On August 22, 2022 I arrived in South Korea with the purpose of studying the language and receiving training and to the Glory to God it has been 2 years and one month of my stay in Korea where I not only received training, but I had the opportunity to be a member of a beautiful family of 19 nationalities where I learned the kindness, service, love of each culture.
On September 27th was my flight from South Korea to France, so I had to make all the preparations for the trip including getting everything in order, such as the house where I was renting, organizing the luggage, among other things.
The last week in Korea was great as I was invited to the DMZ Paju. DMZ: The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a strip of land that runs through the heart of the Korean peninsula along the 38th parallel line. It is one of the most heavily fortified zones in the world and separates North Korea from South Korea.
We visited the third tunnel which was discovered in 1978, just 52 km from Seoul. Located in the city of Paju, this tunnel is 1,635 m long and has a height and width of 3 m, which is enough for thirty thousand armed North Korean soldiers to pass through it in one hour.
This tunnel is so far the largest tunnel discovered in South Korea, demonstrating North Korea's firm intention to invade South Korea in the past.
It was an amazing experience to enter and get to the end of the tunnel where we could see the other side, NK.
You can not enter the tunnel with cameras, cell phones or bags etc. so I could not take pictures.
I found a 1-minute video on YouTube, so you can see what the tunnel looks like (click on tunnel).
Thank God for this precious parting gift He gave me of visiting the DMZ and being able to look from afar at the promised land. I am hopeful that I will be able to enter soon.
I have been meditating on this Bible verse in Isaiah. I am sure that new things are coming.
It is time for goodbyes, although it is sad on one hand but happy on the other because new things are coming. In total there were 4 farewells that made me very emotional and full of love.
Activities I will be doing during my time in France
1) Attend via zoom to the theoretical training of Pioneers International Mexico (PIMEX) this training is called Pro-Community Orientation. There are several sections where I must read and do activities in order to give contributions.
2) Attend via zoom to the biblical seminar.
3) Continue to lead the NK Prayer group (For the last 3 years Alexas and I have been leading a prayer group for NK, via zoom. We have the assistance of several people from Latin America).
4) Study Korean.
5) To share with my family and to be a testimony.
THANK YOU LORD!
Thankful to God that I am already in France, God kept my entry and exit.

How to keep remembering me in prayer?
