Thanksgiving and First Snow!

Despite being away from our families, we had a great Thanksgiving. We celebrated with some new friends we met a couple of weeks ago, as well as with some people who were new to us. When everyone is away from home, you know that you just need to take them in so all can celebrate. We were particularly blessed because one person who ate with us was a "friend of a friend." We'd never met him, and I know that he felt welcome because he told the guy who brought him that we were "the nicest people he'd ever met." I believe that Jesus worked through us this weekend to show this man Christ's hospitality. That's worth being in Korea to me!

Take a look below at the meal we accomplished with two stove burners and a toaster oven! Pictured are two new friends: Jennie (L) and Maritza (R).
Here are some visions of the first snow in Anyang. It's averaging about 25 degrees at night and 40 in the daytime. This snowstorm arrived with thunder and lightning, too!
Below: you can see where the market food comes from! This man is loading cabbages on to his wheelbarrow.

This is a family gravesite. You can see these all over the hillsides when you hike through the woods.



That's all! Thanks for the phone calls and packages we've received. It's a special feeling to feel "thought of." We love you!
