During the week we were proselyting and we saw these two Grandmas on the bridge and they were staring at something. When we got closer we found that a kitten had gotten stuck on a ledge of the bridge and couldn't get off because he was injured and they weren't able to reach him. So because I am so much taller than most Koreans I just reached through the fence and grabbed the kitten for them. They were very happy. I literally felt like a fireman who had saved a cat from a tree for an old lady. hahah
We also went and visited one of our english class members in one of the more country parts of our area. It took us about a 15 minute bus drive to meet her. When we went and visited her she had her son come meet us down at the bus station and they were just so excited that we came and visited them. When we got to their house they kept feeding us food and they even turned on there AC unit for the first time ever. It was just so fun and we even got to cut wood for her. But they are some of the most giving people I have ever met and they just made our week.
One of our members found that I play volleyball. So after one of our activities with the YM and YW he went and bought us a volleyball!!! We were so excited! Today we are playing against the elders and whoever loses has to buy ice cream for everyone. We're super exited about that!!
We also rode bikes this week. Because our area is so big and so country we have bikes, but we never have ridden them before. And I was hoping we never would. But we had an appointment that didn't have a bus that went by there and it was too far to walk so we had to ride bikes........ So we tried to ride them with skirts, but we could tell it wasn't going to work because it was super windy and our skirts were just going everywhere. So we ended up just taking our skirts off and putting sweats on. It was a sight to see haha it took us over a hour to bike to there house and it was the hottest day this week when we were biking and so we were super sweaty but now i can say that we have ridden bikes and I don't think we are ever going to do it again because our butts hurt way too much from the bike ride hahaha.
Here are some answers to your questions Mom.
We mostly walk everywhere we go. And if it is too far away we will take a bus, and if it is even farther we will take a train. And we do have taxies that we can take sometimes if we have to get somewhere in a hurry, but we are mostly walking.
Our apartment is super nice like I am still surprised how nice it is. It has two bedrooms and a kitchen area though it is really small. And we just sleep in one room and the other one has our closets and the washer in it. The bathroom is small and it has a toilet sink, a shower and a normal toilet. The shower is different, it has no curtain. It's just like the whole room is tiled so everything just gets sprayed down.
The stores are really small like boutiques everywhere, but they are really run down I don't know how to really explain it.
Our typical meal just depends, sometimes we get takeout and that can just vary. But if a member is feeding us it's rice and then a meat and then a bunch of different side dishes. And then you take the meat and rice and put it in a lettuce leaf and shove it in your mouth.
At church we are in Young Womens so we teach one young woman on Sunday. And then we just have to set up the chairs and clean the church before.
We mostly just go out and walk and talk to people while we are walking and sometimes we go and knock doors.
Korea is fun, i love you all!!!
