The gate that leads into the church. Yep, it feels like a castle! |
Yeah, it's really hot here... Really hot. But after a while, you
get used to being wet 24/7. Seriously, you're always wet. You weren't
lying Dad, it's like you showered with your clothes on. Then when it
rains it's still hot, and you get even wetter. But it's awesome, I love
it here. Things are doing well, we've met with a few investigators, some
progressing, some not. We picked up a few investigators that
are....about 10 years old. It's a lot different teaching kids. But it's
so fun. We sat in on Primary and did activities with them and taught
about a principle or two. They seem to really like it!
Our apartment is on the church property, surrounded by a fence and the "castle" gate |
Elder Gardner is great, and so is the ward. Yesterday we had 120
people at church! It was crazy. We also went to "America" the other
day....Our ward mission leader is American, married Korean, but still
misses America sometimes. So he took us on the army base for taco bell.
It was weird. It's like America inside Korea. The base is HUGE, and it
even feels like America. The buildings are low and spread out,
park strips, white people, black people, all speaking English. You can
understand EVERYTHING! It's wonderful. But a very strange feeling. Taco
bell was nice, but I got a little sick afterwards... I'm too used to
Korean food.
Our next door neighbor: the church building! |
We watched the missionary broadcast yesterday after church, and it
was really good. We're still not sure when we can use Facebook or
if/when we'll get things like iPads, but all in good time. It might be
towards the end of my mission, but it'll be nice.
There's not too much to report this week, we've been crazy busy
with talking to everyone on the street, and meeting people. We met a
Korean who lived in the Philippines for 4 years, but roomed with Brits
so he speaks with a really thick British accent. It's hilarious. He also
is practicing his Japanese accent so he can fool people into thinking
he's Japanese. He's a really funny guy. He's also really curious about
the church, there's a bunch of falsities online and spread by word of
mouth, and we cleared some things up with him. He was surprised at
how...normal... we were. We're actually cool, not a cult or people with
horns and stuff. Seoul is great :)
That's about all. The area is nice, it's hot, the house is even
hotter than outside, so we have fans going all night, but it's
definitely worth it.
Love you all!!!!
I guess we shouldn't complain about the heat! It sounds like he is doing great. Thanks for sharing these. Jen Hulme
