Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I saw it before you.
Koreans are really smart. Instead of staying up late and setting things on fire they wake up early and go hike a mountain and watch the first sunrise. WE ARE SO DOING THAT.
New years eve was fun. We had dinner with a less active and an investigator. Afterwards we made our way through the downtown area which was packed with people. Street performers playing traditional korean instruments, vendors, and of course batman. Batman is really scary. He walks around pretty much every day in full costume with a sign advertising the end of the world. He really freaks me out.
Anyways i noticed he was being followed by a bunch of teenagers who were harassing him and pulling and his cape and throwing stuff at him. Then Batman got real upset and started fighting them. Turns out batman isnt a very good fighter. They just sort of slapped each other and then batman got swung around by his cape. They tried to de-mask him but then he ran for the hills. BEST. hahaha
Also for some reason they were having a hugging festival in the middle of the downtown. It wasnt very cool for a girl who isnt really allowed to hug boys.
Imagine my discomfort. I dont like hugging strangers. Pretty sure no one does.
News years was super stressful and pretty much the opposite of fun. but whatever.
we got transfer calls this morning. We all knew i was getting tranfered so a bunch of the missionaries met at the church to have pancakes and say goodbye. It was fun.
Im going up to yusan... not sure how to spell that yet. Its near Daejeon. My companion will be sister miller. we will be cosenior together. living in a house with two other sisters. With two other sisters in our district. 2+2+2=6. Oh boy.
The four sisters are the ones i was in the mtc with.
yeah.
The is kind of cursed and sisters keep going home early from that area, and so the area hasn't had any missionaries for maybe three transfers and sister miller and i are white washing so its gonna be a fun fun time. Pray extra hard ok?
Im happy. I love korea. I love missionary work. I love new beginnings. I love when people send me packages with celltrex and things to help me be skinny and warm.
I loved talking to you on christmas. Honestly it was kinda hard after. I felt weird all week but im ready to go rule in Daejeon! Huzzah!
Say your prayers.
