These are pictures from the first restaurant we went to. The upper left is the cold noodle soup. The upper right is just a picture of the restaurant. And to the left is how the meat was cooked.
So this week was very interesting. Elder Durrant was alone to figure out the finances and what gets paid or not. Very difficult, because everything is in Korean. He was very frustrated. Can't learn a new system when you only have training for maybe 3 1/2 days. And the missionary that could answer some questions was busy with all the meetings and transfers.
When we got to the office on Monday all of the missionaries going home were there. The Korean missionaries leave Tuesday by 9:00 am and just take the train to their home town. The American missionaries were taken to the airport by 5:00 am to catch their flights home. On Tuesday at 9:00 pm, the new missionaries from the Provo MTC were picked up and brought to the mission home to get some rest.
This is Sister Redd and Sister Chambers. They were excited to be going home.
Wednesday morning the training began and it lasted for three days. The new missionaries were trained by the assistants and the office elders.
New missionaries: Elder Jong, Elder Lee and Sister Kim.
After that they all went out to start teaching the gospel.
We had lunch with them on Wednesday. We tasted kimshi that was very,very spicy. No more for me.
All I ate was the beef.
Elder Durrant tried some of the other things that were in our individual containers. I'm certain there was seaweed and anchovies there.
On Thursday, Elder Metcalf (trainer for Wayne) came back to the office to help him go to the bank. Thursday night, we had dinner with all of the District Leaders and their companions. Same kind of beef and side dishes. And lots of rice.
Friday was training for the Zone Leaders, MLC and training for the STLs. They invited us for lunch again but we had brought our own lunch.
So it is Saturday today. We went shopping at Lotte.
It is a nice big store with plenty of things to see and buy.
This is the produce section.
If you can't tell, this is baby octopus.
This is the cereal aisle. Same kind of packaging as in the US, but all in Korean.
Walkway to the subway station and a medical building in the background.
We went for a walk today also. There are cars everywhere
I guess we are glad we don't have a car.
Going to make some zucchini bread and snicker-doodles. We are having District Meeting tomorrow after church.
We love you all!
