A few things we forgot to mention...

1. We think we have found a good church home here in Tongyeong. We had been asking around for English churches or Korean churches with English services for a while with no luck. But then we found out that the church that our director and secretary go to has an English service! We found out about it three weeks ago and we have gone two Sundays so far, and we really like it. The sermon is delivered by an associate pastor who speaks English pretty well; he and his wife are from India and they have a 4-month old daughter. The music director, Jieun, leads us in praise and worship along with a Korean boy, named David, who plays piano. A Korean girl named Esther also attends. The first time we went, we were introduced to an American lady that had worked as an ESL teacher in Tongyeong for awhile and had gone to that church, but she was just visiting. There was also another Indian man at the first service, but he was leaving Korea to go back to India... so this past Sunday, it was just me, Katie, the pastor and his wife, David, Esther, and Jieun. Supposedly, there are some other members that attend the English service, but we haven't seen them yet.

2. We found the movie theater and saw "Push." We think that's what it's called, anyway. The first time we asked somebody where the theater was, they said it's in the yellow building. We were thinking, 'gee thanks... i'm sure there's a million of those around here.' There is literally one yellow building in all of Tongyeong haha. I'm still not quite sure why that is, but it's true. The cool thing about going to the movies here is that they don't dub over the voices, they use subtitles instead. The only problem is that they lower the volume of the voices, which sometimes makes it hard for us to hear what they're saying. Also, certain scenes in foreign languages that would normally have English subtitles in our theaters have only Korean ones here... so there were a couple scenes with Chinese people that we completely missed out on. We were just glad to find the theater and be able to listen to movies in English.

3. Today is March 23rd, which marks the beginning of our 23rd month together, and we are both 23 years old :) so that was cause for celebration today, although Team USA losing to Japan dampened the mood a tad. GO KOREA!!!
