I live in Chongju now. Its maybe an hour north. It is MUCH colder
here. They actually get snow and you better not expose your hands to
the cold or they will surely snap off. I love it here. Our apartment
is a shoebox and maybe the most ghetto thing i've ever seen. Every
time someone in the building takes a shower the pipes make this crazy
loud dolphin cry. It does not set the mood for sleeping. nope. Mom
remember when i turned eight or nine and we were in hawaii and you
signed Kendis and I up for the "dolphin show" and all we got to do was
stick tubes down their throats and give them their medicine? haha.
anyways...
Sister Sagers is my new companion. She is blonde and very very very
smart. She studied molecular biology and arabic in college.
yeah i studied art history and public relations.
We had a funny day on Saturday. We were visiting a bunch of less
actives when we came out of an apartment building and across the
parking lot i see a blonde girl. I told my companion and she asked if
i wanted to talk to here and before i knew it I was running across the
parking lot after her. We ended up having to chase her for like three
blocks and I felt like the biggest freak but we finally caught up and
"smoothly" said hi. She takes out her earphones and is super friendly
and from florida. Then we found out that her boyfriend is a less
active member of our shurch and she thought he would maybe like to
talk to us. Yeah she'll get baptized. ill keep ya posted.
Then we went to another less active's house and knocked on the door.
This particular less active is known for being amazingly aloof. But he
was home and let us in! His whole family was home and we instantly
bonded. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their family. I also love that their dad IS
Jack Sparrow. Facial hair, cheek bones, attitude, maybe even carreer.
He's just the Korean version. Anyways his english is amazing and we
got talking and told him about our english class that night. He
immediately got his oldest daighter ready and drove us all to english
class. Later the elders told us how they have been trying to get in
touch with him for months and that his wife and children are not
baptized... anyways Jack Sparrow invited us over anytime. I had
several experiences like that this week where we were simply at the
right place, at the right time, saying the right things. I sometimes
think how do things turn out JUST RIGHT. or how did I even think to
ask her about her mother- or what was going through our heads that it
was a good idea to chase some lady three city blocks to tell her hi?
Then I remember that there is a God in heaven who cares deeply for us.
He is aware of our noblest desires and our most profound heartache. He
has a remedy for everything. And most of the time His remedies come
through others.
im so tired today. The wind NEVER stops blowing. I talked our whole
district into going to a cat cafe today and our
previous-assistant-to-the-
less than pleased because he is allergic to cats. Luckily I found some
dishwashing gloves, a sergical mask, and swimming goggles so that he
could participate. He didnt think it was very funny but you should
have seen him petting the cats with his pink dishwashing gloves. Best
day of my life.
love ya
