eat cold noodle soup with ice in it and some kimchi mandu. 
We passed this sweet little sign in our neighborhood walking home from the bus stop. We're feeling happy to be back and looking forward to a new year.
