Flexing. a lot.

It is currently snowing very hard in MokPo, and I was told it only snows maybe once a year, so there are no such things as snow ploughs here.  We were going to take the bullet train to Seoul, then we were going to take the bus, but now that the roads are too slick, we will be taking a different train, but in about two hours.  We wait.  We flex.  :)  I love that there's no schedule and everything is ambiguous, but I know it's a stretching experience for many.  I have also heard that many of the Gracies have learned to be extra patient, especially not being able to understand a language and having to wait for a translator.  

We have also learned a little bit about collective discipline.  This means that children can run around free, but knowing their boundaries because any adult can discipline them, scold them if they're making too much noise, etc.  Yes, this may be called child abuse in America, but all Korean adults acknowledge the fact that each individual is responsible for the collective whole.  I also saw a very different and physical form of discipline as some of the assistant teachers were not afraid to spank the children.  Sounds mean, but it is acceptable here, so I had to accept it.  

Specific prayer requests:  Carlos and many of the team members and family members are a bit under the weather, so please pray that God would continuously give us strength, good health, and patience.  Two more days!  I can't believe it!
