Last weekend the Hanbit English service was held in the "Korean Alps", a scenic mountain range about two hours drive from Changwon.
Koreans are very serious about hiking, and for many of them Sunday is the only free day they have during the week. As the result, the narrow and often steep mountain roads were swollen with traffic. Kudos to Henry for masterfully operating his standard transmission vehicle under the circumstances. His left leg was pretty tired when we finally got out.
Not long after we began hiking, our group stopped for lunch in the forest. It was a perfect autumn day and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, which we brought from home.
After lunch Arianne gave a quick Scripture lesson before we continued on our way.
After hiking, several of us went back to Henry and Nancy's apartment. To my surprise, they had (very thoughtfully) bought me a birthday cake.
In Korea, birthday cakes come complete with candles and several party poppers. I felt like a mini ticker tape parade had been thrown in my honor.
