Anyway, I would like to give an update on things in my life. I guess I will start with the musical. We started back in December and have been working hard ever since. A month in, we changed the script. It was a good script and the director was good. About 3 months in, the director was let go. Thus, a new script had to be made. The old director wrote the previous script so when she left, the old script left also. Sometime in April we were given our new script. This one is just as good. It's very different than the last one. However, we were given this script about a month before we were suppose to perform. The date never changed.
There has been a lot of stress on everyone's part. Some disputes, tempers flared, and hugs given. We really are like one big family... Korean/Foreigner family. I like it. I think we have all learned a lot through this experience. God has been stretching a lot of us. I know in some ways, I have become much stronger, but have also discovered weaknesses. I'm learning when to keep my mouth shut and when I should speak. I'm also learning a lot about friendships. People I never thought I would be friends with have literally become best friends.
So, we will perform this coming Sunday, May 16th. I'm excited and extremely nervous. I know it won't be perfect, but we are putting our all in it. I guess that is what is important.
This past weekend we went on a trip to 산청( Sancheong.) My experience there was quite... well... something. For the very first time I tried acupuncture. I'm not sure what happened, but my body became extremely week and I actually almost past out. (I have photos of the needles in me. I show those later.) After I was able to get up, I felt very sick. My body began to ache and felt drained. It was as if all my energy was pulled from my body. The next day we went to a place where they believe Korea's chi is the strongest. We touched this rock that was suppose to give us energy from the earth. Then, I noticed afterwards, my body was gradually getting better. By the time we got home, there was no pain in my body and I had quite a bit of energy. It was quite an amazing experience.
Now, I'm home and am ready for the week. We still have a lot of work to be fully prepared for this Sunday. Pray for us this week as I'm sure it will be quite trying on all of us.
