July 17th

So right as i started emailing I got a call from the mission president about transfers and now I only have like 20 minutes so ill do my best ha.

Ok sister seo ye ji is going home this week. I am pretty destroyed about it. I love her like a sister (dont worry chris ill always love you best). So when President called about transfers he asked me how things have been with her and I started crying and saying how much i loved her and begged him to make her extend- it was really embarrassing and sister seo just kept laughing at me but the AMAZING news is that im getting another KOREAN COMPANION! Everyone keeps telling me she so amazing and so much fun so im thrilled- it takes the sting away a little. I cant remember her name and i guess she doesnt speak much english but I know that im so so blessed/lucky!

Every other day feels like monday but then I look back on my week and SO MUCH has happened.

Remember the ancient lady who committed to be baptized? We went to visit her a couple days before her baptism and as we started to pray she says out loud "im going to die soon". I open one eye and look at her like did you really just say that? Then she says again "everyone says im dying and its true"... ok. Then as we start teaching she says I cant get baptized I cant remember the rules and Im probably going to be dead before Sunday. So we decided to push back the date and start over with the lessons. Its kinda funny but kind of horrible. In my prayers every night I pray she wont die because honestly she is SO old and SO weak. I love love love her. Every time we come she says "sister london you're like sunshine" in korean of course and i love it.

we got POURED on the other day and my Book of Mormon was ruined so i decided to retire it and leave it on the bus for someone to pick up. As the bus drove away this little old lady sticks her head out the window and yells hey you forgot your book! and throws it a whole two feet out the window, and then it gets run over by 1000 cars. It wasnt exactly how I pictured the books destiny but it got us laughing pretty hard.

The rains stopped a couple days ago- something i thought would be good but then it turned into a heck sauna outside.

SO HOT YOU HAVE NO IDEA. By the end i am dripping. I take an ice shower in the middle of the night so I dont drown in my sweat- too much information? sorry.

Relief society was AWESOME yesterday. It was about eternal marriage which is usually a happy topic but not in Naju branch.

We have a senior mission couple in the branch who are sort of... special. The teacher asked everyone who was sealed to raise their hands- sister chong, the wife of the senior couple, did not raise her hand. Everyone had a heart attack and asked her why. She responded (shouting) "i do not want to spend forever with that man!" then everyone started yelling about how she has to get sealed and then all these ladies started telling the women who were sealed that they couldn't talk because they all had nice husbands. It was fascinating.

We had another acupuncture clinic. This time my job was to light the needles on FIRE. Not even kidding. Missions are awesome.

ok NO TIME gotta go.

I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY.

bye
