Dance!
Some of the 6th – 10th grade kids from the children’s home performed at a large gathering of different homes and community centers from around Seoul. They performed two short dances and then a “worship dance” to a Christian song. Dancing and pop music are wildly popular in Korea and nearly all the other homes/centers also did dances or songs or both. The other presentations weren’t as tasteful… in one a boy ripped off his shirt while performing… kid was mad skinny too^^… and in others the girls, junior high and high school, weren’t wearing much as they danced a bit suggestively to the pop songs… ugh.
Here is my kids’ dance…
I’m proud of my kids. I was using my cheap Canon Powershot camera (nearly 6 years old) to video the kids and the lighting was a bit funky so you can’t see them that well. My kids were smiling as they performed and really gave a great effort.Funny, during the first dance different girls from other children homes were yelling out, “멋있다!” or, “So cool!” to the boys… and then when the boys began to exit one of the girls in the audience cried out, “어디 가???” or, “Where are you going???”
God bless!

All I could see is Yong Shin in the middle!! He did so well!! He told me that I would see him in Dec…maybe he was thinking about this performance day. When you see him, JM, tell him that he did an awesome job!!
Bubs, it’s so neat to think that when you arrived these kids were in 1st-5th grades. I’m so blessed to know they’re smiling, enjoying their dance and performing in a way that pleases our Lord. What a testimony to GEON, your love and praise, and what God is doing there in the lives of the kids! Hugs, Katie
