Hi,
so you have a few questions...
I'm sorry my camera is dumb...I'm doing to the best I can and sometimes it just doesn't cooperate.
It snowed here last week but didn't stick for very long. It's been really really really cold. Koreans say it hasn't been this cold in a few years...good to know.
I can do with or without new garments. If you send new ones great, If not I'll survive. It's really no big deal. I like the dri-lux ones, small size. and I don't want to celestial smiles anymore, just get me the regular.
Never got a package from the Heilperns, but then again I haven't gotten mail in a while...I got the letters you mentioned and the card from Kaylie, loved it. I know I've been really bad about mail...I honestly usually have no time on p-day at all. I actually have a little time today and was planning on writing some. But I promise I'm doing my best.
The work is going great...we have 9 investigators and just picked up another one from a phone call this morning. They are all just kinda at the beginining stage right now and we haven't had a chance to teach a whole lot. But they are all really good and I can definately see some potential. (By the way our goal at the beginning of the transfer was 10 investigators by the 18th...that's tomorrow.)
The ward and branch are awesome. The ward is about 60 active and the branch is probably about 40, that one flucuates a bit more cause of military. But they both take care of us and are a ton of fun. One from the English branch just left on a mission to california spanish speaking.
I should get some mail on monday. President is starting to do interviews at our houses so he's probably gonna bring our mail then.
The big container of bugs is called 번데기 (Bun De gi) or silkworm larvae, and it's actually not bad at all. The dog didn't taste bad, but it did smell like wet dog. That was interesting. We're actually probably gonna go get it again. There's a bunch of guys in the military branch that wanna try it.
I'll write home about the dog and stuff and take pictures.
The steak was at an american style restaurant like my second transfer here. They do have American food here but steak and stuff like that are expensive. The fries are fries, they have Mcdonalds here and it tastes just the same.
WHY DONT YOU LIKE MY HAT??? I love it, and it keeps my head warm...it's really cold. And I'm aloud to wear it, so i do. President Hinckley has a hat like that you know. And the Koreans love it..so there.
I'll tell you about to getting lost experience. By the way, if you can't tell, those guys are drunk...we found out about 10 mins of being in the car...don't worry im still alive.
My camera is a camera. The settings are fine. Sometimes it just doesn't agree with me.
I love you all, have a wonderful week. Ask me tons more questions.
