Earthquakes and JAIL‏

This week we had 3 EARTHQUAKES and they were pretty big ones 5.3!!  That is the strongest one I have felt while on my mission!!  We were having FHE at the church all of the sudden out of nowhere the church started shaking and I jumped up and started freaking out and everyone else was just still sitting calm.  You can still tell earthquakes are a new thing for me, but we continued with FHE and then like 30 mins later another one happened when we were leaving and this one was even bigger.  So we all decided to go home.  We weren't very excited to go home because our house is on stilts.  Like there is only 6 little pillars holding our house off the ground.  When we got inside our home the elders came up and told us we weren't allowed to be in our house for a while.  So we grabbed a bunch of stuff and waited outside of our house until we got the clear to go inside.  But let's just say we were praying hard that night that we weren't going to die in out house.  Then the next morning during our studies we had another earthquake!!!  Ahh so crazy, but that was all the earthquakes for this week.

It also was a Korean holiday this week.  So we went to Busan and did a 5k run there and ate lunch.  It was super fun I got to see Kim and Brady (my MTC companion and my favorite Korean ever).
Also because this week was a holiday no one was out.  It was pretty much like Thanksgiving, but in Korea.  So instead we baked cookies for the whole entire ward and made message cards to give them.

It also has been poring raining this week.  So we have been getting super wet.  One day on our way to an activity the elders called us and told us they had forgot their umbrellas at the church.  And so we had to go pick them up.  Well it was raining so bad that day that by the time we got to the church to get them, we were soaked.  There was not one spot that was dry because the rain decided to go horizontal instead of vertical, Korean rain is so weird like that sometimes.  But it makes life fun!!

We also went to JAIL this week.  Our elders have a investigator in jail and we wanted to meet him so we went with them.  And it was the weirdest thing.  I could escape from a Korean jail so easy!!!  They have no barb wire or dogs.  It's just a building, no fences or nothing!!!!  It was so weird.  The guy even came in with no handcuffs, and when the visit was over he left and put himself in jail!!!! I am still shocked by this.  Like completely shocked, Koreans are such nice people even in jail! Wow!

But this week has been a good week. Love you all!!!
