Pope Died Today


The Chapel was full for Catholic Mass today.


A picture I took at work today. A lot of people were in attendance because of the death of the Pope.


There were even some people crying at the service. It was a very big event for the Catholics.


It's 7:06 AM right now I think. I can't tell because today is daylight savings time, but I'm not sure if Korea changes their clocks ahead or not. Nobody is here yet though, so I guess it's still 7. This is my last weekend working at the church before I go on vacation. Only 2 more days of work after this before I catch a plane back to the states. I'm really looking forward to it. It will be nice to see my family again. I miss not being able to see them whenever I want. Sometimes I'm a bit envious of my brother. It's so easy fro him to visit his grandparents, parents, cousins, and family whenever he wants. I think I miss that more than anything. Family is such a big thing in my life, and I miss not having that. It will be very nice to see everyone again and say hello. It will also be nice to be able to wear shorts again and T-shirts. I bought a new pair of shorts and some pants yesterday when I went shopping with Scott and Boyd in Osan. Hightower called me there too, but I couldn't find him. I've been having to buy new clothes because all of the ones I have now don't fit me. That's the first time I've ever had to do that in my life. In the last 60 months I've lost 34 pounds. I'm now down to 169. My goal was 165, so I'm pretty close. I had a cheat night last night, so I'm probably back up to 170 now. That's OK though, I'll work off all that pizza at the gym once I get off work.

I read on the internet this morning that Pope John Paul II died today. I'm sure that there will be a lot of Catholics attending this morning's mass. Well, they are needing my help with the Protestant service right now, so I guess I better go do my job. Talk to everyone later. Toodle Loo
