Hey family,
I'm alright. First off I'll tell you some of the things I've done and answer some of your questions that I didn't last time. So Korea is awesome. Only problem is it is blazing hot and very humid. But other than that it is pretty good. I've had some pretty good food. Nothing too crazy. Something kinda risky that I tried were these weird looking things inside these oysters. They were actually pretty good. Anyways, you asked if the Koreans are really short. But they're actually not that short. Some are pretty short, but most are just like regular height. Ammon, you asked "are there a lot of attractive women?" I'll just put it this way: I'm probably gonna marry a Korean woman. That answer your question? Anyways, yeah Korea is pretty awesome. And apparently the Koreans really love me. I guess a lot of them think I'm really good looking. Also I've got things like I look like I'm from Lord of the Rings, I look like Joseph Smith, and I've got a really good feeling about me. I take those all as compliments. Anyways, yeah the Koreans love me. My companion asks me how I do it. I don't know. Yeah, and I love the Koreans too. Anyways, yeah we've taught some people from other countries, also. Yesterday, we actually taught some guys from Sri Lanka. They were really cool. Also we're teaching some Filipinos and a Chinese man. So yeah. Anyways, cool I got the Regent's scholarship. Sweet. Also, do you know what I got on my AP tests? Anyways, so my troubles: I'm doing a little better. Anyways, I love you.
Also, some other things: We sleep on the ground. On these things called yos. Which are just soft mattress-type things. Yeah, we have a shower, so that's good. Don't have to go to the bath house. Also something cool that happened is this guy we met on a bus bought us like 60 something dollars of Baskin Robbins ice cream. It was pretty awesome. Anyways, gotta go. Have fun.
Love,

Hey family,
Sounds like you're doing well. I'm alright. So I'll tell you about the past few days. The plane ride was really long. Funny story: I was sitting next to this Korean man on the plane and he got drunk and he was like doing weird things to me. He was like opening and closing his fists and saying "strong" and power." And also he was like rubbing the back of my neck and grabbing my head. It was so weird. He had ordered a beer on the plane, which I don't know why they give out beers on planes. It's just stupid. Anyways, later he asked for another beer and I was like "oh great." But luckily he didn't do any more weird things to me. Anyways, so yeah that's a funny story. Also on the plane they played Iron Man 3, 42, and The Croods and we couldn't watch them which was extremely painful. When we got to Korea we rode to Daejeon and stayed at the mission home. We went to a bath house a couple times which was one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever done in my life. If you don't know what a bath house is, I would tell you to look it up but that probably wouldn't be a very good idea. Anyways, we stayed at the mission home for a couple days and then we were sent out to our areas. Mine is a place called Chamdan. My trainer is named Elder Driggs and he is from Colorado. When I first got there we had an appointment to go to. Anyways, I've had some pretty good food. I can't use chopsticks for the life of me, though. On Sunday, I had to give a short talk in sacrament meeting. In Korean. I just like introduced myself and bore my testimony. It went pretty well. Korea is awesome.

Off to Korea!
Hey family,
Sounds like you guys had a really fun time at the Briggs' cabin. And a fun time on Pioneer Day. We didn't really do anything for Pioneer Day here. We had In-field Orientation yesterday. It lasted almost all day. It was so long. Anyways, I'm having a good time. I'm super excited. I leave on Monday! Holy crap, I'm going to Korea! Anyways, so yeah, I'll be able to call you guys at the airport. I don't know when exactly but it'll probably be during our layover in San Francisco which is from like 6:30 to 10:45. So, I'd say, expect it to be sometime during then. Anyways, love you guys. Doing great. Sugohaseyo.
Love,
Elder Skyler Flint
P.S: We got our new name tags on Monday. They're freakin' sweet. I tried sending you a picture of mine (along with some other pictures) but the camera is being a piece of garbage and I don't know how to send pictures with it.
Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention. You got the package? Good. It cost like a little over $6 to send but I didn't know how to do the free thing. I just asked the mail people if I could send stuff home. And they just did it this way and made me pay. Pabos. Just kidding. Anyways, I don't think I need to send anything else back, so yeah. Monday!!!

안녕하새요 가족
안녕하새요 가족,
I'm doing really well. Thanks for the package. The cookies were delicious. This morning I got my travel plans so I am super excited. I actually got two travel plans so it was kind of confusing. One of them said that I was the travel leader and that we were stopping in LA. A couple other people in my district got that one too plus another. So we went to the travel office and found out the right one which was the other one. So thankfully our district will be together, all of us on the same flight. And I won't be travel leader, so that's a relief. Anyways, in my travel plan, on July 29th, we fly from Salt Lake at 5:35 AM to San Francisco. Then we fly from San Francisco at 10:45 AM on July 29th to Seoul. And we get to Seoul at 2:40 PM on July 30th. 28 hour plane ride, no biggie. We'll probably pass through time zones and stuff though, so it won't be as long. Anyways, I'll have a little bit of time on the plane.
Sounds like you guys are having fun with the bunnies. Babbity Rabbitry, that's awesome. That's a funny story about the cake, Logan. I'm sure it was just delicious. Sounds like you're having a fun time with the play, Ammon. Not sure what you're trying to say Dad. Is this it: Char chaness sumnikka? Meaning: Are you well? and Chonun Matt eemnida. Meaning: I am Matt. I think that's what you're trying to say (using middle form, that is). Anyways, yeah I'm doing well. That's awesome that you guys are going to the Brigg's cabin. That'll be fun. Yeah, I still have the same companion. I haven't heard anything about my VISA but I don't think VISAs are really a problem for Korea. Yeah, I've had some good devotionals. And yeah, I'm getting way excited to go to Korea. Less than 2 weeks! Anyways, I'm having a good time. Love you all!
