Costco.

I rode the subway to church this morning. It takes about an hour, which isn't too bad. I met Shannon and Reuel in Gangnam for lunch. Dos Tacos. Mexican food in Korea. :) Church was great! I got to hear Pastor Doug speak for my first time, since last Sunday we had a guest speaker. He was hilarious. New Harvest is promoting small groups this year, so they are pushing for everyone to get involved in a community. Pastor Doug talked about the 35 SMALL GROUPS that are available-wow! I found out today that our congregation attendance is about 1200 people. It's so incredible to me to see God moving in South Korea!!

I'm going to sign up for an all-women's small group. We will be focusing on our unique roles as Christian women, how to walk in purity, and seek out God's purpose for our lives. I think it will be really good for me to be a part of a small group of girls, where we can support and encourage one another. Small groups will officially be starting in September.

After church, Shannon, Reuel, and I went to Costco. It's just like the Costco and Sam's Club in the States. Shannon and I are going to get a membership together, because they have really essential things that we can't find in the local markets. Also, it's just plain cheaper. I didn't buy anything today, but Shannon found Cheese. Real, sharp cheddar cheese. Yum. They also have fresh fruit, which is much better than you'll find at a local market. The membership only costs $35, so Shannon and I will split that.

I'm going running later tonight when it cools off a little bit. Since Monsoon season ended, it has been nothing but beautiful here. It's pretty hot, but without that Florida humidity that I'm not missing! Tomorrow morning, I'm going to the immigration office to FINALLY pick up my Alien Registration Card!! I can't wait! Darren is going to help me set up a bank account tomorrow, too, and transfer in my first paycheck. WOOHOO!! That will be a huge relief to me.
