It's still hot over here, but Korea has quite the selection of interesting drinks to beat the heat including:
-Watermelon Soda (Imagine the flavor of a watermelon popsicle but carbonated
-Pocari Sweat- I have no idea where the name from and I hope it's not actually someone's sweat, but it's good for replenishing electrolytes
-Aloe Juice- Normally Aloe is used as a medicine for burn relief, but here it is a tasty drink, complete with bits of the Aloe plant inside (my favorite)
-매실 (mae-sheer)- I'm not exactly sure what it's made out of, but it's super sweet like apple juice and super refreshing
Last Monday I headed to Mokdong in Seoul to update my foreigner registration card, only to find out that it didn't actually need to be updated yet, so I'll have to make another trip up there at some point. The silver lining though was that I got to meet with two people that I taught when I first came to Korea, one of whom has been baptized since then. Good times
This weekend was also transfer calls, where we find out if we will leave to another area or stay for 6 more weeks (sounds a little bit like groundhog day now that I think about it). Anyways, I will stay here in Suwon for the next 6 weeks with Elder Christensen, then he will go home and I will get a new companion. I'm really glad I'm staying here though, my work here isn't finished yet :)
This week I've been especially grateful for the knowledge that members of this church have about God's plan for us, and that the questions like "Where did I come from?" "what is my purpose in life?" and "what's after this life?" are not a mystery. We were teaching someone this week about Jesus Christ, and he asked suddenly, "Is there really a Heaven? What is it like?" I'm thankful that I could respond with confidence "Yes, there is. And Heaven is living with our families forever." and I especially love sharing that knowledge with those in Korea.
Have a great week!
-Elder Bigelow
