Even though I've been here three weeks, last week is still considered week 2 because it was the 2nd full week here. A lot went on and I'll try to give some brief details. So our special meals probably weren't a big deal for most people. The first meal was Middle Eastern which consisted of diced tomatoes, onions, and peppers, meatballs, and bread. Oh, and no silverware. If I liked tomatoes, onions, or peppers it probably wouldn't have been so bad! Ha. I just "tried" it. Had I needed to eat the whole meal I probably could have. The second meal was Hungarian. It was goulash (red sauce, pasta, and meat) with red cabbage and bread. I didn't eat the whole bowl of this, but it would not have been a problem to eat. We did get to use forks, though! Our last special meal is Thursday.
Shots went well on Friday. I only had three: rabies, polio, and Hep A. Our nurses are really great. Next to the military, the IMB gives the most shots per year along the East coast! They've got it down. There was a nurse on each side sticking me at the exact same time!
Sunday night was Korean worship. We have several Korean families here, so it was really authentic. The room was divided into men and women, and then we sat on the floor in rows. We sang Jesus Loves Me in Korean and in English along with some other songs. During the service we prayed in their manner. We all called out, "Lord! Lord! Lord!" then all prayed out loud. While we were praying it occured to me how chaotic it sounded to us but how it must have been like music to God. It was one of the most amazing prayer times I've ever experienced. And I don't know if this is all over the news now, we don't have television here, but we were all praying for the same thing...for South Koreans who had been taken captive in Afghanistan in July. And I just found out yesterday that these captives are being released! God never ceases to amaze me and to remind me of is faithfulness!
This week has already flown by. I'm not counting, but it was brought me my attention that we only have 35 days left here! The first week went by slowly, but time is speeding up!
