I hope you all had a great week, and for those of you that watched our church's General Conference broadcast, I hope you enjoyed it!
As a clarification, I have not actually watched General Conference yet. Because of the time difference, they show it at our church one week later. So I will watch it this coming weekend, no spoilers please!
And after this week, we are allowed to wear just a white shirt without a suit for the next six months, which I think will be a relief since it is really starting to warm up here. And all the missionaries here love to talk about the humid summers of Korea, one of my companions even said "Prepare to never be completely dry for about 4 months." I'll keep you all in the loop...
We do volunteer work at a welfare center that provides meals to the elderly every week, and they give us a free lunch after we do so. And I think that is where I get to try the most new Korean foods. This week's menu items were:
설짓국: A soup filled with some vegetables, along with coagulated cow's blood.
낙지: Octopus. There were octopus that were about 3 inches tall, served in a nice sauce
I did get a little sick this week, although not from eating the above foods. This weekend was accompanied by a small fever, but it's all good now. And before I got sick, we did get to teach a lot of people this week! One young man in particular, we are teaching in English because a English speaking family introduced us to him, so we are teaching him in their home. This week, while we were teaching, he decided that he wanted to get baptized! So we're working towards that in about a month, and we're super excited for him. And we have several others that we are meeting with that definitely could be ready to be baptized soon, so things are going well here!
I hope you all have a great week!
