More fun in Korea

Hard to believe our time in Korea is almost done. Tomorrow we're off to Hong Kong (God willing) for a few days before we head home!
I'm going to talk about this pictures in reverse order. This morning Kelly & I got up early and went to a prayer service at her church (this is a picture on the church wall - sorry still sideways). Every morning they have worship, the Word & prayer starting at about 6 a.m. It's a great way to start the day! On Sundays, they have about 5-6 services with 2,000 coming just to the young adult service. Makes our church at home seem really small!

Yesterday we had fun with Kelly & her parents. We went to a part of Korea that has the most green space. It was really pretty there. We went to a Korean movie set - where they film Korean history movies. Bill is throwing a fake log! Earlier in the day, we went to a village from 500-600 years ago and we went to a mask performance. This was pretty funny as I was picked to do a Korean dance. Bill actually said I danced good! (that's a first - dancing is not my strong point) I kept thinking of Greg Erickson cause they do these slow movements in the dance so I just tried to copy the guy with the mask. It was embarrassing but fun! There were also these guys dressed up as a cow and they kept "peeing"/spraying water on the crowd with this pretend bull's "you know what". They tried pretend selling it to Bill! He had a good laugh about that.

Bill & I dressed up like Koreans. Bill thought he looked like he had Mickey Mouse ears on - haha.

We had more great Korean food.

The day before (Saturday), we went to a Yodel performance. Yes, they do have Swiss yodelling in Korea of all things! This was most enjoyable. Kelly is an excellent yodeller and has been a part of this group in the past. I especially enjoyed the Yodel blues singer.

Earlier on Saturday we went to the "poor church". We had a great time there. This is in an illegal dwelling area where there are many people with mental problems, alcohol problems, etc. Kelly does prayer & worship ministry on Saturdays with some other young people from her church. Bill found the wiring somewhat interesting. The gentleman in the photo is a neat story. Usually he's not open to people from church talking to him and definitely not praying with him (usually he just walks away). Bill asked if he could pray for him and he agreed to prayer for the first time! That was pretty exciting - yeh God! There was a great service and prayer time, then Bill had the opportunity to share with the church volunteers after the service. It was neat to hear that it agreed with what the leader had shared in service even though Bill couldn't have known what it was about (but God did).
