Monday~
Was like the coolest pday of my mission! There was a mission-wide
pday activity where we rented out a big sports complex for 2
hours, and we played soccer, basketball, foot volleyball, and kickball. It
was so fun! We split everyone into teams and formed big rally crowds and
everything. There were literally people all over the field coming
to watch us. Koreans, I think, were amazed at a bunch of crazy foreigners
playing kickball and chanting! We also had a 3K and you might not be surprised that I
sluffed out and got an ice cream.
Tuesday~
Was my last day in Songpa and so I visited some people and took my
luggage to my new house. It was also the anniversary of the North
Korean Military establishment, so it was a pretty intense day for South
Koreans! There were jets flying all over the place. I am sure it was just
us (South Korea) letting them (North Korea) know that we were prepared, but it was kind of intense
walking around on the streets that day.

Wednesday~
This was the craziest morning of my mission for sure! New missionaries usually arrive at about 5 pm on Tuesday afternoon, but because of all the noise coming from the North, their flight got
delayed for 12 hours which, if you do the math, means the early hours
of Wednesday we were at the airport! We woke up at 2:45 and to help ourselves wake up a little more we went and played ping
pong. At 4:00 am, we left for the airport. It was definitely the longest
day of my mission. But it was also a lot of fun because we got some good work done. I got my two new companions: Elder Kim who is waiting for
his visa to go to California on his mission, and Elder Goon who is in
his 4th transfer. I am loving life with them!
Thursday~
I forgot.. Street contacting for sure. We don't really have any
investigators in this new area. We did visit some recent converts and had our
first District Meeting.
Friday and Saturday~ Proselyting (my fav).
Sunday~ First Sunday
in Bundang, and I killed the opening talk (haha). Elder Kim and I did a
combined joke that the ward thought was really funny (it was about accents--he has a Busan accent and I have an American accent--maybe only funny if you are Korean). However, it instantly got us several meal
invites! We also bounced back to Songpa and
went to a baptism of a kid that I had been teaching there with Elder
Lee. Super fun baptism and he looked soo happy! It really was a great fresh start for a
kid who has had a hard past.
This week was soo amazing. I love this work!!! I hope you all are loving life! See ya!
