Making new friends, and reconnecting with friends.

    This post is all about friends.  Thursday I went to the Korean traditional folk village just outside of Seoul with new friends I met at the Woncheon Church last Sunday. It was great to go around and look at a traditional folk village, and spend sometime with folk that are around the same age as me so I can understand a bit more of what life is like for young adults. Here is the picture of me with Nara.

Here is a picture of me with her husband dressed in Korean traditional costume (for the occasion!)

Then on Friday I went to see Dr Dongwan Kim, his wife and son. It was lovely to see them all, especially as they have all been to WPBC on a Sunday, and to find out how life is with them. It was also quite exciting that his new books have now been published, including explanations of biblical text and study guides for churches. Looking forward to reading it when it is translated into English. We then had lunch with one of the Elders and his wife at Darim Methodist Church. Then I met some Korean's who are planning to come over to the UK to study. I tried to help them as much as I could in the practical questions they had about housing, schooling, car insurance, churches, integration, weather, health care, and shopping. It gave me another insight into some of the concerns that folk have when they come to the UK.

Then in the evening it was great to see very good friends of mine; Yongbom and Diana (friends from Bristol). I have been staying with Yongbom's parents since being here and it is wonderful to see them again. Really looking forward to spending time with them also during the next few days.
