Abby.

I woke up really early this morning, and after many attempts at forcing myself to go back to sleep, I got out of bed at 7:15am and got ready for church. Because I was so ahead of schedule, I ended up getting to Gangnam earlier than usual. I walked around the underground shopping area of the subway for a bit while I waited to meet Abby.

Abby arrived just before 11, and we hit it off right away. She’s a really great girl, and we talked all through lunch up until the church service started. She’s from Canada, and she just graduated from college this past May, just like I did when I first came to Korea. Abby really enjoyed the church service and wants to come back and get more involved! I was really happy to hear that!

After church, I showed Abby the bookstore across the street called Kyobo Tower. She fell in love with it right away, as I suspected she would. She said she wants to go back next week after she’s made a list of school supplies she needs. So exciting!

I showed Abby where her bus picked up to go back to Suwon, and I then headed into the subway. Now that I live in Seoul, it only took me 30 minutes to get home by subway, compared to the hour and a half it took when I lived in Suwon. I’m super excited about that! I went straight back to the hotel, and I’ve been relaxing ever since. I’m probably going to watch some movies and eventually wander out for some dinner. I also need to get my stuff in order for tomorrow. Training starts at 10am, and I want to make sure I know exactly how to get there and have everything I need. Training should be interesting…wish me luck!
