So I'm in Korea. It is going great. Love you, bye............................................... Hahahaha jk!! I actually am in Korea, and it is going super great!!! There are a lottttt of Koreans here in Korea by the way, Like almost everyone here is Korean, except some of the missionaries!! Hahaha It is a big change form home seeing about the whole town of sugar city in about 20 minutes of proselyting out here... haha My trainer is an elder from Salt lake area named Elder Cronin, He is super funny and we get along great! My first area is a relatively small city, which in reality is not even small, but for Korea it sorta is, and it is called 방어진 (Bongojiin) It is a peninsula and is right next to Ulsan. We are surrounded by 현데(Hyundai, and ps dad, apparently the article you read, I guess the owner says it wrong or something? sounds more like hee un day) shipyards and they have some massive cranes to load the cars onto the ships. The funny thing about living here is that when work gets off all the workers from the shipyards come out all on scooters, and there is about like 5 thousand scooters zipping down the main road haha. The food, oh the food... Haha it is definitely interesting!! So far I have eaten everything that has been place in front of me, including raw onions (they wrecked my breath, plus you know how I am about onions too...), the soup that they bring out boiling hot and you have to eat it boiling hot so my tongue has been destroyed lately, the food here gets pretty spicy, I had cereal like coco puffs, only it was thousands times better here, theres been ground up fish in a little stirp that they put in soup, kimche, kimche stew, some insanely good meats, and rice, and the rice here is sooooo good, the rice in America is gross compared to it!! I will send pcs of the foods as well! The members in 방어진 have already fed me twice, and the same sister wants to feed me again tomorrow, bless her heart. I love Koreans!!! Our branch is super funny, yesterday a recent convert Kim Jong Ho, who is a really rough type of guy, sat next to me and tried to make me sleep during church haha, and he kept calling me the boss of all the missionaries and said that I was a founder of teh church... He is really interesting haha. Tonight we meet one of our investigators 최정수 Chway Jong Soo, And I am way excitied, he is going to highschool so normally he doesnt have any time because the schools here go from 8 AM to 11PM (And I thought school was bad..) But today he gets off at 5 because of some massive test coming up. He is learning english so he likes to call us and talk in cute little broken english and since me and him are the same age, in Korea we automatically became friends!! Awesome! Korea is so fun!! I love it here!! You will probably have to come drag me out of Korea when I have to go home!!! Love ya!
