Hey there,
Im glad the first week of school is good. Shyla, watch out when driving around hopewell, like 10 of my friends got in wrecks my senior year right in front of the school and in the parking lot. High school kids are stupid when it comes to driving. Im glad seminary is better. I dont think you can get better than Brother Wheatley and Brother Abbott though. A lot of what they taught me changed my life.
Kaylie, keep loving school. you'll get a lot more out of it that way.
Dad, i dont know how you do it. But good job working with both those regions. Im sure it'll pay off in the long run.
Mom, thats awesome with all the weddings this month. Im sure they'll turn out great. Too bad im not there to sit through every single picture of people i had never nor will ever meet. I actually quite enjoyed it.

Sorry to hear about Lisa. Keep praying for her. She'll see him again.

And on to the never ending questions...
Living conditions are typical for a missionary. and we live in the city. its all city.
I get along with my companion great. Hes been out about a year. He goes home next july.
I email from some building at the Incheon City hall (Inchon and Incheon are the same thing. Its usually in Korean, and it gets romanized different ways) No i dont have to pay.
about the thermals. I dont know exactly when ill need them. Its started to cool down so just send them whenever. I might be able to find a warm trenchcoat.. i dont have a clue.
Deodorant-NOT anti-persperant. gel kind. i usually get old spice.
toothpaste is toothpaste, i should be okay for awhile though.
i can live without cologne after this runs out...ive got no one to impress.
We get about 144,000 Won per month. i think. i dont know.
Im glad oreo is no longer dying of thirst. dumb cat.
On the map, Incheon is in fact a city. Its the same city as the airport. Mansu is i dont know...near Juan. Mansu in Korean is 만수. if there happens to be some korean on the map and Juan is 주안. Mansu is kinda close to the ocean i think. I cant describe where our house is yet..i dont know the area well enough.
Today, we went to seoul and saw a guy speak. His name is PJ Rogers. Hes american and served in our mission back in the day. But when he speaks Korean, you cant tell hes not from korea. Hes pretty awesome. Thats about the most exciting thing ive done on p-day so far.
Koreans hard. really hard. Ill get it eventually.
The only thing ive gotten in the mail is a tape from maria today. so i dont know when ill get your letters.
If people wanna know how im doing...tell them to write me...an actual letter. and ill be happy to write back and let em know. other than that...im great..im in korea.
I love you all,
Brinton
