So Thanksgiving was this week. It's not a holiday here in Korea, so we spent quite a bit of it on Christmas prep, but for dinner we had our 10kg boz of (gyoor). It was amazing, and also we only maybe got through 2kg. But it's k. I've basically been living off of 귤 all week. We have so many. It's great.

But back to Christmas.

Have y'all seen the new video the church put out? It's so sick.* Watch it. I love it. Just do the service advent calendar. Like it's such a good video we figured out how to reformat it and put it on our flip phones. Well, we're working on it. I don't think our phones were meant to have videos that good play on them. But we are using them to their full technological capacity. They even have bluetooth.

By the way, we had a stake choir competition on Saturday. I haven't mentioned it here, because Elder Brown and I never could make choir practice, so we thought we wouldn't have to sing. Well … we were wrong. 

See, we were trying to teach a lesson to this real cool kid, when the second counselor in the bishopric came in and basically said, "Oh hi investigator, nice to meet you. We need to borrow these guys to sing for a bit. Come watch!" Then we went and sang. It was fun. We also got to watch the sisters' violin/piano duets. One was "Where Can I Turn for Peace" and the other was a "Pirates of the Caribbean" medley. They had to arrange the latter one from the violin 1 and 2 parts that were written in different keys. It was pretty great. They were at the church all week practicing. I even helped them with some of the transitions in the piece because they had to cut it down. It was great.

Anyway, love y'all! Watch the Light the World stuff!
