Hey everybody!! Korea is going great!! I got transferred to a place called Sacheon, and it’s a super big area but not a lot of people. There are lots of rice fields, it’s pretty crazy. The cities in the countryside are still pretty big, but compared to my last area this is like no people at all. One crazy thing about the Sacheon area is that we don’t have a church meeting house, we rent out the second floor of a building and use it as our church.

The branch is about 20ish people and they are so cool, our branch president, President Lee JinMan is s nice and hilarious, he is a pro painter down here in Sacheon. Another crazy thing about our area is that it is the only area in our mission that is allowed to hitch hike, possibly in the whole world too. We hitchhike to get to the far reaches of our area because it is so far, we meet some awesome people through it though!!! The Koreans love giving free rides and stuff to us foreigners.

President Barrow is now gone :( We have a new Mission President (President Jeong) and so far he is super nice. He called me up once and was super nice!!! We will meet him this coming week at zone conference.

This week has been really interesting, lately a lot of the korean people have been asking me where I’m from and when I say america they think I’m lying, people don’t think I’m american. Apparently I don’t look like I’m an american, a lot of them actually think I’m Korean and make me speak in english to prove that I’m from america, it makes for some fun encounters. Studying the language hard is starting to pay off!! But I know that I couldn't do it without divine help!! Really grateful to be blessed to be able to learn this wonderful language and meet these beautiful people!!! We are working super hard, and are hoping to get enough members here to get us a building!! It is going to be a fun transfer!!
