Korea

SOONAN.—Time has passed very quickly since I came here. I enjoy the language study more from month to month. From two to three hours I study with a teacher each day, and two to three hours by myself. With the exception of Brother and Sister Smith, I have not been associated with any one speaking English. So there is good opportunity to practise talking in Korean. Almost every day I do some visiting among the people. The better I learn to understand them, the more I like them.
We have started a little prayer-meeting among the sisters here, which is getting to be more interesting each week. The attendance is also increasing.
Before leaving America I read a number of books on Korea and its people. From these I received a much more unfavorable impression of conditions in this country than I have in reality found to exist here.
My courage is good, and I am thankful to be in this field. I know the Lord is with us, to give the necessary strength.
