It's so PUNNY!
So besides finding awesomely punny pictures on the interwebs, what has Amy been up to?! Right now we are in an intense, curriculum-writing-mode for the big camp at the end of the summer. Next week we are helping teach preschoolers. The week after that we begin traveling to different churches to help lead 3 day English camps.
We went to an American buffet restaurant. There were license plates everywhere. This was where I told the missionaries about the truck that I drive. They didn't believe I drive a big, black truck. And out of all of the license plates covering all the walls, only ONE was a Washington plate! Shame, shame.
We went to a big grocery store, almost like a Walmart. I found this movie! (My favorite Disney princess!) It's in FIVE different languages and was pretty inexpensive. Tiffany and Krista and I totally had a Disney princess movie night in our room. There were snacks.
On Tuesday, the Awana office had a huge meeting, so they sent the Americans to Everland for the day, which is pretty much the Disneyland of South Korea. I took a lot of pictures, but they're mostly animals.
Yes, I saw a black swan.
This. Is. A. Liger. And yes, we all quoted Napoleon Dynamite at this point.
I love birds. I want to own a parrot some day.
This is a larakeet. On my hand. How cool is that?!
Finally, a picture with all of the interns! We were at the back of the bus for the safari ride.

We found a lot of animal ears and headbands!
(In Korea, V stands for Victory and is the typical gesture when taking pictures)
Just smile and wave, boys; smile and wave.
It rained towards dinner time. As you can see, we weren't uber prepared.

Yesterday (Wednesday), after a long day of brainstorming and curriculum development, the missionaries wanted to treat us to a professional Korean soccer game!
They had 4 mascot bluewings. Only two actually had wings.
The home team won, 5-4.
From what I hear, we get t-shirts for the camps we help out with. I'm really excited to add to my t-shirt collection :)
So these are the touristy things I have been up to. We ARE hard at work in the office! Today we pretty much came up with the entire camp curriculum. Now it's down to filing down details and writing up a leader manual for the American high schoolers who will be flying in for a couple weeks to help teach. We could use prayer for "EVERYTHING!"-Scott, "flying monkeys- as in protection from"-Scott, "flying monkeys, ownership of"-Katherine. But seriously, for focus, patience, wisdom in designing the lesson plans and execution thereof.
When I have time away from distractions, I do plan on writing a more serious post beyond the American-tourist side of this trip. I'll make sure Scott ISN'T reading over my shoulder as I type out that one ;).
Thank you for all of your prayers and support! This blog has gotten over 250 pageviews already (and I'm pretty sure only 200 of those are from my parents!) and I'm excited to see where the rest of this summer takes me.
Romans 3:21-24, "But now a righteousness from God, apart from the law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
