Alright, let's see how fast I can type with cold fingers... (the place where we email from is freezing)

Monday we visited a member for his birthday, then came back, ate, and played ping pong and some games with the district. That was pretty quiet, but I'm good with that. After that, we went over to Nokbeon again, for exchange number 3 with Elder Apigo, haha. That was pretty fun.
Tuesday with Elder Apigo we studied, then jundoed for a couple hours, then we bounced back to Shin Chone for dinner with Elder Grey (a temple missionary... Being temple missionary here would be pretty sweet, by the way). He is a super nice guy. He has been here for a couple months, and has been learning with us to learn Korean. He's a really nice guy, that was a fun dinner, before getting told that we had to teach English class and give the message, with no prep time... that wasn't cool, but it turned out alright.
Wednesday we had zone meeting. The whole thing was on the new Christmas video, "A Savior is Born". The mission is doing a huge initiative to push this video, and getting members involved. Let me tell you, it's kinda hard to get stuff going online when you have no access to the Internet... (Pres. Sonksen said we are never getting iPads here in the mission... kind of a bummer, but I'm fine without one) so yeah, zone meeting was kinda boring, not a whole lot of new stuff. They've already talked about the new program a lot before this. After that, we were supposed to meet a couple of people, but they bailed on us cause of unknown reasons... kinda lame, but we got to go to a member meal, which was cool. They bought a ton of Sahm Gyup Sar (the thick bacon) with lettuce and hot sauce and rice... such a good meal, it was almost like a buffet there was so much. That was a good time, we showed them the new video, and shared our Christmas testimony.
Thursday we jundoed for a while, then met Kim Dong Ho, our pastor buddy. That was interesting. He started to go off into Revelations about the one man who will be standing at the last day when Jesus comes, and pulling out more weird Revelations stuff... It's so frustrating when people pull out Revelations... it's super figurative and everybody points to random stuff to fit their point of view. We tried to teach him, but Elder Ashby got a little mad with him, and it was overall just a weird lesson. Turns out, he might be part of a church that nobody likes, even more than us... really weird church, they go to over churches acting as investigators, then stand up in the middle of worship service and start proving the pastor to be a fool, just to get more people to join their church. Plus, all their churches are hidden, and nobody can tell where they go. It's a really weird church...
After that Elder Ashby had more Zone Leader stuff to do, so I talked with Elder Bluhm, who served out in 강릉 (Gangneung)... so I heard a lot about it, not knowing I would be going there in a week. That was pretty fun time.
Friday we planned, then jundoed... not much exciting happened that day.
Saturday we jundoed, and did English class. Nothing exciting, until that night. We did caroling. That was pretty fun time, singing Christmas hymns in the cold. Right after we stopped that, we got the call that I was leaving. Elder Judd is leaving too, that's all for our district. Pretty fun time.

Not much else happened this week. Tomorrow we have temple, then I leave on Thursday! I'm stoked to go live on the coast and just become kinda forgotten out there, so to speak.
Take care, love you all
