A temple education

OK, I probably should have known it, but it took Sis. Clabby explaining it to me before I got it. We're not the only church with temples. I mean, I knew it, but I didn't know it, you know? I'm kind of embarrassed. Our LDS temples are different because of the priesthood and the ordinances. And, yes, because most of them have the statue of the Angel Moroni.

Who knew, right?

Anyway, Gyeongju is beautiful, even in winter. They say in spring and fall it's especially picturesque, and that the temple is amazing. I don't understand all the history, but this was the capital of one of the ancient kingdoms, so it's got some really cool historical stuff. It's awesome!

It was awesome to be with all the other missionaries, to see Sis. Bae and Sis. Miller and to be able to Skype home for a few minutes. Christmas in Korea was AMAZING!

A Christmas Miracle, or, REUNITED AT LAST!!!

I think Gyeongju will forever be my favorite place in the whole world! Yes, it's beautiful, historic and awesome, but the BEST part is: I. GOT. MY. LUGGAGE! I've spent waaay too many days on my mission without my luggage -- first, traveling halfway around the world one way, while my bags traveled the other direction. This time they decided to stay in Busan (it wasn't my fault! The APs were supposed to get it loaded onto the bus!).

It's going to be fun to see all the missionaries! Everyone from my MTC group will be here, and I'll see Sis. Bae again! I'm SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!
