Starships and an aquarium

February 12, 2012


I got to go to KASA. Kasa stands for the Korean Aeronautic and Space Adventures…. or something. haha anyways its where the astronaut space people work. Also where our ward mission leader works. We decided to hold an English class there for his co workers and it was like setting foot on the SS Enterprise. Seriously. They all told these awesome nerdy astronaut space jokes and there were all these time travel looking machines and no amount of pleading got you playing with them. I got to see cool photos of the universe and as i looked at them i was overwhelmed with how small i am. But then they all wanted to know how big I was and what my mother fed me when i was little. I told them cinnamon toast and otter pops. Blew their minds.


I also got to go to an aquairium on p day. I heard about this great one that has two pink baby dolphins in it. I was super excited. Hailed a taxi and said take me to the Daejeon aquarium! Next think i know we are outside this gigantic department store and the taxi driver gave me a post it note and told me to give it to someone inside. I did what the man said and i was directed to the "aquarium" on the third floor. Yeah. it was the pet store. WOW. Not a single dolphin either. We got some good pictures with the fishes though. 

We saw a bunch of miracles this week. We worked our buns off this transfer and we are starting to see lots of progress with our investigators. Even a baptism next week! So of course i am getting transferred. Back to square one. I'm going to be companions with a girl that went to timpview- don't really know her except she studied Arabic in college. Maybe she will teach me. Then i can communicate with the man who dad sold me to for 1000 camels in Egypt. wow that was random.

We threw a dessert party at the church last night for a couple families plus our investigators plus some less active families. It would have been awesome (we made awesome American desserts) except NO ONE CAME. Except the bishops family and my other favorite family in the ward. I felt like no one showed up to my sixteenth birthday party. But it ended up being SO fun. We played spoons. and i DOMINATED. It was especially fun because Koreans are mega competitive and they kept challenging me and I KEPT winning haha. Seriously went undefeated. I think i won their respect. I've loved it here. I'M so sad to leave. Missions sure do have a lot more heartbreak than i was anticipating. You completely give yourself over to these people and then you just get shipped off every six weeks. I hope president forgets about me for the rest of my mission and i can just die up there. 
Mom will you send me American treat/baking things? I want to start having my dessert thing a lot.
um. i think thats about all. sorry to hear about Whitney. The cafe im in in playing her music right now. Its kind of way depressing. 

love love love love you. I have the best family in the world. Time is going by ridiculously fast.
I HATE CHANGE! what if my companion hates me?!?! 
got the handwarmers mom. haha. Lifetime supply. Just as i requested. hahah
