Once upon a time it was raining the storms of Noah outside and the wind was blowing so hard I almost flew away. We had to go to district meeting so I grabbed my green umbrella with green hearts on it and lacy rims that was never actually intended to be rained on. We went outside and it promptly broke due to the gale force winds so i was getting drenched and running with my umbrella pointed in front of me to block the wind. The problem is that it also blocked my vision and so I kind of sort of didn't see the car that hit me/I ran into full force. Head on collision. Man vs. vehicle. Guess who won? Before I could say kimchi there i was on the hood of an Asian lady's car with an even more broken umbrella and an even more severely damaged pride. I slid off the hood of her car and tried to act like it wasn't a big deal but IT WAS. I GOT HIT BY A CAR! but really maybe i just ran into a slowly moving car running as fast as i could. Can you imagine what the lady in the car was thinking? She's just doing her thing driving down the street when out of nowhere a giant American with a broken green umbrella comes charging at you and just doesn't stop and ends up on the hood of your car. The best part was that she just shook her head and drove away. I would have been freaking out if i hit a korean lady! All the missionaries saw. and that is all i will ever be remembered for in the Korea Daejeon mission. I am ok btw. But i probably need lots of care packages.
In english class last week we were playing 20 questions and the word was Jesus. The lady asked if the person was alive or dead. One of the elders responded that he died but he is alive again so naturally she guessed Michael Jackson.
We are still working with Jack sparrows family and they are the loves of my life. They are really progressing and they pinky promised to come to church this week. I will die of happiness if they really come. its been like 11 years. Their kids are out of control and it is battle royale every time we go over. Elvis their son (yeah, his name is Elvis) Suprise attacked me while i was hiding in a fort with a bag of open glitter. NOT COOL. Ive been sneezing glitter for like a week which might sound kind of magical but its really not. it is currently elections in Korea and they do the craziest stuff here. Like these huge trucks that drive around with loud speakers blaring crazy Korean pop songs and pictures of hopeful senators doing a hand stand. At the giant intersection downtown at every corner crosswalk stood 6-8 korean ladies holding posters with a politicians face and doing an absurd choreographed dance to crazy polke techno music. I want to do that for Mitt when I get home.
Our apartment is near a huge catholic church and every Sunday morning at 6 they play this insanely loud heaven angel music goes off and every sunday morning I wake up delirious- sure that its the second coming going on outside.
General conference was amazing. I LOVED it. I laughed so hard when that guy made the super chauvinist joke about unrighteous dominion but no one else did because im pretty sure "im your husband and i have the priesthood" is a legitimate argument in korea. I love them. I am always left wanting to do and be so much better after conference. I felt tlike ever talk was written for one of my investigators. Im going to make them all watch conference.
I love spring in korea. It is breathtaking. The blossoms are out and everything smells amazing... when you arent smelling gas fumes.
I love this gospel i know that it is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet- i know that because every time I talk about him and what happened in that grove of trees in any language I feel an unmistakable assurance from the Lord that it truly did happen.
I love you. Thank you for your love and support. I am blissfully happy. There is nowhere else in the world i'd rather be.
Happy Easter! i love cadbury eggs
