Life is Good Facebook Challenge [week 19ish]

I love these guys! Elder Jack Livingston is a good guy! So is Elder Jonah Del Priore and Elder  Joe Griswold. All great guys, and it was cool to watch them grow as a companionship. They weren't really best buds towards the beginning of MTC and by the end they were the closest of friends. I'm grateful I got to know these guys before they went to the Korea Seoul mission. I wasn't challenged to the life is good challenge, so I challenge myself today! The future posts are probably going to be shorter than this one though so I can write them in English and Korean. 

Feb 4th, Day 1: I'm thankful for my MTC 동기 (peers)

February 7th: Day 2 of Life is Good. I am super thankful for my siblings! I challenge Brigham Renfroe to participate in the 10 day challenge.

저는 여동생과 남동생이 너무 감사합니다.

February 8th: Day 3 of the life is good challenge. I am thankful for the people I am able to teach, here in Korea. I love them all so much. I won't challenge or post pictures of them for their privacy, but know that I love them!

제 가르침 진친구들을 사랑합니다!

February 9th: Day 4: life is good challenge. I am thankful for delicious Korean food. Today I challenge Adam Stucki to the life is good challenge. I love this guy! He was my roommate and he is on a mission right now. What a cool guy!

저는 한국 음식을 좋아하고 감사합니다!

February 11th: Day 6/10 of the life is good challenge in which I say something I'm thankful for, and challenge someone else to do the same thing 10 days jn a row.

Today I would like to say thank-you for the 몰몬 경. (Book of Mormon) and all the other great resources the gospel library has to offer. I look forward to personal study more than anything other than meeting with friends to teach. Good stuff. Today I invite 이승규 장로님 (a top notch missionary) to participate in the life is good challenge if he so desires.

저는 몰몬경을 사랑합니다!

안녕하세요 me homies? [week 18]

촌아칩니다! Gooood morning or whatever. I'm on the other side of the planet so I can say "good after midnight" and you can't correct me! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

So! What did I do this week you ask? Well thank you for asking! On the day of Tuesday, Elder Titensor and I met with a teaching friend named 아리 (Ali).  She is from Cambodia and she has a different name there. I've heard like three names that people call her, so maybe she is an identity-thieving con artist. Anyways, we had some tea and talked about how we are missionaries and we teach English and about the restoration a little bit. She is super nice! And super short. It was fun talking to her. I didn't understand all of it because one of the three languages she speaks is not English. She speaks fluent Korean and Cambodian and one other language I forgot. She is super nice. Later in the week she took us to a 삼겹살, he most delicious Korean restaurant you can go to. She is so super nice! And kind of weird, but who cares! She is nice and wants be friends and took us to eat expensive, delicious food!

At the end of the day (the literal end of the day, not the stupid colloquialism that people use when they are about to say something profoundly moot and obvious {there is a good bit by Gary Gulman about "at the end of the day". You can probably find it on YouTube}) ANYWAYS 앟마튼, at the end of the day I talked to 이승규 장로님 (Elder sung kyu lee) and I was in an especially chipper mood and he asked, "How is the Korean coming?" And I was like, "Awesome-euh!" (Which is "awesome" in a Korean accent). He was silent for a few seconds and then said, deadpan as can be, "I'm speechless-euh." He is a funny dude. We about my can-do attitude in learning the language. He ended up talking me up in district council the next day, and saying how cool my positive attitude is. I like him! 

On Sunday two teaching friends came to sacrament meeting! Wooooo! This is super hard to get people to do because it's over Zoom. But they came to the church building and we watched sacrament meeting on a TV. Good times. 

Allright! I love you guys, you are all the best. Have a jolly good week. Over and out! 사랑해요  I love you.

Truly, Truman 

PICTURES!!!

I pretend to feel disgusted with myself for sending you memes, but they are fun. I usually send pictures that I take the day I write, because that is Preparation Day. But this P-day is kind of another work day, because I'm trading companions for a day for training purposes or something. The only picture that needs explaining is the bottle. It's a delicious scrum-ba-dilly-umptious tea. Best served warm. Would recommend. 

Year of the tiger!
