dearest fambly
you had better be online right now writing to me...cuz all i have is brown choros address which, as grateful as i am for it, hardly consitutes a letter.
anyhow, it is obon and apparently the anniversary of a rather hectic couple of bombings in past years...cuz this email place is full of paper cranes, and pictures of atomic bomb victims....i totally forgot that happened around this time of year.
anyhow, i only have half an hour today so i shall get going on the happenings of this week. if i can remember what happened this week. we had dinner at the stevensons but that happens pretty regularly.
my goodness! i dont think i have anything interesting to report at all! I guess it was bound to happen...its been threatening to all summer... but previously i had a bug war to expound on and so i could fool you all into thinking life was interesting here.
before i forget, next week is transfers and so i will be emailing a day early again.
i am pretty much gone from kichijoji. that is a given. i wonder where i will go...
the weather hasnt cooled down any...the members are all kind enough to constantly tell us there is no hope of that in the near future. fantastic. haha.
we went to sunny`s house on tuesday. she is our korean investigator with her son heeguen. they are so cute and fun but their interest in the church is small right now. they are an extremely close family though and family is sooooooooo important to them. so right now we are teaching them by going to their house and helping heeguen with math and just being their friends while teaching them at the same time. we teach math for like half an hour and then have a lesson for about half an hour.
sunny loves learning and reads the book of mormon in korean and english. she knows this church is good but she doesnt know why yet. she isnt opposed to learning about it or to religion but she says it will take time. that is fine by us. as long as she keeps commitments, she will get it someday when the time is right.
she was very happy when she found out we could still be friends even if she wasnt a member. we taught her that heavenly father has a plan for us to be happy but he will never make us follow it and so we as missionaries will never make anyone follow it either. we just teach.
i absolutely love sunny and heeguen though. and their house is so cool! it is full of maps and warships and stuff. heeguen loves warships and he learned all the states from warship names haha. he loves geography and we spent a lot of time quizzing each other on capitals and stuff. their house really makes learning fun and i have been inspired! My kids are gonna be smart like heeguen and i am gonna have maps and stuff everywhere!
lets see...what else?
that is pretty much basically it. meeting with sunny was the highlight of the week thus far. she made us korean pizza called pachinke or something like that... yoo jin and didi probably know what it is. it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay good though.
did i mention that i love sunny!?
speaking of, how are my favorite koreans? I made new korean friends here but they arent yoo jin and didi. i miss them!
oh! does anyone have mr yanez this year!?!
ok that is it...sorry this is short but time is short and i cant take anymore brainwashing here...i know they are talking about the atomic bombs on the radio cuz i just heard bombing noises. funny how i dont understand...and it probably isnt brainwashing...but there is sad violin music playing now. i think i know this song...but i dont remember from there. some classical composer...maybe i heard it in a jane austen movie. i dont know. I want to take a music theory class when i go back to school.
bah. sunny`s house made me actually MISS school. what IS this!?!?!
ok i really have to go before the lady at the desk yells at me to get off!
love you all!
love,
sister halliday
ps...i know where the music is from now! Harkins! haha!
