FMI Retreat

Friday and Saturday, the FMI team here in Korea (Pents, Willings, Sumralls, and Voellers) took a 2 day trip to the west coast of Korea. I enjoyed being with all the families, and I was especially thrilled to get sunburned while walking around on the beach. We stayed at a picturesque pension house and packed a lot into 2 days including football, soccer, grilling, a treasure hunt, team meetings, worship time, painting nails (well, the girls), climbing on rocks, shell collecting, etc.

Our lodgings



Football in the front yard - I'm sure the Koreans enjoyed watching :)

Don't worry - if you ever get hungry walking on the beach, you can always stop for a snack of boiled silk worm larvae, conch shells, sea cucumbers (which are creatures, not vegetables), octopus, sea slugs, etc.

Some Korean ladies working...there were quite a few women out on the rocks harvesting clams. There were also women diving out in the ocean.

Not sure what Stephen was doing...
Notice the misty islands in the background


Nice skills
