HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!!

So just a bunch of random little things from the week::

We had a member take us out and she bought me a $60 lobster because i told her i didn’t like steak.  oops.... next time i’ll just eat the dang steak. :)

We found out the sisters we’re teaching.....the ones in the super fancy apartment.....well they have a super famous korean singer that lives like five floors down from them. I don’t know who it is, but Sister Chestnut was kinda starstruck when she heard who it was....

We got a new elder in the area:  Elder Kelson from Sandy Utah...he’s like 6’4” and has thick glasses...the 1st counselor introduced him as ‘elder superman’....

The toilets in the church are heated. One of the big mob-boss-looking old rich guys in the ward works for....*waitforit*..........”The World Toilet Association”.  yep. He’s overflowing with money. hahahah


Me and Sister Chestnut taught primary and might be doing it all the time now.... They are turning our primary into an english class—there are only like 4 kids in the ward...so they’re going to do primary in english so that theoretically people could invite other non-member families to bring their kids to this free ‘church english class’.... Its kinda weird and i’m not a big fan of the idea, especially since they’ve now just dumped the entire primary on us....... but the Primary president cornered us so we couldn’t refuse her. hahaha   and then she bought me the $60 lobster to try and make up for it.    I just think its weird because primary is supposed to be for gospel learning andthe kids can’t understand english well enough to learn anything...so then we kinda translate as we go, but i don’t think they can understand our accents very well...They whole thing is strange, but it will be fine if we can get some new investigator families out of it....

We visted the oldest couple in our ward. The husband is the old turtle from Kundfu Panda. like i mean they are exactly the same...same look, same voice same personality. its hilarious.... He was born in North Korea (just korea back then...)  had to fight for the japanese during WWII  then ended up a war prisoner in russia for a few years.   Then since he learned russia as a young man....him and his wife were the first missionaries that went into eastern siberia. He has a crazy life story....speaks korean, japanese, russian, chinese and really good english

Anyways, these pictures are from that night going to find their house.



We went up on this cool lit crosswalk...



it was snowy and dark and it had cool wood steps going up to it. 




This is the view from the walk...


Weird letter this week....we’re just moving slowly forward with all of our investigators....enjoying living in gangnam at least another 6 weeks. Doing really well and so glad to be here!
