We have already been in our new city for a month, and in our new home for a week! Wahoo! It’s nice to have “unpacked” for the last time! When we first arrived, we spent 2 nights in a hotel, before moving to a temporary living facility, which I was thankful for, because it actually had a kitchen. We were there for 3 weeks before our apartment was ready. I even was able to cook a pork tenderloin in a convection microwave- which I think is pretty impressive! We also, just purchased a car! It’s amazing what you can live without. We have walked everywhere, and it’s been great!

I am surprised just how much I like South Korea. I thought for sure there would be a curve where I would dislike while trying to get my bearings/ adjust to a new culture/ language/ food. There is just so much to explore, there is no reason to dislike it. So far, I am in love with all of the cafes, and thai/ sushi places. Also the nail salons are inexpensive, and they do an amazing job. $6 for a brow wax? Heck yes!

The community here is fantastic! I have heard before that a “fighter squadron” is different from other squadrons, and it really is true! Our sponsor met us at the airport, took us to our hotel, brought us groceries, and gave us a tour to make sure we kind of new our way around. It was so awesome. By the end of the week, just based on events going on, and people being outgoing, I had made quite a few friends. I do think I am in a weird place, because we are children-less yet in our 30’s. I know that my liver and body can not keep up with the 26 year olds, yet we can go out without having to arrange for a sitter.

I can definitely see the Lord’s provision throughout this journey. Nothing has really gone as planned, yet everything turned out just fine.
