Yay! I was just accepted into the Korean language program at Seoul National University!! I shouldn't be all that surprised since they don't usually turn away people... but I'm still excited to hear a definite YES from them. Now I can proceed with all my plans knowing for sure that I will be in Korea by March 1st.

Speaking of going places, I'm leaving the States and heading out to Thailand on February 13th. I'm going to visit an established ministry to prostitutes in Bangkok called Rahab Ministries for two weeks, learning from them and hopefully helping them out. I'm excited to hear everything they can tell me on the issues surrounding work with prostitutes--the good, the bad and the ugly. Maybe they can help provide concreteness to my amorphous and untested ideas.
