Annyoung Haseyo!

Annyoung Haseyo! haha these past 2 weeks were great I got to do a lot of cool things and we have some awesome investigators! So for Mothers day I was able to call my family and talk with them, I didn't Skype because it was to much of problem so I just called! It was great to hear my families voices! so 2 weeks ago we meet up with one of our investigators on Buddha's birthday; and he took us to a Buddhist temple. so it was really interesting! I got to see a lot of neat things!! the place was packed with people and I stood out pretty bad! so I had a lot of people coming up to me and talking with me!

 but Korean is coming great! people are always amazed with how much Korean I can speak because most foreigners here can get by with English so its always great first talking to some one! and they freak out even more when I tell them I have been in Korea for only 3 months!! but things are going good here in Korea! of course Korea is a really hard place to serve but it is worth it! I feel blessed every morning to be able to serve here!

I am starting to become a Korean being here, I want to take on every bit of the culture an try my hardest to be Korean! the food here is probably the most exciting thing! but now the food feels normal to me!

This week we were able to go hiking for zone conference we went next to my last area and hiked an old castle/ military base. it was super cool I saw a lot of amazing things like Korean bees! Holy cow they are huge they are the size of a 10 normal bees put together! and we also got to see breath taking views of Seoul! but due to global warming!;) the air was all gross!

We had an interesting experience me and my companion were walking behind president and his ap's and they were talking to a group of hikers and one of them was drunk or something and as they were leaving he pulled out $100 and gave it to the ap's telling us to go buy some drinks! but the ap's tried refusing to accept it, but the man forced them to talk it! Korean culture is really nice, it is about sharing and sharing!

At the top of the hike by an old Castle! It was awesome! 

 

My new Companion "한창용  han chang young" !

so on the streets we have people constantly asking us if we want food and offer us free stuff all the time! well have a great week everyone love you all Elder G

I'm finally a "Real Missionary"!

So this week we finished the 12 week training program so I am a real missionary now! But we got transfer calls this week! Its quite an interesting situation, my new companion is a Korean!  The ward I am serving in now is his home ward! So I know his family! but the new area I'm going to is amazing the church used to be the biggest church in Asia it might still be the biggest I am not to sure! but the church is were all the mission conferences and big gatherings happen! so this next month Elder Cook is coming to my church for a mission conference! but the area I am serving is called 영등포( young deng po)- I have the hardest time with English- Korean! haha but this week was great we had stake conference which is my whole zone! So we spent Saturday and Sunday at the stake center! but the rest of the week was pretty much the same! Elder Payne left to Japan yesterday so we are in a three some right now with his companion, he is on his way to compete in another competition! I'm super excited to have a Korean companion maybe I might learn some Korean! love you all have a great week!

My New favorite food in the world! Hawaiian Bubble Fruit!



My Awesome friend who teaches us Korean Chess!

"Korean exerises path" it cures your eyes your ears your nose it does everything! Just like they say kimchee  cures cancer! haha

Happy Easter

So this week was great we got a new investigator. We teach him english for 30 mins and then 30 mins gospel! Things are going great with our korean chess investigator!  I have to be short today we are going to go eat lunch with Elder Paynes old investigator! But this week we celebrated Sister Hans Birthday by going to Ashleys ( nice american restrurant) and we took photos at some booth place!







Elder Payne had a competition this week. So we went to that on Saturday it was in Inchoen so we traveled a few hours on subway with some members and investigators and we watch him compete with all the worlds best gymnastics players! It was pretty cool I saw some famous korean people there and I almost got a photo with one of the guys but you can compare them to like Micheal Philps in America but here in Korea!





 He ended up losing so it was sad!  Have a great week everyone!
Elder Grossgebauer!

Bruno in Korea!!!!

Well the past 2 week were amazing! We got to watch conference on Saturday and Sunday! on Saturday we watched it only with our bishop and 2nd counselor and after we went out to dinner with all the missionaries and the sisters investigators! 

 

 

 

Two high school girls who are super funny to be around and they have plans to get baptized in June! Also we had a baptism last Saturday for another one of the sisters investigators! but last p-day we went to the Olympic park and walked around and took photos its right next to our area and the gym we go to for Elder Payne! But we also went to a big mall here and eat taco bell! ha-ha I miss my Mexican food! but the mall was connected to the Korean version of Disneyland!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So we walked around for a little bit and just checked things out!  Then we went to the gym and studied while Elder Payne practiced! He has an event this Saturday in Incheon! So we get to go to that with some members from our ward! but he also gets to go to Japan near the end of this month for a big comp. so we went and got a name tag that can be sowed on his uniform so that well be really cool!

 

 

 

 

 This last week I also got to experience a Korean bath house! it was super fun we got to relax in a sauna and hot tube for a couple hours! But things are going great here in Korea its a little difficult!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well today is my first day not wearing a suit so I feel like a real missionary wearing only a short sleeve shirt! Love you all have a great week!

Elder Grossgebauer!
