We'll need to take each day step-by-step -- at a walking pace. Today we walked over to view the new apartment that had been assigned to us only to find that it had several issues that will prevent us moving in. We're making the most of my old studio apartment here in the Mission House where I lived last term. It actually is quite adequate for us.
Sandy even referred to the old apartment as my "tent" since it is just a bit bigger in space than a large family tent we borrowed and used many years ago on one of our family vacations with the kids in Colorado. Sandy has made the most of the limited cooking facilities and has already prepared a wonderful spaghetti dinner and an evening meal of pork mandoo and vegetables. I definitely won't go hungry this semester and it’s very likely that I won't be losing any weight even though I could stand to.
Tomorrow, Sandy will be treated to her first Korean shopping experience by one of the seasoned American faculty member's spouse, Danika. Her husband Eric and their four children have been here for six years. Eric (for my regular readers, you may recall how this faithful brother came to my aid by taking me to the emergency room last August when I cut my finger) has been teaching law at Handong International Law School (the graduate law school here). They're great friends who have shown us warm hospitality.
All in all, it looks like this New Year has begun well. We'll be trusting the Lord for grace each day as it progresses in these coming months.
