Home groups

Every Friday we have faculty & student home groups. During our home groups we focus on getting to know the students and building relationships with them. Each week we enjoy a "merienda" or large snack. This usually includes 2 home made goodies (cookies, cake, muffins, etc) that I (Lindsey) bake and chips and one other item. We also play a game together. This week a student taught us a traditional Korean game. Wesley and Addie were voted the best players! Our home group always ends in a time of praying for each other. It is always a great time of getting to know our students a little bit better.

Family Photo

Missionaries take lots of pictures. A family photo is frequently needed for a church or newsletter. Today we attempted to take a photograph for a church that requested an updated photo of the family. As with any family with little kids, getting a good picture can be a challenge. Check out the pictures below for a good laugh at our attempts to get an acceptable family picture. We gave up on getting a great picture after about 10 attempts.

"Everyone sit down!"

"Smile nicely Wesley!"

"Where is Addie?"

"Hudson, Hudson, look up Hudson!"

"Let me fix your hair."

"Oh no! A cloud just passed over us. This picture is to dark!"

"Just one more picture!"

"This will have to do!"

Lunch with Cara

Last Friday Cara, one of our students took the family out to lunch. She wanted to thank Lindsey for helping her study for the English entrance exam. She passed it and now is taking two of Chris' classes.

We went to a Korean BBQ where we cooked the meat at our own table. The kids thought this was great. The food was tasty. Chris especially enjoyed the kimchi and Lindsey liked the soup.

Young Kids Bible Club

Young Kids Bible Club has started again with the new trimester. We just had our third meeting yesterday. The kids are enjoying it and learning more about Jesus. This week we learned about Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane. After play time and song time the kids helped act out the story. Then we played a game and the children prayed for each other. At craft time the kids finger painted praying hands. We ended Bible club with a snack and table toys.
