Pictures… I am blessed
I turned 25 last Sunday. I hadn’t really told anyone it was my birthday because I stink at remembering other peoples’ birthdays and I get a little embarrassed over this stuff for some weird reason, but a few people somehow knew it was my b-day and I ended up getting really blessed. Thank you everybody!
Miriam and Tina with me wearing the sweater they got me (thanks to Jeena too!)
Dinner with church people… we had some pho
Jane praying before our meal… I’m blessed by great Christian brothers and sisters
Solomon and I… he was visiting Korea and spent some time with me
Soo Jin and Eun Ji… I got back a little late Sunday night, but they still came to my apartment. They and one other girl knew it was my birthday so they bought me some cake and figurines (the skinny white guy figurine is supposed to be me)… the other girl is a little older and didn’t want to be in the picture because she doesn’t want the other kids to know she got me all this
Hae Ji and the little windmill she got me (Korean style photo)
Chae Ho, In Chul, and Chae Hyun then found out I had my birthday so they got me a cake too
Me with the three boys (In Chul, older boy with icing on his face, is Hae Ji’s older brother)
Min Je and the gifts he got me
Il Ho found out my birthday had passed and so he came by and asked me what I wanted. Knowing these kids only have a couple dollars, I said, “Something tasty.” 20 minutes later he came back with some chicken from a vendor
I am really blessed by these kids… there were a few others that I didn’t get pictures with… these little gifts mean a lot to me because these kids spent the little that they had on me. God help me love them good!

Hey JM,
This is jeanhee… I’m sure you don’t remember me but I heard you speak when you came to VTech last semester (fall 2006). I love coming to your site… I’m so inspired in so many ways. Thanks. What you’re doing for those kids are so amazing. I hope that you’ll continually be the salt of this world.
