Today YH Lee and I went to the Anglican Church of Korea located near the City Hall. The church building were covered with scaffolds for repairing the roof of the church. While sketching at the church yard we met the professor Kim Jai Hwa who asked us to have lunch at the church dining room. After having lunch YH Lee sketched her on the spot and presented it to her. She was so satisfied and invited us to visit garden inside the Society of the Holy Cross.  And we could have tea meeting the famous sister Oh In Sook Catarina, the first ordained priest in Korea as a nun. She was so kind to guide us to the pretty church on the upper floor. After sketching one more at the church we visited the gallery located at Insadong where the professor's caligraphy works were exhibited with other professors of Sungkonghoe University including Shin Young Bok. We had a very meaningful day!

어제 많이 후덥지근했어요. 그래도 성당 마당의 큰나무 그늘아래서 비계투성이 성당을 그려보는 재미난 작업했어요. 훌륭한 분들도 만나 뵙구요. 좋은 하루였어요.
