Seafood

   So after the festival we ventured around the island trying to find somewhere to eat. We were looking around trying to find the right restaurant then bam at the end of some road we thought would just be a dead end there was a beachfront restaurant with a great view. Now the picture there of the beach isn’t at restaurant, but was at the Festival. Still it was a  nice beach. We had fun being able to munch on a seafood and cook it ourselves. Well the Daniels cooked it, I just enjoyed the food, but after a couple of burns and close eye splatter encounters we all ate and were filled with good food and great fellowship.

    Yesterday we went on a little road trip and   headed North. We went on our first island trip here in  South Korea, to Anmyan Do(Anmyan Island). They were there hosting a two month long Flower Festival to ring in the spring season. They had flowers all around, big exhibits talking about flowers, flower shops, flowers, flowers, and flowers. Still even, though it was only a three guy trip(Daniel Kim, Daniel Sedota, and me),  we still had a lot of fun taking pictures and enjoying the scenery, and of coarse enjoying the coast.

While the cats away, the mice will behave=]

 

 

 

    Pastor Mike, his wife Hye-Young, and their daughter Jeena are leaving tomorrow, Monday the 17th. They’ll be gone for about 12  days visiting friends and family back in the states. Hopefully while there, they’ll get a lot of rest and fill up on Mexican food before they return. Please pray for them and for us, as it’s a step of faith for them leave and a step for us to make sure everything is taken care of while there gone, either way the Lord is in charge=]. Have fun guys, God bless you! Have fun at Living Water Wednesday night.”Jeena, what are you doing.”

Japanese restaurant

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

             Right next to the church, a new Japanese food restaurant just opened up. So we ended up having a boys grub night out. Actual Japanese food is almost as rare to find out here as Mexican food…okay maybe not that bad but pretty close. This restaurant was actually really good for it’s price, but the best part was just being able to get to know some of the guys better. One word of advice though, even if you really miss wasabi, soy sauce, and mizo…don’t mix a lot together and chub it down=/.

Art show

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  This weeks adventures with Pastor John, was cancelled. Well not quiet, we still got to go on an adventure but Pastor John stayed back this time. We ended up going to an art gallery exhibition. It ended up being Joseph, a brother whom we met earlier at one of the neighboring universities, there in Cheoneon. We had such a great time. It was sweet being able to tour the art show with the artist himself, seeing into what was molded for what reason. Every canoe you see is made of clay and represents Joseph’s life; circumstances, events, emotions, etc. Definitely a blessed time seeing the beautiful gift of art God has given him, and encouraging him to keep using it for God’s glory. God bless you Joseph keep rocking bro!

Taco Bell

Monday we were able to go up to the Osan US Air Force Base. Cob, one of the guys from Calvary Chapel Cheoneon, used to be in the army and still has base access today. He was able to sign us on and take us to TACO BELL. Being away from the states, sometimes you can’t help but crave the Mexican food. MMMMMMMM…even the Mexican American fast food, so grubbing down at Taco Bell definitely hit the spot. It was really cool being in a military base again, and it was a big reminder of how many American’s are actually stationed here. Cob has been praying and trying to make preparations for a bible study there on the base, and prayerfully everything will come together soon. Lord bless you and open doors of ministry tremendously for you bro, thanks again Cob, God bless you.

Expo Park-South Korea

Today we were able to have the Saturday Afternoon off and free. So Mike and Hye-Young took us to the Expo Park here in South Korea...no it's not an aquarium. It's a Learning/Science Exposition, with a lot of fun things for kids to play on. We can't let the kids have all the fun so we got to join in too=]. We rode little go carts, rode a quadricycle around the park, watched some Tae-Kwon Doe board braking show, and messed around on the playgoround. We all had a lot of fun. It was sweet being able to finally getting to go in, seeing how we pass by it constantly on the road. We can now officially say we've gone.

Growing

Saturday mornings we have a foundations study led by Danny and Pastor Mike's wife Hye-Young. It's so great to continue to see the studies grow more and more. Before the study we all get to feast on an American style breakfast, mmmmm soooo good...eggs, cereal, granola and yogurt, Quaker's oatmeal, ramyen soups, and all sorts of good juices. We continue to grow waist wise but even greater it's awesome to see His children grow spiritually wise. The groups continue to learn more of the wonderful living God we serve, and continue to realize the great plans God has called them in their lives. It really has been amazing. Praise God for His faithfulness=].

HE'S BACK

Well the bull arrived, safe and sound. It seemed like He had a good flight and a blessed bus ride back. Daniel is refreshed and ready to pick up where he left off. After a welcome home feast with the landlady and her sweet restaurant, the city decided to celebrate Danny's return with fireworks in his honor. Noooo...just kiddin...the four day flower festival is going on right now, and we were able to view the fireworks from our roof top. It was pretty sweet and hopefully...I think well be going to the festival soon too. Danny glad to have you back bro! Welcome back bUddy!

