The Route [1st Hints]

The Route [1st Hints]
By Jonathan Bunford on 11/10/2009

Hi everyone!

If you haven't noticed yet, our July 2010 team has become HUGE! You can see the full list of participants http://bit.ly/2alSKh

About a week ago an administrator from AIM released some hints as to where we'll be traveling to during our 11 month mission trip as well as some of the issues we will be facing. Some of the hints have been successfully solved, while others are still a mystery and we need your help to figure out what they mean!

 

Areas:

Caribbean (SOLVED: Dominican Republic)

Eastern Europe - Think "Back in the U.S.S.R." (This has nothing to do with the Beatles song; although, it is excellent, if you've never heard it.)

Eurasia (SOLVED: Turkey)

Africa - Think David Livingstone.

East Asia - Think Pol Pot and company.

 

Issues/Causes:

AIDS/Orphans

Sex trafficking

Teaching English

Gypsy Outreach

Our first Support Raising!

Our first Support Raising!
By Cinthia Ramirez Bunford on 10/22/2009

 

      Our first support-raising event is finished! We did the Hi Seoul run a couple of weeks ago. We both ran through Seoul, which brought "sight-seeing" to a different level. I loved running through a virtually lonely Seoul.

      Jonathan ran a half marathon- his second! I am so proud of him ☺ I ran a 10k - my first!

      We were both thrilled with all the support we got for this run. We can't thank all our supporters enough.

     That brings our support to: 1,634.00 out of the $26,000! Still a small amount but we're slowly getting there!

      Prayfully consider supporting us for this amazing opportunity to serve God

around the world.

9 Day Vacation!

Cinthia and I recently took a few days off work, and to summarize, we made the most of our vacation! We easily knocked a few activities off our list:

Day 1-2

6 of us took the train over to Gangchon (in Gangwon Province) and stayed at a very beautiful pension (click image for website):

The owners also ran a nearby dock, so we were able to go tubing, wake-boarding (my first time), barbecue some delicious meat, and take some wicked pictures:

Day 3-5

After returning home, we quickly re-packed and took the bus to Gyeongju (South East part of Korea). It is famous for being the capital during the Silla Dynasty (57BC - 935AD). Our first night there we were taken (for free) to a fancy restaurant where we were recorded by a tv crew eating and commenting on the food. It was obviously awkward, but a great experience! The rest of our trip was spent going between various historical sites on a scooter that we were able to rent.

Day 6 - Relaxed, cleaned up to prepare for…

Day 7-9

Thursday night Alex came up from Busan (for those that don't know Alex was my best-man at the wedding, and he's been teaching in Korea as well). We hung out a lot and tried to see as much of Seoul as we could. Some areas were incredibly busy but that was because this weekend was Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving).

And that was our vacation! To see more pictures check out Cinthia's Photo Gallery at : http://picasaweb.google.com/ramirez.cinthia
