I'm sitting at Mr 정 광 수's (my new room-mate) Computer in the international dorm of Yonsei's Korean Languge institute. The last few days have been great:
I said goodbye to Loved ones last wednesday and Thursday, then headed to Heathrow.
As always, my flights seemed full of the Lord's guidence. I spoke to a Korean man who is a CEO. I told him what I was doing and he said that I could let him know if I need any support. I don't know what he meant by 'support', but it was simply nice to make a friend. Then on the flight I was sat next to a German Guy called 'Tihlo'. We talked for the first 2 hours about everything. Life, God, Hitler!!! He was raised a Catholic and has been really discouraged by it. Hopefully seeds were sown. Pray for him. Then In Hong Kong I was able to practice some Korean with another man on the flight.
So I arrived in Incheon, found my way to Seoul and met Chris and Ian, my Y.W.A.M house mates. They really looked after me and took me shopping for the things I needed.
I unpacked at the University on Friday. This is meant to be an international dorm, but I just so happened to get a Korean room mate who doesnt speak much English. This will really work in my favor as I try to learn the language. I believe that it is God's providence. I haven't met too many of the studets yet. One from Brazil (Ricado), one from Germany (Nando), someone from an African country that I'd never heard of!!! And a couple others.
Korea definatly feels different this time. Last time I felt overshadowed by the size of the place, the culture, language, smells and everything. Now it feels somewhat familiar. My Korean is growing already and the school hasn't started.
The future, as always, weighs on my mind. But I'm learning to leave that in Jesus' hands. I miss people.......But I''m so happy to have this opportunity. God is so Good.
The University is one of the most beautiful places I've seen. The trees and buildings and just everything. I'm looking forward to Autumn!
So tomorrow is my placement test. They will check my Korean speaking, reading, writing, Grammar and then put me in a suitable class.
I'll keep this updated.
Love
P.S. Today I went to the Naked spa! felt sligtly weird. Enjoyed the massage!
