Oh HI! Sister Seo left. I am traumatized. Sister Lee is... special. She is KOREAN. She speaks a little english and so between us the miscommunication are in abundance. She calls me her beauty and talks to me like im her pet. "come, my beauty" or "thank you, my beauty" sometimes people run away from us and she loves to run after them and then they throw things at her... and me. Its cool not speaking korean because I dont know what anyone is saying so its the funniest thing in the world and ask them if they want to participate in our gospel english program.

UM ok. I almost died this week. Korean meals usually is rice with tons of little side dishes with sketchy stuff in them. Usually i try to eat some of everything because i figure if i sacrifice my body the lord will let me speak korean. I was going about this practice and ate this little black pepper looking thing. At first it was crazy spicy and then my whole body erupted in pain. I started sweating, i got the worst headache of my life, the room started spinning and I BLACKED OUT. Feel free to read that again. This pepper thing was so spicy my vision went black.

Never again will I eat a pepper... unless an investigator asks me to. oh gosh.

My new companion loves to cook. She tries to get me to eat fish heads for breakfast. I lovingly told here there was no way in heck I was eating anything like a fish head for breakfast. She also LOVES kimchi.

NO i have NOT gotten used to kimchi. It is horrible and my whole life smells like it. I will conquer though.

So im not sure if ive told you about elder Chong. He is the senior missionary in the branch. He has a red scooter. Sometimes he comes and finds us to tell us he has someone for us to teach. Then he makes us run behind the scooter while he rides. He also takes treats out of my hands that the branch members give us and eats them. He asks me to buy him things everytime I see him. He also tells me my Korean is horrible every time I see him. His house gives me food poisoning.

I want to fight him in a dark alley. He might sound funny and cute but he is a bully and my goal for this week is to not box him... and show love and serve him.

Its fun to start new. But i miss sister seo. I felt kind of pathetic this week but things are getting better.

GOOD WEEK. So glad everyone is traveling all over the world having fun times.

I LOVE KOREA!
