One Word.....BEAUTIFUL!

On Monday night three teachers that I work with, including myself, stayed at the math teacher's house.  At first I will admit that I was a little apprehensive, mainly becuase she lives in the mountains.  For those of you who really know me, you know that Sarah don't do no mountains!  This is the same math teacher who invited me to live in her spare house (in Seoseok...where my school is) so that I wouldn't have to catch the bus to work; I would be able to ride with her.  So, I would live with her during the week and go back to my apartment (in Hongcheon) on the weekends. 

On the way up to her house, I was in TOTAL awe!  All I could think about was the book of Genesis when God was creating everything....."and it was good" (SO GOOD).  That night, after we had a delicious meal (her and her husband know that I don't eat pork so they ordered chicken for me...), and we all got ready to go to bed, I thought about where I was.  The word beautiful does the place NO justice (and of course, I forgot my camera....grrrr!).  One would have to go and experience it for themselves to get the full feeling of what I am trying to describe here.  I guess I was so amazed because to know that God could and did create such beautiful things is so mind-blowing to me!  The house, oh the house(!), was so meticulously put together (by her husband and his "crew"), it looked like something out of a magazine.  It was made of clay and pine wood, but looking at it, you would never guess that. 

After a friendly game of badmitton (with her husband, I think he beat me!), I thought about asking the math teacher if I could maybe come once a month just to "get away" from the hustle and bustle of Hongcheon and Seoul.  I will keep you posted.....

Until next time...
