This week was a very different week.
On wednesday we took a 2 hour bus ride to get to our zone leaders
area to have zone training meeting. I met Elder Jang, the korean that
lived in my greenie house again. He is so much fun to be around. Also
alot of people I havent seen in months. Then we took the bus back again
and visited an active investigator. He comes to church but doesnt want
to take the lessons. We talked with us for a long time. He does Chinese
and Korean caligraphy and makes fans, so he gave us a fan and wrote a
scripture on it for us. For me he wrote part of Heleman 5.12. It is
super cool, picture attatched. Then on Friday we started our trek to
back to the big city of Seoul. The way was completly blocked with
traffic so I spent 3 hours on the bus there when it normaly takes 1 1/2
hours. We had a temple session scheduled at 7:20 and because of the
traffic we got there just in time to drop our stuff off and get changed.
I was straving throughout the entire temple session. I was sitting next
to Elder Schofield who I served with in my last area and he kept
looking at me and smiling because my stomach was making beached whale
noises. After the session we went to go get ramen from the temple
vending machines but they were all out so we got permission to go run to
a gas station and buy some food.
We slept at the temple that night because the next day after eating
a hardy breakfast of McDonalds we crossed the Han river into the South
Mission. We had an amazing conference Elder Whiting and Elder Evans from
the 70 and Missionary Director spoke to us. The gave us alot of good
advice, told us some stuff that I am literally sworn to secrecy about
and definetly brought the spirit to us. After the conference was over I
found Tim Light and talked with him for a while. I sent you a pic or
two. He is an amazing missionary and I only talked to him for about 10
minutes.
Then after we all left everyone went to the bus station in Gangnam.
Thats right Gangnam style place. Where Psy and all the rich people
live. Elder Smith and I bought some Kimbap and Kimchi which was the best
we both had eaten in our entire missions. and it was from a bus
station. Then we had the 4 hour bus ride back to our zone leader
area. By the way before i forget one of my Zone Leaders played at Weber
State with Damian Lillard the NBA Rookie of the Year. We took a break in
the middle of the trip because it was so long. I talked to Elder Smith
the whole time. It was super fun.
We then had stake conference the saturday session. This same
basketball playing zone leader gave an amazing talk in korean. Then we
traved to another Area to sleep over called, Donghae. The two Elders
There are hillarious. There were not enough Yos so me and Elder Smith
and Elder McFarland shared two. During the night Elder Smith stole my
sheet. Then he woke up realized he stole it and tried to put it back on
me. I also realize that I now speak Korean mixed with English in my
sleep. Super weird. Then we traveled back to the Zone leader Area on a
bus that drove along the Ocean, I didnt have my camera, but i will see
it again.
I have literaly seen almost all the different parts of Korean this
week, the city, mountains, rich people place, ocean I just havent been
to jayjoo island.
Then we had the sunday session which was a broadcast specificly for
Korea, where Elder Cook and Elder Hales spoke. It was dubbed with
Korean so I have no clue what they said but it was still super
spiritual. The we traveled back to our area and all I have done is talk
to people on the street also I got the first experience with knocking on
doors. Its fun.
Well Love ya Bye
Elder Diede
