A preview of life in Seoul helped prepare us for the big move we anticipated in January of 2012. Bob and I were fortunate to spend the month of November, 2011, in South Korea looking for a place to live. I spent the first week on Geoge Island off the coast of Busan with Stephanie, Ben and Emma. It was not by chance that I spent the first week at their home, while Bob had meetings in China. Stephanie and Emma had vacationed in Beijing the previous week with a friend. In an unfortunate accident, Emma was knocked about 15 feet off an exit ramp from the Great Wall of China and ended up with a broken femur. To make a long story short, after a couple of nerve racking days in China hospitals, she was finally put on an emergency medical flight back to Busan where she was fitted with a Spica cast to wear for about five weeks. We owe Terri and Craig Davis a huge "thank you" for their assistance in Beijing! They were truly a lifesaver for Stephanie. I spent my first night in Korea in a tiny university hospital room with Stephanie, Ben and Emma. It was another one of those tender mercies that put me there just in time to help my family in a time of need!
Emma will forever win the game, "Two Truths and a Lie"! Who could ever imagine . . .?
Of course, good food and get-well gifts will mend anything! (Especially Korean barbeque and ice cream.)

We will be returning soon!
That picture of Emma in the cast is so awful. What a trooper!
