An nyeong!

I'm learning Korean! I'm reading the Bible with a Korean lass, and every second week she teaches me some Korean. I can say things like hello, hello politely, my name is, what's happening, yes, no, awkward. Also, for some reason, do you want to die, which is an aggressive phrase that some young Koreans say to their friends as a joke but shouldn't be used as a conversation starter. 

Also I can say goodbye. Jai ga!

Working with International students

I work about one day a week with FOCUS for international students. Aside from the constant "pardon?" I have noticed another interesting thing. This showed up on my Facebook news feed.

I'm sure it's very funny...

The first day of my new job!

It was nice. There was discussion on our (mine and Andy, the other new MTSer's) reasons for doing MTS and what are our expectations. Also we talked about what is hoped to be achieved and what the most important things are, what are the unique opportunities and challenges of university ministry, and how much I get paid. 

When I got home, I attempted a budget to see if I really can afford to live on it...

In other news, I get to work with FOCUS, the international student group!