Buridogg

Since Daniel has been away, I've been able to sub in for him with some of the kids he gets to help out with on Thursday night. The kids were really funny and had me laughing most of the time, but tonight they also had some more friends over. In Japan we played rock paper scissors with a cheek pinching twist. I won't spell it right, but it's called buridog. The whole game is playing rock paper scissors, but as a penalty for the loser, they have to have one of their cheeks pinched. After two penalties...so two loses, both cheeks are being squeezed, the winner pinches them harder, rubs them around, then as hard as they can clips their fingers off the losers cheeks leaving them red and burning. Well and as you can see from the pictures, the kids really enjoyed and had a great time.

Recycle Shop

The legacy of one man's trash is another man's treasure continues... Recycle shops (second hand store...pretty much same thing) are really sometimes a gift from God....hee hee. We've been looking around for a medium size refrigerator to put in the church. We've been able to find some good ones here and there but nothing that was just right. Today walking around a little bit by Pastor Mike's old neighborhood we saw a recycle shop, decided to go in, and found the just right little refrigerator we've been looking for. It fit perfectly in the corner, came at a good price, and didn't have a fermented cabbage smell=]. The best part, in Korea, delivery is free.

Children's Day

Tuesday was Children's daY! One thing is true, you never realize how many people there actually are here in South Korea until a holiday. Of coarse you realize that there's a lot because of all the occupied 15 story plus apartment buildings, but on a holiday you actually see all the people out. The streets were packed and traffic was galore. We were originally planning to go to an exhibit park here in Daejeon but WAY too much traffic, we couldn't even get into the parking lot. Well long story short, we went to Bennigans and celebrated Children's day there. After that Kalvin and I met up and celebrated on our own with some shooting star ice-cream. What's shooting start? It's sherbet ice-cream with pop rocks=]...pretty good too. Happy Children's day.

Bike of Champs

This is James, he's a really cool brother that use to help on the worship team here at Calvary Chapel Daejeon when it first started. Tuesday he was able to come back down to Daejeon and have lunch with us. It was really cool, recently he traveled around Europe in Italy. He showed us his main means of transportation, this sweet super portable bike. It does look kind of funky but it was sweet. Folds right up and can be taking anywhere. Hopefully James will be able to visit us again and allow to ride around on his sweet bike, untill then God bless you James!

He is Great and Mighty

As most of you know, Sunday afternoons is the English Children's afternoon Sunday School class up in Asan city(man got to think of a shorter name, Pastor Sam's Church). For some time this was this little girl coming in week by week brought to the study by her older brother. There was something different about this little girl though, every week she came in, she came coughing, really sickly looking, and always looked exhausted. Her brother looked fine but of coarse being in kids ministry, checked to see if everything was alright at home. Everything turned out to be good, but for some reason this girl just week after week looked terrible. We then after the service took her aside and prayed. A.W. Tozer reminds us that a church who only proclaims of God's healing touch and miraculous works but does not partake through faith in them is a non effective church. James also exhorts for those who are sick to be prayed for by the elders, and for us to be doers of the word and just hearers. Now I'm not an elder but it was such a beautiful praise report to see this use to be sickly child show up Sunday morning with a non stop smile on her face, praising God in her joy, with not one cough in sight. Such a beautiful reminder of the power in the name Jesus Christ, in His name there's healing, love, and Joy. Every thing we need is in Him, and in His name we can make all request unto the Father in faith through the name Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord=]!

Peter...hee hee

Alright yes I know, random blog, but I told Peter I was going to put this one up of him on my blog...Tada. Peter is one the guys from the Orphanage English Study Saturday Afternoons. He's so funny, we usually have a lot of fun with him. Well with him and ofcoarse his "loving" English ways. He's a really cool guy though, but still we would like to see more of him and all the other great guys and gals from the study. Cool part is that it looks like Peter might be attending the Jinsoo English institute soon(which is across town) so pray for him, that he would grow in his English skills but even more so grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Here ya go Peter, God bless you brada!

Daejeon's O' World

Today was Zoo Day. Pastor Mike and Hye-young took us to the Zoo. It was a lot of fun. We got to see all kinds of animals; monkeys, tigers, bears, goats, camels, prairie dogs...hee hee, alligators, snakes, and many many more. Today was a holiday, so it was really packed(workers day or something like that), so everyone was off work and at the zoo. Well at least it seemed liked everyone. After shooting around the bubble gun, seeing most the exhibits, and getting tired...we packed up and went to go EAT=]. It was a sweet place, because not only was it a zoo but also like a mini Knott's Berry Farm. Next time we go we'll have take a Church group=].
