Week 73: Music Practice and Doorstep Performances




So we found a stage at the college

It has weird pointy thing
Also aesthetic study spots are a thing


Discover Man
Grunt and Groan
Early Dawn but Late Start
Stop the Problem
How?
The Proof is Meandering

I would like to warn all you prospective missionaries out there that you will perform music a lot more than you expect on your mission. The members just always want it. So we've been practicing as much as we can between exchanges and appointments all over the district. We're a mess, but our pieces are coming together nicely. We'll make sure to video our Christmas party performance. 

Also on Friday our boiler broke, so on Saturday we got to go to the public bath in the morning. It was pretty great. We met one guy who had come out here from Gangnam to stargaze. He was studying aerospace engineering, a word I will always be grateful to know. Shout-out to Elder Brown. 

And ummmmm oh yeah, so at night it's cold, and a bunch of our appointments fell through this week so we spent a few nights caroling with the clarinet. It's amazing how many people aren't into it, but it's OK, because there's always one or two people who let us in. My favorite was this little family we played for on our first night. We were a little surprised when they let us in to be honest, and putting the clarinet together takes a minute, so we played the Christmas videos we have on our phone. The little girl, she must have been 4 or so, just loved it. We gave them the link to find the other Light the World things and she just held the card and was like, "I wanna see!" and it was adorable. 

And that's about it from Gangneung. We're gearing up to go to Seoul right after this so we'll catch you up on the temple and such next time around. Merry Christmas!

Best Wishes,
Elder Newton
So we're doing fun things for a member who lives right by the church
