I like aesthetics

Elder O'Brien and his glasses

Well, we've had an exciting week. We've bought Elder O'Brien glasses and sent a package to his home. Both of which got us some cool potential investigators, or at least nice friends in the post office and glasses store. If we keep this up, we'll know all the shop owners in 태백

Our fearless zone leaders

Empty chairs at (not so) empty tables where my friends will eat no more

We also had to go to Seoul though. It was the worst except for the bus ride going through the one corner of Wonju's area I never really went to. That was great. We also showed up to Seoul about the same time as our zone leaders, so we got dinner together at a really quaint Thai restaurant. Good memes and special made vegan food were had. 

President Sonksen had an old photo book out (ft. Soohorang and Bandabi)

Also President Sonksen has the best house. We got to stay in the General Authority room, and I think I had the best shower since my last trip to a 목욕탕

Old Wonju missionaries (l-r Bond, Newton, Saguinsin, Lee, Horne)

As for our mission conference, it was a good time to see old missionary friends, watch some Netflix, and get some Korean cultural appreciation. Y'all should really watch "Korea From the Air" or whatever it is we watched. It persuaded me to move here forever. 

We liked the old man in the PC room

As for the rest of our lives though, it was pretty normal once we got back to Taebaek. We saw some nice people and did service. Started the farm at the church. Also we made a new friend from the phone. They live in Gangnam now, but they like to call us for English questions. They're really good at English though, so the questions are like, "What's the difference between 'get,' 'make' and 'have'?"

Sunday was good. A 녹번 member who served here randomly showed up. He's really cool. He had pictures from when the branch president's daughter got baptized.

The Pond

But our sisters have been sent off to Seoul, so now it's just me and Elder O'Brien in charge of this vast expanse of Korean countryside. Also five meetings at church every week. And we lost our piano players. So Elder O'Brien needs to relearn hymns again. I don't know how the sacrament will work, but we'll figure it out. 

On the bright side, we've combined districts with 동해 so I will finally be able to go to that church. My son is there right now too, so it's all a party. 

That's all the time we have for today though, folks. Hope you're all doing well!

Best Wishes,

Elder Newton
