After a long flight we arrived in Seoul on Friday night. Since we were kid free, we went with the cheaper route and took the subway to our hotel. Two hours and many miles later, we arrived at our hotel, grabbed a bite to eat, and headed to bed.
We spent the day Saturday visiting a few different markets and were able to revisit an underground floral market near our hotel we use for our first trip. We were able to find a beautiful plant for Richard's foster family that we will be able to add to their gift basket. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and getting ready for Sunday.
Sunday was quite busy. It is the day before custody, so we knew we needed to stay busy so the time would go by quickly. We treked off to the southern portion of Seoul to visit 'The Baby Box Church". Chris was in charge of hauling the donations there, and he was awesome. He climbed many steep hills across several miles without complaining.
After quite a bit of searching and help from a few locals, we finally found the church.
We were able to donate around 500 diapers thanks to many family members and friends who joined us as we blessed this amazing ministry.
Next up we went to Lotte World. It's the world's largest indoor amusement park, and boy was it huge. I think that there were 7-8 different floors. We spent a whole there and still we were not able to see everything.
There was a fun outdoor part so Chris and I went on a swan ride.
Finally we hopped on the subway for the ride home. There was a girl sitting nearby with this bag. It reads 'I love Jesus with cross'. I love reading the funny translations around the city, and this one just warmed my heart.
Tomorrow is the big day. We get custody Monday morning at 10 am (Korea time, which will be Sunday night at 8pm central). Please pray that he handles this process well and for our life as a family of 5 to begin. I know God has amazing plans for Richard's life, and we are just blessed to be able to be a part of it.
