January 24, 2012

Note from Matt's mom: So it was the Lunar New Year, not the Chinese New Year.

Hey all,

I'm sorry I didn't email on monday, all the stores were closed because of the Lunar New Year. Life is good here, though, in almost all respects.

So it turns out that my email time got cut very, very short this week, so I have basically no time to write again, sorry. :D

However, I had a great Lunar New Year over here, and things are going really well right now. We found an investigator who is our age, and he already said he would be baptized if he found out this is all true! He has great real intent. I love meeting people like that. We're meeting him again tonight, and we're planning on extending a date to him for next month sometime. Please pray for him, his name is Kim Hee Guk.

I didn't get to go to the palace last week, because it turns out that Tuesday is the only day of the week that it's closed. Grr. But we will probably go in the next couple weeks. Guess what? It snowed today! We have like an inch. I think that makes 5 inches total that I've seen in Korea in 12 months. I did get a decent camera too, and I'm really glad I did. It's got nothing on the one Grandpa gave me, though.

The food of the week is called samgyeopsal, which is like really big, thick bacon that you fry right on the table and eat with lettuce and other things. It's super good, we had it this afternoon. Contrast that with the other stuff I've told you about, and this seems amazing. :D

That's about all I know. I love you all!
