Well life has been pretty good here so far. We never seem to run out of people who want to take us out to lunch or dinner! We've been here for 10 days been taken to countless homes and restaurants and never been allowed to pay. Very few meals at home. There are great advantages to having a well-liked wife from a well-liked family! One of the guys who took us out is an aspiring politician who is actually good friends with the Korean President. He is aiming to be mayor of Busan within the next 10 years and says he'll make me Busan's ambassador to Canada. No word on how much that gig pays. :)
Ami's sister Marie and her family left early this morning for a sabbatical in Israel so the house feels pretty empty. Ami's dad's church has decided to make me useful out here, so their having me do some English stuff in Sunday School and possibly something with the youth. Part of their advertising technique is to plant me in front of the entrance of the local elementary and the kids react as if an alien has landed among them. Not many tall white guys in the area. I quickly lost track of the number of times I was asked, "What is your name?," "How are you?" "How old are you?" Some of them show up at church on Sunday so they can stare at me some more! Well, that, plus that fact that they run a really fun Sunday School program.
The first Sunday was fun and it looks like this could end up being somewhat of a missions trip!
I'm even getting a chance to do some tutoring (with some very hyper little girls). God is good! Thanks for all your prayers!
