Korea, Aquarium, And Ballets...Oh My

Hello hello friends!!
This week was crazy because it was transfer week, and I got to go on my visa trip to Korea again! So, we didn't have a ton of meetings this week sadly:(


For PDay this week, we went to the aquarium here in Vlad which was AMAZING! They had a dolphin show, and a walrus that did pushups and whistled. They also had a place where you could touch starfish and tunnels where the fish swim over your head. If any of you ever end up in Vlad, it's definitely a place worth visiting!


Korea was so much fun! I got to see sister Maccabee (my MTC companion) again! We visited the temple, and just walked around the streets of Korea. We walked around the university campus there, ate at a really good Korean BBQ place, and just had fun together. I even got to try a temple session in Russian! I understood enough, haha.


On Saturday, a member took us to see a ballet. It was really really good! We saw the Nutcracker. It was funny, because they changed the story a little bit. They changed the name of the main character from Clara to Masha, and Masha helped the Nutcracker get back together with the Sugar Plum princess. But it was all together still wonderful!


The last thing I want to talk about was church this Sunday. Sister Brockbank and I sat in on Young Women's and they were discussing personal progress. I have decided I want to complete personal progress in Russian while I'm here, and I am so excited for it and excited for the girls that are doing it! If they really put the effort into it, I know that they will be able to strengthen themselves and their families so much. 


I'm sorry again for the short email, but I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful week!
