Church community at its best...

Here are some pics from our Church here in Ulsan... Bloom (where you are planted).  We are nothing fancy and we don't have any staff/pastors but we all gather together and stream in a sermon from the states and sing some songs together... it is amazing but the best part are the people and how we love on each other.  Here are some pics of a little party that we put together for a couple that just got married.  We wanted to make their new beginning in this new country special... so we had a party.

Here is a pic of our Bloom group...
 

 

Here is the bride and groom...who actually dated in high school and went their separate ways for many many years... and just found each other again earlier this year and got married last month.  They are so cute and have a great story.

 

 

I was in charge of the cake and the present... so here is my first wedding cake... he he he

 

 

 

And here is the gift... I sent them an email a while back and asked them to send me the names of their favorite places to go/eat/shop/etc.  And then I (with some help of friends) went around and took pics of these places/things and using these pics made them look like letters that spelled out their last name... which was really long but it turned out cute.

B- was logs of the building that is their favorite restaurant on the sea side
R - we had to throw some kimchi in the picture and this was taken on the floor of my condo where she always sits for bible study
O - a rose from the compound... to emphasize "Bloom" and all the flowers in Ulsan
U - This is a picture of the tree that is on one of their favorite walks near their house... I really did not like the way it turned out so that is why we took a pic of the gang (first picture) in the shape of a U.
S - the slide right out side where we meet for church at the compound
S - The Korean flag... that one is obvious
A - Greg works with Blake and this is a picture of the tower on their first rig here in Ulsan
R - They love to go to Ilsan beach... hence their amazing tan... and so this is the sand at the beach
D - And this is their bedroom window (turned sideways)
