Kyleigh In Korea
mission update-week 54
It is getting super hot here in Korea...like its draining to just go outside.
We got to hike up a mountain for Zone Conference. It took 3 hours. Let's just say I haven't had the opportunity to exercise that much in a while. hehe! At Zone Conference they focused on Lehi's Vision. They asked us some good questions about where we feel like we are in Lehi's vision because it can relate well to our own lives. Our goal is to always be at the tree of life partaking of the fruit, but because we aren't perfect, sometimes we will find ourselves wandering in the mists or maybe even over in the great and spacious building. If so, we need to do what we can to get back to the iron rod and partake of the fruit of the tree of life.
Also got a text from the mission home this past week (they sent it to all the missionaries). A movie made for tv came out this past week here in Korea. It's about a foreign missionary who has an affair with a Korean mom who is having a hard time in life. They wanted to warn us in case anyone brings it up on the streets to us. They said it will either make it difficult for us to proselyte or it might be a blessing in disguise. I have yet to have anyone bring it up to me. Thank heavens! Cause that could get awkward real fast...
Not much to report from this week! We had some good times and some tough times, but we are just plugging away :) The Elders are struggling just like we are...they have like no investigators either. haha
Love you all!!!

from Kyleigh's companion:
Subject: Fwd: WEEK 3... the distractions are everywhere!
Well,
K-pop is everywhere. My brain cannot handle it, because I am not supposed to be listening or looking, but it is everywhere I look and everything I hear. It is very difficult to ignore it!
Speaking of k-pop, Koreans and their #fierce love of chicken. Seriously it is so fierce. I participated in the chicken love on my first split in Masan after Zone conference. (Picture attached).
Korean society slowly suffocating it's people. Slowly and yet very quickly. The oppression is real. There are also so many religions here that I feel like I am in the 1820s of upstate New York. There are so many religions and small churches and many have missionaries and hatred for our church. It is so real! #soreal
We had Zone Conference where we went to Busan and hiked a very tall mountain. It was like straight up 2.5 miles. I may never be the same after that experience. But it was fun because we stopped along the way and talked about the tree of life and everything. Also I saw a cat on the top of the mountain. A stinkin' cat. I don't know how I saw it. But we were listening to the speakers and I turned around and BOOM there was a cat.
Attached are pictures of me and a cat... another of me and SHINee (I found them finally, I hadn't seen them yet and I was so excited to finally find them.) Also I had my first taste of Banana Milk. It is delicious. Your homework for the week is to go to Youtube.com and search for Lee Min Ho Banana Milk commercial (Him and the blue refrigerator). Your life we will be so much better after viewing the greatness and you will get just a taste of the deliciousness that is Korea's Banana Milk.
It has been a rough week, but I am trying my best to stay positive. Love you all! Hope you have a great week! 🤓

I love this time of year when things look really green and the spring flowers are in bloom and it's not too hot outside.....{sorta not looking forward to the summer heat}..
