We have a new investigator we met with this week. She is a contact I made last week. She is kind of a crazy old lady who ended up teaching me Korean in our lesson, but hey, I will take it. Later that day we had a member lesson, and the member tells us we are going to eat hamburger so we are like okay that's cool. Well turns out she had ordered McDonald's for us! Hahaha in Korea you can get McDonald's delivered 24/7 pretty funny. The elders were super jealous when we told them.
This week was filled with a lot of packing, moving, and not so much unpacking. I have spent literally hours on the phone with the APs and the office elders. We had to coordinate our move then the APs came to move us, which went pretty smooth because they brought the mission van. Except the AP that I served with in my first area (Elder Mitchell) told me that morning that I had a 6 lb limit on things I carried. He was pretty adamant about me keeping that because he served with me he knows how I am and that I hate being treated like a dainty girl. But we got all moved. They then took us to Homeplus to buy some kitchen supplies and spices. When they picked us up, they said they had some news. Hahah, that's not usually good... :) The Korean AP was so afraid to say it, and Elder Mitchell was just laughing because he knows me. Well the Korean AP is like, "You don't have a fridge..." So I just started laughing, and said it was okay, and then he got even more nervous and said that we don't have beds....or blankets...hahaha. We were going to have to sleep on the floor, and he was so afraid to tell us and of what our reaction would be. I just started laughing and said that was fine. He was pretty shocked by how calm I was. Haha.
When we got there the next morning, we had to call Elder Mitchell again because our shower wouldn't train and the toilet was leaking. He had me try to fix it, which was a joke because I had no tools, so the next day they called the super and had him send someone to fix it. Well while having a meeting with our elders, the office elders call and Elder Jung who I served with in my first area asks if we are with our elders. I told him we were, and asked me to give the phone to Elder Park. I proceeded to make fun of him telling him that my Korean has improved, but I still passed the phone. When they were done we had to go to our apartment again because the man was there and the elders had to take us because the office elders didn't think it was safe for just us to go. Bless their little hearts :) On our way over there with the elders it was raining and as we were crossing the street my shoes came off twice! So finally I just picked them up and ran across the street barefoot. Elder Park was dying laughing and I am sure all the cars were so confused and concerned for their country having this weird barefoot foreigner running around.
So many stories to tell! This week we did exchanges again, and I got put with a sister on her first transfer who hasn't even been here for a month. I am not sure what Sister Gilbert wants me to teach or learn but she has paired me with a new trainee again for today's transfers. I will be going to 안덩 the farthest north area in our mission, where it is pretty much fields. So that should be fun. Everyone keeps telling me about how far away it is. Elder Mitchell told me to pay attention to the elders too because they don't get out there very often to check on them. So I feel like a spy now :)
Oh! Also, our new home's name is Happy Town! Hahaha. It is written in Korean, but when you read it it literally reads Happy Town. So funny!
There is so much I wish I had more time to tell you it all! Just know that I love you all so much!
Love you,
Sister Cheney
