God is GOOD!!!!!

Hey guys, this is Kelsey. It's already been two days and I have no idea where to begin because so much has happened so far. We all got here safe and sound with no problems whatsoever! Yay! And I just have to say that Seoul is one amazing, awesome, fantabulous city. Especially at night. This city truly comes alive with bright lights all over, music blasting, and people everywhere. Yesterday I rode the subway for the first time ever and it was quite the experience. It can get so jam packed. And just a fun little fact for all those girls out there reading this......shoes are everywhere! Hehe. Every other store is a shoe store. So awesome. :)

All righty. So, yesterday was our homestay which means we were each paired with a North Korean defector and then spent the night at their house and spent the day with them. Such an experience talking with them and hearing their testimonies. My partner works at a Radio Stations where they broadcast truth into North Korea. While there I heard 3 more testimonies and this is the biggest lesson God has taught me so far. I am such a selfish person. Every single one of these people have been through so much more then I have and they cling to their faith like no one I've ever met. I go through some trial that is significantly smaller than theirs and I want to start blaming God right off the bat. These people have lost loved ones, seen so much darkness, and struggle with wondering if they'll ever see family members again. I am so humbled by my brothers and sisters and I pray that God will forgive me and grow within me a heart of thankfulness and contentment. Sorry for the long post! :)
