This weekend was packed full of fun! It was pretty relaxed, but it was still non-stop. On Friday night I got off work early and headed to Shannon's place, as usual. We ate BBQ for dinner that night with some of Shannon's co-workers, before heading home.
On Saturday morning, we woke up and headed to Gangnam. We were taking a two-hour class so we could become members of New Harvest, the church we've been attending now for just over two months. Reuel, Shannon, and I went to the class together. It was really informative, and we met a bunch of newbies just like us! And now, I'm proud to say, that I'm officially a member of Sarang Community Church, New Harvest Ministry, in South Korea!! :)
This past week, my washer decided to literally EAT my clothes. I put one load in that came out just fine. The second load I put in was all my "cold clothes," clothes for the cold weather, I mean. Long sleeve shirts, leggings, sweaters. All my cold clothes. I took them out of the wash to find them completely shredded. I didn't change the settings from the first load, so I'm not sure what happened there. Either way, I only had two long sleeve shirts left, no leggings, and no sweaters. Since it's already in the 40's and 50's here, it was imperative that I go shopping soon!
Our shopping trip was a very successful one! I was able to get really good deals on what I bought, and re-stock my wardrobe again. After a long RAINY day of shopping, we headed back to Shannon's place. We bought ramen at the GS25, along with some snacks, and headed upstairs. We ate our food and watched Princess Diaries 1 and 2. :)
On Sunday morning, we woke up early and headed to Gangnam once again. We went to Dos Tacos for lunch, which has become our weekly routine before church. This Sunday, Reuel's friend from back home AND Tommy both joined us for lunch and church. It was great to see Tommy at church, and we're hoping he'll come with us again. :)
After church, we hung out in a coffee shop for a few hours and just chatted. It was great to catch up with Tommy, and it's always nice to get to know other people, too. Reuel's friend was really sweet! At 4pm, Reuel and I both left for small group. My small group was wonderful, as usual. I always feel so refreshed after leaving. My small group meets at a coffee shop down the block from the church. I ordered coffee when I got there, and gave the lady my credit card. When she went to swipe my card, she accidentally dropped my card in a crack between the register and the counter. Wonderful. She spent a few minutes trying to get it, but was unsuccessful. Finally, she told her boss and another co-worker, and they were both on their hands and knees looking for the card. At one point, the boss brought out a few different screwdrivers and began taking the counter apart. He also took these glass panels off, so it turned into a big mess! I ended up getting my coffee for free, which was wonderful since it was extremely overpriced anyway! :) An hour later, they finally gave me my card. That was quite an adventure.
After small groups, Shannon, Reuel, and I went to Anyang to do a little bit more shopping. It was an area of town that we had never been to, so that was fun to see. We ate dinner out there, too, at a really yummy restaurant. They had all the traditional Korean dishes, but it was especially delicious I thought. We did our shopping after we ate, and then the three of us parted ways.
All in all, our weekend was a success!! I was able to replenish my wardrobe, became a member of my church, and met new friends!! What more could I ask for? :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLEST SISTER, JODI LEAH. SHE TURNS 14 TODAY! :) I LOVE YOU, JODI!
