Ok so it has been forever since I have been able to update you guys... here is an effort to put you all up to speed :) As you read please keep me in your prayers! Miss you guys very much!

My current location is Daegu South Korea, this is the 3rd largest city in South Korea. I'm a little over 3 hours away from Seoul( the capital of South Korea). Orientation was a total of 2 and a half weeks. I met some of the coolest people God has placed in my path. We had great times starting the adaptation process to this different culture. I was praying hard that God wouldn't send me too far from Seoul because I wanted to be close to Elsie. But I was also praying that He place me where He saw that I would do the best work for Him. As I was being trained my eyes were opened... I was like wow, you can really do sooo much for God over here for these people.

While I was in Seoul, I mentioned before that I had to get a medical check-up. My last week in orientation, Leo ( one of the big dogs in charge ;) pulls me aside and starts asking me some interesting questions (1. Have you taken any medications... and you can imagine the other ones along those lines.) I was like hmmmm....why do you ask? Apparently something had been found in one of my tests. Before your mind starts racing :P I had taken a Benadryl, apparently that contains some substances that are illegal here in Korea... I was like man... I just got here and I have to go... but God is good :) They still haven't called so I guess everything is ok ;)

Right before I left I was really getting tired of being pushed around by all the masses that you see in the capital.

While I was in Seoul, it was a blessing to see some friends from college that I hadn't seen in years some 4 years others up to 8 years. But it doesn't matter how much time goes by, I love the fact they regardless the time and the distance if you went to UAA you will forever be family :) I got to see Ito, J, Edgardo, Wilson and Carlos :)

I arrived here in Daegu May 2, and classes started May 3. No time to really settle in... And those first 2 weeks... MERCY! were those some first 2 weeks :)...to be continued...
