The Gongju Guantlet (35 & 36)
안녕하십니까?! I hope everyone had an awesome start to May. I want to start off by saying, HAPPY Mother’s DAY! I am so grateful for Mom and everything she has provided for me. I most definitely wouldn't be here without her and I most certainly wouldn't be able keep going if it wasn't for her! And how can I forget about my amazing grandmothers! Some of my most cherished memories are found by spending time with them. So, Mom, Grandma, Nainey thank you all for being such an impac

(33 & 34)
Hi! Guess who is back. Good to write back to all of you and I apologize for missing last week. Stuff happens. Some big things happened these last 2 weeks so lets go ahead and get into it. Gongju, Round 2... Transfer calls happened April 15th and if you read the title of this paragraph you would know that I am staying here in Gongju! Staying in the same area for 2 transfers is nothing new to me as I did it in Gokbanjeong. What is new to me however is staying with th

WALK WITH ME (31 & 32)
Happy Easter! First Easter here in Korea and it was pretty anticlimactic. The Easter Bunny did not come to the missionaries unfortunately but the flowers sure did. I am blessed to be here in Gongju at this time because of all the Cherry Blossoms that have shown up all over the trees. I literally cannot describe how fast they showed up. One day it was as barren as a desert and the next it was almost as if someone switched a light on and there was white pedals everywhere!

Music Is How The Spirit Speaks To Me. (30)
Hello! Not really a ton to talk about this week but I will say it has been a test of patience. It was pretty tiring and the week felt so slow. But sometimes you just have those. Anyway, here is basically what happened this week and what is next to come. Interviews and Meetings So this week we had interviews which was nice to see our mission leaders again. Although I only got to talk to them for a little bit. I got to see some of the Elders in our zone which was cool

Mission Tour. (29)
Hey! So, today marks the third P-day out here in GongJu and to be honest its going by quick. By the time some of you will read this email I would have been a missionary for 7 months now which is just absolutely insane to think about. Both in the fact that its somehow been 7 months and also that I have 17 left. I pretty much just started a Sister missionary's mission haha. Anyways, this week was eventful but not in the ways you might think so lets just jump into it! Missi

Gongju Is In Desperate Need Of An Apartment Change (27&28)
Waddup! Hope you guys had a good week! Here in the Korea Seoul South Mission (KSSM) has been really awesome! I saw so many miracles this week and I've been really pushing myself to be the best I can. Without further adue let's talk about the week! GongJu Area. After living in Suwon for 12 weeks I thought moving a decent ways down south would make things drastically different. However, as it turns out when people say "countryside" in Korea it usually means there is 3

NEW CHAPTER? Week 26
Waddup. This week was pretty eventful mainly because it was the last real week of the transfer. Unfortunately it will also be the last real week before a significantly large change. So, lets get into it! The Farewell Party This week we had a Farewell party here in Gokbanjeong and it was for Sister Hess who has finished her misson. The amount of stuff that the ward has us do was actually insane. We had a combined total of about 5 musical preformances (Including us).

My Brother, Spider-Man (22 & 23)
Hey! I feel like each time I write these emails I have to reflect a lot more on how much time has passed. In some ways a lot has passed and in others it hasn’t. Either way though each week feels like a blur and it’s been harder to remember certain things. But anyway, let’s jump into what happened! (The past 2 weeks because I missed last week... Oops.) Zone Conference Zone conference happened and it was nice to see all of the other missionaries. Including the ones from
