Tomorrow will begin my fourth week of being here. It is really amazing how fast time is flying. I have already made so many good memories here and I know that God has many more for me to endure.
If I was still in the states, I would be going to my second home around this time: Camp Bond. When I first decided to come to South Korea, I didn't think that Camp was as big of a part of my life as I am now finding out. I am the person that I am today because four years ago, my roommate decided to apply to work somewhere for the summer. Never would I have dreamed that the job I was applying for was going to change my life forever. I remember the first day that I got there... I was there for about 30 minutes and then Dwight, my boss, had us go out to the pond and start burning off the dam... I couldn't help but think, "What have I gotten myself into??? This is manual labor!!!!" hahaha... I would do it all over again if I had the chance. I have learned about love and life at this place. I've endured physical exhaustion, complete brokenness, amazing joy, and even a little sadness, but that was the greatest choice I have ever made to this day. God put those people in my life for a reason, and I cannot even begin to explain how amazing they are! I love you guys!
Well, since I got that out, I suppose I could talk a little more about this country that I am in. I tried some squid and jellyfish the other day. It was different, but isn't that why I am here?? To experience things that I have not experienced before. If I just came here and spent my year and never did anything that was different, what is the point of me coming here?? I don't want to be that person... the one that lets an opportunity pass me by. I will have more to say after this week.... I know that things are just going to get better and better...
