ONE WEEK COUNTDOWN
Today was the last day of my mini break from school (courtesy of Finals testing). It is also exactly one week before I will teach my last class for this grant year! I am eager to teach the last four-five classes I have left, to start packing my things, to begin the process of moving from one homestay to another, and, most of all, to visit my family in the U.S.
The countdown until my flight home is almost unbearable. I am so very thirsty for my family's embrace.
Lord, be with me these next few days in Korea. Sustain me and help me finish well what you enabled me to start a year ago. Thank You for the company of these teachers, who nourish me with great food and conversation. Through a simple lunch invitation today, they have unknowingly helped to disrupt an impressively deep sense of loneliness that has settled over me lately. I thank You for Your presence.
VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT
 |
| There were eight of us who met together for lunch |
 |
| The rest of the restaurant on the 8th floor |
 |
| Colorful vegetables! I thought of Mama and her health-conscious cooking with every bite I took |
 |
I like the first two sauces (the third one was too spicy for me).
Even this tray of sauces reminded me of Mama. She is a talented cook and makes her own sauces, too! |
 |
| All kinds of healthy on our table! |
 |
| Before being rolled into a tasty, bite-sized goodness! |
