Falling For Guangu

Sorry i didnt email! It was Chusock? i have no idea how to spell that in english. sorry. Chusock is like thanksgiving and it was SO much fun. We got to make lots of doc- this rice cake sugar filled heaven. Koreans say that if you can make pretty doc you will have pretty daughters so I was feeling a lot of pressure when my doc looked like chewed gumball. Luckily i perfected my skills and by the end people stopped laughing at my doc and then they couldn't tell mine apart from the grandmas which meant that I am PROFESH. Huzzah! My daughters will be ridiculously good looking.  We also spent lots of time with members and i completely am taken with this place. The members are amazing and so strong. gwangju is so tame compared to Naju- at first it was kind of disappointing and I felt sort of out of place but im getting into the groove of things and its turning out to be SO great. I went on splits back to Naju last week. It was way fun except in the middle of the night I woke up and heard sirens telling us that North Korea had bombed south korea and we needed to run for our lives and so i woke up my companion and told her all of this and she freaked out and started running around grabbing her valuables and then stopped dead in her tracks- listened to the siren-glared at me-smacked my forehead and said it was an ambulance. SINCE WHEN DO AMBULANCES SOUND LIKE THAT?! also maybe i have an overactive imagination also maybe i was really disappointed because i really just want to be ingrid bergman in The Inn of the 6th Happiness and guide the korean children over the mountains to safety and into the waters of baptism. These are the awesome thoughts I get at three in the morning.   last week we had a special time at church... our 10 year old investigator came and started rolling around on the ground whimpering about how she hates church and then she tried to run away like six times and then she kept throwing our scriptures on the ground and then she called her dad and told him we were forcing her to stay and that church people were mean and nobody even HAD cookies. It was a real good time. We have a mission tour this week with a seventy who is... japanese. I am so excited!!! I honestly cant wait. I have something insane to tell you. I come home one year from today. This is horrible news. I dont even KIND OF speak Korean. How is time going by so fast!?!? ahhh! Happy birthday mom. I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck. I will find someone to baptize for you today. Well a million things happen every week but i cant remember them- ill just tell you when i get home ok? Oh one more thing- how is the Book of Mormon so amazing? also I had no idea that it was specially written for me. Every day I open it up and its like a special note from heavenly father telling me what i need to know. I love that book. It drives me crazy that i cant express myself well enough to explain how amazing it is to people- i just want to say "NO! You do not understand! This blue book can save your life! You NEED this!" oh well. that my life. Not being able to say what i want. roar. My companion is a doll. Its so amazing to be able to communicate and eat want I want to eat for breakfast- i never realized that those things were a right that could be taken away. Missions make you greatful. Thats for sure. Anyways I love you. So much. Thanks for everything. Read the Book of Mormon! Say your prayers! Lovie dovie all the time sista lund
