What a Weekend!

After a busy but great first week of school, Sarah and I were blessed enough to take in an incredibly fun and fun-packed weekend with our good friends and fellow teachers.

Saturday morning we attended our first Korean language class at Dongshin Church. It was incredible! We spent the lesson learning the Korean alphabet and Hangul lettering. It's very challenging, but the class has a 3 to 1 student to teacher ratio. Sarah, myself, and our good friend Jen had our own teacher working directly with the three of us. It was so nice to have this close interaction and hands on interaction with the language. We can't wait for the next lesson!

In downtown Daegu with a...um...mascot???

Saturday afternoon and evening we hung out with friends in downtown Daegu, which is absolutely incredible and jam packed full of fun things to do. We spent most of the day wandering from shop to shop, and we even got to see an incredible dance performance. We found an English-speaking movie theatre, and we even got to eat Mexican food for dinner...YUM!

Incredible dance performance we saw in downtown Daegu...AWESOME!

Today we spent the day with our good friends Chris and Kat on the U.S. military base, Camp George. We attended a Catholic mass, ate at Taco Bell, and had a great time getting to know our new friends a little bit more.

Thankful for another incredible weekend here in our new home, and so grateful for a foundation of friends to keep us company in this big new world!!
