Michael in Daejeon

Michael currently has a Korean companion named, Elder Jung (we knew him when we were in Korea in 2001-2004) and a few weeks ago they had to travel outside of their mission, to Daejeon for Elder Jung had to have a check up for the army service he will be doing after his mission. Michael had the opportunity to go to the mission home in which we lived for three years, the mission office, the restaurant and bowling alley we spent much time at, the L-Mart grocery store we purchased all of our ice cream at (which fattened us up real nice), and TCIS (Taejon Christian International School). It was so neat looking at all of the pictures he sent reminiscing about the time we spent there together all those years ago.

Living in Korea when I was 12-15 years old, was very hard to say the least. But looking back I feel honored and richly blessed that the Lord provided me with those experiences. I would not be the same person without them. I had so many opportunities for growth and I was able to strengthen my relationships with my family as we were away from everything that was familiar. It is such a tender mercy to see Michael visiting the places we made so many great memories. The Lord truly has a plan!
