friendship night

Getting to see Sister Scott and Sister Burgoyne (from the MTC) 

at training day this past week at training day in Busan.

I hope you are all doing well! From the letters and emails I have received it sounds like it has been adventurous and good! 

So I just wanted to start out by telling you all that I am so happy!! Like genuinely happy!!! My first transfer was the hardest time of my life, and I admit that I almost quit multiple times. But because of all of that, I have learned so much about myself and the Savior's love for each and everyone of us. Life is still hard and there are many unknowns but I am so happy!!! This gospel is amazing and I get to bring this message to the people of Korea 24/7. How awesome!! Also thank you so much for all your letters!! I love each and everyone of you and miss you like crazy!!! I am so sad all the things I am missing out on but I am so grateful to hear about all of them and still feel in the loop! :) So thank you!

Okay so big news!! Kim chi is starting to grow on me! :) This past week I had a craving for kim chi chi gae. It is pretty much kim chi cooked in water and other things to make like a soup. I am still not the biggest fan of plain kim chi but man kim chi chi gae is so so so good!!! Just wait until I get home and stink up the whole house!! :) You're welcome!! I apologize now for the way I will smell and the way that I will make the house smell, but it's gonna happen!! :)

This week we had a ward activity called Friendship Night. It was a huge success!!! We had so many youth there and their friends!!! It was a lot of work together and all my previous party planning slash Pinteresting went into use :) So there you go, it wasn't a complete useless suck of my time! :) It was so much fun and everyone really got into it! At one point our bishop was sprawled out on the floor so he could win a game! So hilarious!!

We went to a baptism yesterday in another area and took our investigator. It was a really good experience and after she asked me if this is how it would feel to be baptized and I couldn't stop smiling!! The Spirit was so strong. Also President and Sister Gilbert were there and Sister Gilbert came up and told me to introduce her to our investigator. So it might have been rough, but I did it!!! I translated between a Korean with pretty much no American and an American with very very little Korean. So cool!!! I felt so accomplished after! Even in all its horrible rough Korean! So awesome!!

So you know your a missionary in Korea when....

+ you get on the subway and there is a man with 2 birds on his hat!

+ you get on the subway in your area and it is sunny and hot and you get off at home and it is horrible down pour and you have no umbrella so you run home soaking wet!!! Like literally soaking!! Nothing dry on me!!! So  funny!!!! Man I love being a missionary!!!

Love you all so so much!!! Thank you for all your love and prayers!! I feel your prayers and am blessed greatly by them!!! Thank you!!!

Love,

Sister Cheney
