Ending off Friday with my kinders making cereal necklaces, reviewing with my 3rd graders, and finishing off the English play was fun. Teaching can be fun! And also making jokes while our mentor teacher drove us back from where the skit was held was a great way to bond with a few of my students. And of course memories like squishing five of my students in the back seat because we didn’t have enough space made it all the more memorable.
Friday I left for Gwangju early to attend a surprise bridal shower because bridal parties are uncommon in Korea. A few of my sisters in Christ planned a French themed party because the bride to be is going to France on her honeymoon :). Congratulations Sunny on getting married! So many people are getting married, engaged, pregnant, and dating. Such a different transition from being in uni whereas much of my friends were single but still a blessing to be part of that.
Anyhoos, I finally got to serve on Sunday and it was soooo nice. I joined the greeting team a few weeks ago and although it isn’t much, it is awesome that I am able to serve the church in someway.
Today I asked one of my students who works better one on one if she wanted to be tutored again and she agreed! She has been in my thoughts and prayers lately. My mentor teacher told me that she used to get sick a lot but recently she’s been smiling a lot more and texts my mentor teacher with cute messages. She’s so adorable. Although she isn’t the most financially well off student in my school, she still gives me snacks here and there and smiles a ton when she sees me.
God has been so good to me in Korea. Although I’ve failed to see it often times, praise God for grace so undeserving. Praise God for the Gospel. Praise God for life. Praise God for community. Praise God for conversations about God. Praise God for His sovereignty. Praise God for Jesus. Thank you Jesus.
