Tonight's the night

60 Years: 환갑

It's time to party like it's 1956! The missions of Korea are celebrating a Hwangap (환갑), the 60th anniversary of the Church in Korea. A hwangap is the celebration of the completion of the 60-year lunar cycle.

There's going to be a huge celebration Friday night, Sept. 30, at Utah Valley University in Orem in the UCCU Events Center from 5 until 9 p.m. They expect there to be upwards of 5,000 people — it may be a couple of weeks before they get the kimchi smell out of there!

Anyway, it's going to be awesome!

General Conference throwback

I was really excited for General Conference because it IS rejuvenating for missionaries! It was also going to be cool because it was Sis. Green's first General Conference as a missionary. But then I remembered that it was also going to be my last one!

Be sure to watch the rest of General Conference this weekend. I just noticed that the Church website has something new: summaries of the conference talks! They've already posted those from the Women's Session!

Conference is going to be so cool — I guess it's not just missionaries that it's good for!

Mission memories: Another holiday tradition

Another one with Sis. Han before the egg dyeing incident, obviously. But only just.

This is from back in Daegu when Sis. Han and I were getting along — and before the incident with the egg dye!

Sometimes missionary work can get a little tedious.  Elders have their ties they can use to spice things up. Sisters don't have quite as many options!

An aid to re-entry

The first few weeks were the hardest. 

Happy Valentine's Day!
