Kimbab and fried chicken

Hello everyone!

This week was great, it started off with Korean Memorial Day, everyone in our apartment put flags on their windows to show respect~

And since Tuesday was my last day in Anseong, the Branch President, his wife, and a member of the stake presidency came down and we had a meal consisting of kimbab and fried chicken, a lot of fried chicken(for anyone who has eaten 네네치킨, this was 6마리 for 8 people plus a large serving of 김밥)

Then on Wednesday Morning, I packed my bags and headed to my new area, Gimpo~ This place is pretty great. We live on the top (18th) floor of our apartment, and there's an airport nearby so we get a plane flying right above us every few minutes

My new companion is Elder Luce, he's from Ohio and he likes music and he's super cool. He has been in Korea for 3 months and works super hard, I think we're going to get along well~

There are now 4 missionaries in our house, and I was asked to serve as District Leader for the 6 missionaries in Gimpo and the 4 missionaries in Cheongna, the area right below us. All the district members are really amazing, so I think the next 6 weeks will be great~

The ward here is also really great, there's about 50 people that attend weekly, which isn't a ton but it's a whole lot more than Anseong so I really enjoyed meeting all of the church members here. And we have enough people to do all 3 hours of church :)

We don't currently have anyone to teach, so we're spending a lot of time getting to know the area, talking to lots of people, and getting to know the members.

I'm really excited to be serving here for most likely the remainder of my time in Korea (I only have 4 months left now ㅜㅜ), I'll let you know how things are going next week!

Love,

Elder Bigelow
