"Bokbo"!

I finally got to the weekend! Am I ever happy about that! I had no idea how I would make it, when the week started - but God saw me through. I am happy to say that it no longer looks like I have been "putting on weight", and my face has shrunk back down to its normal size. One positive outcome, however, was that Alice, one of my Kindergarten students, seemed to take a liking to my "chubby right-side-of-face" look, and even taught me the word "bok-bo!" Which means, "Kiss"! ;) She said my face was "Yae-poo-dah", which means "cute".

She said, "Bokbo!" and then when I went to get my hug (which I usually get)... smack! She kissed me on the cheek, and got a kiss on the cheek from me! So, let's just say - while I was not a fan of the "putting on weight" look, per se - I enjoyed the "bokbo"'s while they lasted (and they seem to have "dried up" since my face shrunk back down). Thanks for the continued prayers that have been offered on my behalf.

I learned something else today: when people park, sometimes they "block off" certain people, by parking directly behind them, and perpendicular to their vehicles. So, I wondered aloud as Nick, my Korean-born friend did just this, how would these people get out if they needed to. Nick explained that, because he was "blocking those people off, he followed the protocol of leaving his car in neutral, without the parking break on. That way, if someone needed to push his car out of their way with their hands, they could! Also, Nick explained, his "hand-phone" number was on the rear-view mirror, visible to the outside, so people could also phone his handphone if they needed to talk to him. Neat, eh?

Sincerely,

Daniel
