Hey all,
So, there are transfer calls tonight, which means the next six weeks of my life could be radically different than the last six were...or maybe they'll be exactly the same. Nobody knows for sure till 9:30 p.m. Seoul time, which is the fun of getting transfer calls. You get your fun and excitement where you can get it on a mission. :D
This week was pretty good. The war museum was actually closed on Mondays, so we couldn't go inside, but there were some really cool airplanes and tanks outside that we got pictures of. I got this way cool one of me on a self-propelled Howitzer, it's a great picture. :D We'll have to go some other time to see the inside exhibits, I hear they're amazing. I'm at the place where you have to switch every 10 minutes again, so this will be short and I don't have time to put the pictures out today. Maybe next week.
Today for P-day almost everyone of my MTC group got together at the Olympic Park they used in the 80's and ate lunch at this way nice buffet. It was so fun! It was great to see my missionary friends again, I forgot how funny they all are. It was a party out there for sure. :D We got some good pictures together. I actually wrote letters, too, which doesn't happen often for me. P-days are just really busy.
Other stuff for this week...not much, actually. It was a pretty normal week for a missionary. Oh, it was super cold last night! I forgot how cold it gets here in the winter. I'm so glad I'm not a sister missionary, they must freeze, since they have to wear skirts. Suits are so nice, you can bundle up as much as you want under your suit and it still looks fine. :D
Thanksgiving is this week! The English branch here volunteered to have all the American missionaries over to a ward member's house for a meal on Thursday, which I think is really cool. Hopefully I don't get transferred out. I'm kind of torn; I kind of want to go, but I kind of want to stay, too. We'll see what happens, and as always I will follow the Lord and my mission president.
You know you're in Korea when...
- The Church members always give you food, every single time you visit their house.
- Every single person has dark brown or black hair. Think about that for a minute.
- A lot of cars have little foam things on the ends of their doors so they can push them against other cars. In a city with 25 million people, having to do that is pretty normal.
- Hot dogs come individually wrapped.
- Usually when you go out to eat, one person will pay the bill for the whole group, and then it's expected that next time someone else will do it.
- The post office workers close early on weekdays and aren't open on weekends...oh wait, it's like that in America too. Why don't they work more hours?!
Ok, I'm out of time. But I love missionary work, no matter how hard it is sometimes, and I know this work is the work of God. Thank you all for being such a good influence on me, and I hope you have a good week!
