Chelsie and I went for a bike ride this weekend. After about 20 minutes into the trip we stopped for some pictures and I discovered very quickly that I had forgot to put my memory card back into my camera. I therefore only had 6 shots that I could take on the camera's internal memory. It was disappointing, but on the other hand it was also a gentle reminder that we need to enjoy the moment. I sometimes get too caught up in capturing it.
I love my biking co-pilot. We were approaching the end of our
motorbike adventure and the sun was setting. I was watching out for speed bumps and
Chels tapped me on the shoulder and pointed out this beautiful shot. We turned the bike around and I used all six of my precious shots to capture this lone tree in the ripening rice fields.

The rest of these pictures are from a recent church outing that was held by the
Gohyun Church English Ministry. The regular
church holds a service for those who speak English. It has really been a blessing in the time we have been here. We have become quite involved in the music and in other ways in which we are needed.
A few Sundays ago we met in
Geoje's Recreational Forest. We had the service here and we also had a picnic. Many of the members are from Nepal and work in the shipyards here. There are others who are English teachers like us. My frined Anton took these pictures of the event.

The first picture was to be the serious one and the second was to be the goofy one. If you look carefully, I believe that only
Chelsie and I understood the directions.

A Korean camp style meal of beef
stirfry,
ramen noodles,
gimbap, and fresh fruit was prepared with help from everyone.

We had ice breaker games, hiking, music, and a message by Pastor Lucas.

We took turns introducing new friends.



The church here has been such a blessing to us in many ways. They have helped us in practical ways,
like Korean lessons and locating a motorcycle, as well as helping us grow spiritually. We were involved in a international ministry back home. It has been a really cool
experience to be on the other side of the "international" ministry.
