Sunday, October 10, 2010

Time quietly marches forward. It is now 10.10.10 + 01 (Oct. 11, 2010) in Busan, South Korea. So much has happened for us here that often it is difficult to decide what photos to share. It may seem like all we do is travel and do fun things with our friends, but we do have a routine of responsibilities at the mission office. We also teach English three times a week, and often it is a member or members of our English classes that show us around this amazing country.
