Hello dear friends!
We've been in South Korea for almost a week, and we are having a great time! We're very familiar with the campus now, and we've all had many chances to talk to our families (: It's also been a blessing to read encouraging cards and notes from home too!
This morning we had our first worship service in Korea (it's Sunday morning here). It was so wonderful! One of the leaders of the forum, Joshua Kang, led us in beautiful worship songs, and one of the speakers from the forum, Brad Huddleston, opened the Word of God to us. The Lord has blessed us so richly, and he has answered so many of our prayers!
We have been studying the book Humility by C.J. Mahaney together. It has been a challenge and a blessing for all of us. Hebrews 3:13 tell us,
"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness."
Our quiet after breakfast devotion times have been so sweet for reminding us of God's truth and building each other up and seeking the Lord together! We are so thankful that the Lord has given us unity and has helped us to get along so well (:
This afternoon, we are going a place called Andong, which is known for producing traditional Korean masks. We will also be doing some touring tomorrow and Tuesday. We are especially excited to go to Seoul on Tuesday!
Last night we had a Gala right before the closing ceremony of the 2013 Global Youth Forum. The Gala was one of my favorite parts of the trip so far! [One of my other highlights has been running through the village, country roads, or rice fields in the early mornings :)] We dressed up and had a fancy dinner in the Vision Café here on campus. It was a catered meal, and it was sooo good!!! The food was amazing, and everyone loved it. They had spreads of salads, fruits, sushi, nuts, skewers, stir frys, desserts, and more.
"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
With love,
Jaime

Jaime, LOVE seeing the pics, thank you!!!! It makes it even that much more real for us at home :) Can't imagine how beautiful it must be running through the rice fields- all that beautiful green! Yet another reminder of what an artist our God is! Keep the pics coming and hoping each of you are keeping up with your journals!!! Love to all 7 of you! Mama G
