I am alive, in 안동 {Andong} ! I got transferred. So, today and yesterday was nuts, and I will get on tomorrow to email for reals! But I'm alive and well! My new area is gorgeous. SOoo pretty. My comps are neat. This area is th largest in the mission, but it is only a 40-member branch! Anyways, i love you all, ill write tomorrow!
Okay, just kidding! I'm emailing now apparently! It will just be short! I'm standing in the middle of an LG showroom floor using one of the super nice computers that I am never going to buy ^^ So I got transfered out of 도계 !! ㅠㅠ {korean crying face} I loved that area and the members so much! I was only there for one transfer. I am now in 안동 {Andong} , which is the largest area in the mission! It is a branch of about 40 members! hahah we met our Branch President today who is a 40 minute bus ride away from us. When I first got to Korea, I remember thinking that it was gorgeous!! Which it is. But Andong, just gets better! It is countryside, so we will be farming quite a bit with the members!! I am in a trio with a Korean sister who is on her 5th transfer, and an American who is on her last transfer! I sent off Sister Burgoyne, ㅠㅠ and I will now help send off Sister Simpson! The two elders i our area are both Korean, so I am the only missionary in Andong who doesn't know what's going on half the time. XD It's so great though.

So this full baby octopus was part of a lunch last week. It was good! hahaha.
I don't really have all my sense right now to tell you what I was going to, it's been a crazy day! 하지만! {BUT!} I am doing fantastic. I know exactly why I am out here on a mission. It's not because I wanted to travel, it's not because I didnt want to choose what to do with my life, it isn't because I was running away from stuff at home. It is not becuase I want to baptize, it's not because I feel like I should, and it's not because I have a burning desire to share what I have.{which is true, but not the reason} I am serving a mission strictly because I love the Lord. I love my Savior so much, and I will do what he asks me to do. I trust him to help me accomplish what is best for me in my life, right now. I know that this gospel blesses lives. I know that i met each of you somehow, for some reason. Each of you have helped some aspect of who I am. I am already a third of the way through my mission, which seems nuts. I could do this work for so much longer than a year and a half. I have learned so many things, become a better version of the Josee i was, and come closer to my Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ. My life is the way it is becuase of this amazing gift my parents gave me by raising me up in the church.
I love you all, and I hope you have a great week! Say hi to strangers, do service for others, and eat weird food! It's great! ^^
