Hey Mom, Dad, Shyla, Kaylie,

How are you? I'm doing great! I hope you liked the puzzles. I actually got myself one like dads, (I thought they were pretty sweet, and don't worry it's pretty easy to put together).

My New years was AWESOME. We got up really early and hiked a little mountain with the ward (korean) and watched the sun rise. It was pretty sweet. I got a couple pretty cool pictures. It was a lotta fun, but freezing! I guess a lot of Koreans do it. Other than that it's not a huge holiday. They celebrate the Lunar Calendar New Years (or Chinese new years) which is next month, I think on the 7th or 10th. Thats when everyone turns a year older. (I can't remember if i told you (your age goes up when the chinese new years comes) So I've been 20 years old since I got here. And I'll be 21 next month.

I love my new area! So ya, we go to church for 6 hours on Sundays, it's all in the same building. This one is a little nicer than my last area. It was pretty weird last week going to church and understanding everything. Mom, the Branch Presidents wife reminds me so much of you. She's just got the same sorta personality and talks a lot...like you.
Both the ward and the branch are pretty awesome. The ward has about 70-80 active so it's a bit bigger than Man su.

Everything came just fine. I loved it all, the jelly is amazing! Thanks so much for everything.

My bed isn't any nicer in this house. It's the same, (maybe a little worse) I think I'll just take a trip to the chiropractor when I go home. but ya, the house is AMAZING! It's so big. We definately live in the nicest house in the mission. (besides the mission home)

I really dont have a ton of time today, we had to go to the home for new senior training (Elder Kesler). By the way he is awesome. Pretty much the best companion yet. I love him!

Sorry I really am out of time today. I read everything. Mom I've gotten everything I promise. Stop worrying. Please try to let Vincent know somehow that I'm thinking about him and hope he's okay.

I love you guys, have a great week!
새해 복 많이 받으세요! (Recieve many new years blessings!)
