| So anyway this is all the milk we bought for the week. It was pretty intense and accidental, but a good time nonetheless |

How?

Sorry to Mom for having to compile my emails, I sent them separately
because the bus is shaky and phone buttons are close together.
But
yeah, we've got ourselves a full week down in 태백.* Between two Sundays and
a random problem during the week, we've probably spent about 7-8 hours
on clerk stuff, so that's been fun. I hear it gets easier as you go on,
but so far I've just gained a lot of respect for Brother Burnside† back
home. He has to do all this for a ward every week. The poor man.
But enough about clerking, we have complete countryside 태백 times. It's great. On Saturday
morning we were in a tiny village in the middle of the mountains (most
of the more populated places in 태백 can be described this way) and we
were just finishing up tracting the whole thing when we saw a man a
little ways off vaguely going toward us. We waved to get his attention,
and he said something at us that I didn't understand. I assumed it was
because we were kind of far apart, but it was actually because he's the
hardest man to understand in Korea. (The last first counselor gave him
that nickname and it's pretty accurate.)
When
we got a little closer we were able to discern that he was simply
ancient, you wouldn't believe how wizened he was, and had three teeth. Then
he just started talking and pointing at random directions in the
mountains. I think he said something about kimchi, but we may never
know. The conversation went for like 20 minutes until we finally managed
to explain we needed to catch a bus home. He started to walk with us to
the stop, but kind of wandered off talking to himself. I hope he's OK
But anyway, we made it to 강릉‡ so I've gotta go. Have a good time!
