Korean Bible excitement

Today, Samuel, one of my first graders, brought a Korean/English NIV Bible to class. He said, "Mr. Schimpff, now I can understand more."

It was really cool. I showed him our memorization verse of the week, where it was at least, and he read it in Korean. So he now gets to memorize it in Korean and can tell it to our older high school Korean students. I was pumped because Samuel had a new dimension of excitement to him for reading the Bible.

Samuel made very clear a good point I had realized with Spanish. Scriptural understanding is much more clear and meaningful in one's native language.
