Life is Good: May 5th Facebook Post

Days 7,8,9, and 10 of the life is good challenge:

I started this challenge and dropped it after day six. I need closure! I'm cheating but that's OK. 

Today I would like to express my gratitude for my fellow missionaries all over the world. And I especially want to thank my district for being awesome. I love these Elders and Sisters. They are all awesome! 

I challenge you guys to a modified version of this challenge. Just post one thing your thankful for. This challenge goes to anyone who is reading this post and especially my district. Love you guys! Read your scriptures!

Princess Disease [week 31]

Fun fact the word for brat in Korean literally translates to "princess disease."

Well I had a cultural experience with my fellow missionaries. It was swell. We ran around in robes called hanbok and looked at Buddhist statues at the Hwaseong fortress in Suwon. I liked it. It was cool. We rented these traditional costumes from a costume shop and most of the elders chose the peasant hanbok, but I chose the  one that a king would wear.  I guess I am a brat (see what I did there?).

I also went on an exchange with a cool guy named 이현호 Lee Hyun Ho. Pretty nifty huh?  It was a grand swell week. 

Stay in school don't do drugs. Also the advice that every old senior missionary gave at the cultural event for having good families is: 1- to not have a TV, and 2- to be united with your spouse. Those oldies are so full of wisdom. Literally three for three said basically the same thing when asked: "what is the key to a successful family?" Pay attention to the media that comes into your home. Books, music, TV, video games, etc. So um, yeah let's do that. 

Alright love you guys. Makes some choices that will unite your family. Over and out. Love ya bye. 

SCRIPTURES!!!

Read D&C 111:11 I'm memorizing it lets see how close I am. "Therefore, be ye as wise as serpents and yet without sin, and I shall pour out blessings for thy good Faster than ye are able to receive them." 

Check it and report back. Pronto stat asap

PICTURES!!!

Some wild Korean stuff and me. 

There's a happy lookin dragon. He must've just finished off some human beans ahahaha hahaha hah... get it? BEANS!?! There is no graffiti in Korea. It's crazy. The cities are so clean and safe. 

There's a dog in a stroller. I see this more than I see kids in strollers. 

Flub-a-dub-dub! [week 28]

Hi! My name is Truman Renfroe. I'm a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints. And I'm serving in the Korea Seoul South Mission. My mission is cooler than your mission.

I watched conference all this and last week. Wow. It's like it was meant for me and all my fellow missionaries and prospective missionaries. Just serve. Wow that sounds like a title to a terrible youth album song. (I know putting terrible and youth album in the same sentence is redundant, but that's OK I didn't want there to be any confusion.) OK but conference! Wasn't it amazing? Man I loved it. I thought it would be sad to not have crepes and Legos, as is the tradition in my home, but I was able to focus on every jot and tittle 100% of the time. It was so good. I'm going to re-listen to it at least twice all the way through by next conference. I can't wait. OH! I still have to watch the Sunday afternoon session. That'll be splendid! 

My cousin just gave his farewell talk and is going to serve in the Zimbabwe mission pretty soon. Go him. Also Joe Torman and Joe Nielsen are serving their missions pretty soon, AND my cousin Ben is serving a mission right now. What a bunch of cool cats and kittens they all are. 

Yeah conference was great. Serve a mission and be a good person and come closer to Christ and do t stress because God has a plan just for you. 

A super cool guy named Joshua 증 watched conference with us and he had a plethora of piñatas, and questions. And sister Banks had a plethora of metaphorical baseball bats to beat the ever living metaphorical saltwater taffies out of the piñata questions. Metaphorically that is. That didn't make sense, let me explain. 

Piñata=question

Baseball bat=answer

salt water taffy=disgusting candy that comes out of a cardboard emaciated donkey like blood comes out of a real emaciated donkey. But in this metaphor it also equals the happy ending of having all the questions answered. 

Ah... Clarity. 

Yeah Joshua wants to attend in person in six months, and he said he would watch the other three sessions on his own. What a stud. 

Today I'm going to play basketball with the office elders. There's three of them with me and my companion that makes five. After I write "my companion" this emoji 💕 shows up. That's special. 

Allright I love you guys. Serve a mission and watch conference. Love you my companions. 💋💖💕💗💞

PICTURES!

There is a church with a mural of Jesus. There are a TON of churches here. You can see three crosses from any given window with a big view. 

A selfie of me with a picture of ME!

There is a statue of a Christmas minotaur.

The picture of the wall with random stuff on it has a funny sign with a stressed mom and her bratty kids. That is frowned upon.

There are some Yukio cards. Neat.

Basket ball with the 선교사 😁
