This month we were happy to have our Area Medical and Mental Health Advisors and their wives visit from Tokyo - Elder and Sister Jarvis and Elder and Sister Brown. They were able to give missionaries wonderful advice on how to stay physically and emotionally healthy.

Happy Chusok!
Left to Right: Elders Mulcahy, Perriton, Brown, Sister Brown, me, Elder and Sister Avery, Elders Ha, Greene, Lyman.
Chusok is the 2nd most important holiday in Korea, next to Lunar New Year. It is the celebration of the Fall Harvest. Traditionally, everyone returns to their ancestral homes, pays homage to their ancestors and feasts together. In this modern age, families still honor the centuries-old tradition and gather together despite horrendous traffic restraints. It is delightful to see the beautiful native costumes that some don for the special occasion.
We (the Mission office and Elders) had our own little celebration feast to enjoy and try our hand at making some favorite Korean delicacies.

Food, glorious food! Eating on the floor, using chopsticks, exploring new tastes is such a great adventure, and a nice break in a long day of new missionary training.

Wow! What a dynamic group of new missionaries we received this week. We are so blessed!Sisters Lee Se Ri, Choi Yun Jo, Burgess and Elders Sumsion, Han Gi Seok, Stephens, Bulloch, Duckworth and Millard.

Early Dismissal
Oh, my aching heart! How we will miss these absolutely stellar missionaries! This was/is our most unusual transfer yet, with 5 missionaries departing two weeks early to accommodate the start of the new schoolyear. Our new arrivals won't arrive until September 2nd. In the meantime, things are a bit discombobulated!
Heading to catch the train to Seoul to begin the homeward journey.
Elder Adams' 21st birthday fell on the evening of our farewell dinner and testimony meeting. He's looking fine even with the accidental scalping during his last haircut!
