We had another good week. Nothing really eventful happened. I've decided I need to take a notebook to work so I can write down the funny things my kids do and say so I have some cute stories.
We were able to go to the doctor in Uijeongbu. Cameron needed to get a refill on his meds. Our boss told us about a good hospital with a foreigner service. He gave us directions so we headed there Thursday morning. It went well. It was quite easy. We had to wait, but it wasn't too bad. It is really great that they have the foreigner service. Mostly people from the military bases here use it, but I'm sure a lot of teachers use it, too.
They have you wait in a special waiting area in their office. Then when your time comes they take you to the appropriate place. It is huge!
It was really a blessing to find a place close by. It only took about 20-25 min to get there. I will be able to go there too, for my thyroid problem.
We had a nice surprise of a little snow that afternoon. It didn't stick, but it was pretty. That day was a day of Christmas reminders for me. One of my students gave me a little candy cane. I'm not sure if she knew that it was Christmas candy, but it was special to me. Then in one of my lessons "stocking" was a word and there was picture of a Christmas stocking. So that night I got motivated and put up one of our 2 little trees. The last couple left one and ours came up from Naju.
We had a nice weekend. Yesterday we had a good day of cleaning up and a little bit of relaxing. I also put up our other tree. So we have one in the office and one in the living room. It is nice. I really need to get a nativity scene. Maybe I can order a little one from Ten Thousand Villages. I want to find one that isn't really fragile.
Today we went to church. After 2 weeks without I was ready! We visited another church in Uijeongbu and I think this will be our home away from home. It was really nice and they were very welcoming. We even had an invite to lunch at a person's home in a couple weeks.
It will be a bit different than our last church because it is a foreigner run church. There are 2 Christian Schools here in the area and a few military bases so this church will be more like what we are used to back home. The great thing is there are still many Koreans that attend there so we will still have that intercultural mix. I think it will be a great place to attend!
We still haven't gotten our hike in. We were hoping to go this weekend, but yesterday it was gloomy and still a bit too cold. It was nicer today, but we were pooped after going to church and then running to Emart. We hadn't had such a busy weekend in a while. Maybe next weekend.
Pray for Cameron. He has been waking up with headaches a lot. We think it might be sinus related. We decided today to go get a new humidifier. We had one from last year, but misplaced a piece to it in our transition so it doesn't work. We are hoping that this new one will be the solution.
