Michael & Seung-yeon,
Oh it has been too long sense I’ve seen you or talked with you. I may not have even spelled Seon Young’s name correctly.
I have been doing a lot of reflecting lately. I realize now that I have been carrying around a lot of baggage full of bondage for a long time. During our outreach in Brazil, there were times when I was difficult to get along with or short in temperment. I was on edge when we were working on the Ruth skit. I am sorry.
I remember not going to the last presentation our team gave while we were at Tecca’s YWAM base. It was the time Michael spoke and lots of people came to the alter. My spirit and attitude were so bad that I felt it would interfere in what God wanted to do. It was nothing you guys had done.
Or – the time I had a bad attitude at the resturant near Beit, our home Messianic base. I am so sorry. You guys are wonderful people and I missed an opportunity to learn from you guys.
It amazes me the way God still worked and I treasure those times. I wish that I had spent more time with you.
Year[s] ago, God laid Korea on my heart. I wish that I had learned more about the culture and language.
Now I have a laptop with wireless connection, and I hope to read your blogs to learn what I can.
I’ve loved what I’ve read so far- the Korean movies, your trip, etc.
Love you guys and hope to hear from you !!

Sharon,
Thanks for your heart. I don’t remember the moment you mentioned. Our time in Brazil was really special. I remember you as a kind and wonderful woman. I know that at the time you were still in transition and learning to deal with the things that had happened in your past. I love you from the deepest part of my heart. I hold nothing against you and, rather, remember our time together as a great learning experience for me and a great time of love among us all.
I hope you too will forgive me for the arrogance that I sometimes brought to the situations and for the immaturity that I had in most everything we did. It taught me a lot but leaves a lot of embarrassment in my memories.
I pray that God will help you find your calling and fulfill your heart for Korea.
Michael Howard
