Christmas!

Well, Christmas has come and gone. We were really busy with a number of things.

Last Wednesday Stephanie and I went over to Lotte World. Lotte is a big company, I think mostly specializing in being a department store, but it's a huge brand here that is all over many items. They also have the Lotte Mall, and attached to that is Lotte World, an amusement park. We went over there at night. Half of it is inside and half outside. We stayed inside and went on some rides, like the carousel, the small log ride, and a couple of rides that were very similar to Disneyland, where you ride around the inside of some caves and see fake pirate-esque characters.

Also, we had our Christmas party for the 20s group at our church. It was very busy and hectic, but we had fun. We sent them out on a photo scavenger hunt, where they had to get pictures of certain things, and pose like lawn ornaments or the nativity scene. There were some great pictures in the end. We ordered pizza, exchanged gifts, and then some people spent the night. It was all held at our friend Brian's place.

A bunch of us. There were more people, but many had to catch the subway home. Here are the people left over at about 9:30.


Monday morning (Christmas) we got up, hung out a little, and then headed over to the church to tape down some fliers for the Christmas service, as directions. There was a huge joint English service provided by all of the English ministries in the Seoul area. It was a really neat service. As soon as it gets put online (my church puts everything on the internet), I'll share the link with you. There were some great choirs, and some cool kids, and it was just neat to be there with all of these other English speakers.

All in all, a very busy weekend. Back to work this week, and then New Year's is coming!
