Today is the day, and yesterday's happenings!

Yesterday we went on a downtown tour, and to the palaces. We went inside one of the palaces, and it was beautiful. The architecture was AMAZING! I took lots of pictures. Then we went back to the hotel, and took a nap. Madison was tired today! I can't get over how good she is being, it is blowing me away. I mean we have been walking about 4-6 hours a day, and she hasn't complained once! She hasn't even been asked to be carried. Sometimes Jamie will just pick her up if it is busy or crowded. After we took a nap, we met the other couple and Allen back at the guesthouse and had a birthday party for Madison! We ordered a cake from the local bakery. It was definitly not one of Gina's cakes! It tasted like bread with some kind of fruit in it and chocolate syrup/icing on the top, but we told her no one she knows has ever had a Korean cake for their birthday, and we will have a Gina cake after we get home.

After the party we went back to Nandaemun market, which is near city hall, so we took the subway. We noticed there was some kind of street party, and we moved on to the market. Well, on the way back, we saw thousands and thousands of people doing a candle light vigil for something, we saw a white person with a korean girl and asked what it was.......it was the protesters about the US BEEF!!! Needless to say we didn't waste any time getting back to the subway! We took some pictures of that too.

Today which is Sunday July 6th, we are going to church with the missionaries Walt and Jackie whom we met back home last Oct. They are having a dinner on the grounds afterwards and we are going to have some fellowship time with them. They said the church has grown from 70 people when they got here in late March to 110 last Sunday!

Then we are going to Iteawon market, and possibly the War Memorial, if we have time. We have to be back at the guesthouse by 4:00pm to pick up Noah and have his blessing ceremony with Senior Dr. Kim! Then he is ours forever!! What an iteresting night it will be!

Well, I probably won't write anymore, as we will be heading home tomorrow (Monday July7) at 7:00 am. Keep us in your prayers as we journey back to the US as a family of 4!!!
