Train Ride to District Conference March 2010



Here we are on a train to CHURCH!!!!

The kids were sooooooo EXCITED! The people were so nice and we had many of them hold the kids and kiss and squeeze their cheeks!!!

John had so much fun flerting with everyone and they in turn gave him lots of kisses and huggs and also played with his hair.... he didn't like that so much.LOL!!! :) He also had a lot of fun sharing his snacks with a few of the older mean that day!

Matthew as you can tell just fits right on in with the people here, goodness he smiles and his eyes seem to dissapear! A.J. just was in awe that we were on a TRAIN!!!! So Funny to watch his eyes light up when that Train pulled up for us to get on!

We spent 4 HOURS on the trains that day. 2 Hours there and 2 Hours back home. We had to switch trains twice and we were happy that we made it without losing any children along the way! It was a Korean Holiday that day as well...so it was really packed on the train that day. We were fortunate enough though to find seats because the people were so happy to see our kids!

It is custom here to give your seat to the mad-du-mas and Opa's I think that is how you spell it but I am sure it is probably wrong. You get my point though I guess. Also if someone gives you something then you are suppose to hold one arm straight out then your left hand is placed on your elbow and your reach out and say Onaceo, and bow your head.

Sooooo many different things that we are learning here! Church was really good and the kids did so good. Looking forward to some more fun on the Trains here in Korea!

HOW FUN!!! Read this post last... probably should have started here first before asking train questions. LOL I BET THE KIDS LOVE IT! My kids would be sooo excited to ride a train. Do you have to do 2 hours every week for church then or just for this conference?
