Laura's letter this week:

SO, big surprise of transfers this week...we are now a companionship of three! So crazy, I was so sure I would be transferred out of here because I feel way too at home, so when we got the call Sister Moynihan and I were way shocked. Our new companion is Sister 길 의 진 and I absolutely love her. She is just the cutest Korean ever. So full of energy and happy. It will be a very nice change of pace since Sister Moynihan is on her last transfer and is wearing down a bit. However our apartment was definitely not made for three people so that will be very interesting... Also we thought this would be our area's last transfer and yet not only are there three of us sisters here now, but two elders were put back into our area again. So, we are trying to think of ways to revive the area, which has been a little dead to say the least as of lately.However, our investigator 노 지 손 is still going to get baptized this week so that is so great! Also, we are teaching a 12 year old girl named 모 수 연 and she is doing very well.. Originally her parents let us come over because of the gospel English program (where you teach English for 30 minutes and then gospel for 30 minutes) however as of lately her parents have not been there so we have been focusing more on the gospel. This past week she read 19 chapters of the Book of Mormon! So rad considering the Korean Book of Mormon is way hard to read and we have a hard time getting adults to let alone this 12 year old girl.
So disturbing thing of the week...we were out proselyting in this new street market type area we had never been to before, and as usual there was just tons of raw meat everywhere. Entire pigs cut long-ways in half just hanging and tons of cow...that was normal. Then all of the sudden my companion and I look over and see this familiar looking piece of meet for sale and we look at each other and go...is that a dog? Yes. It was a dog that had been frozen and then cut in half down the middle long-ways. The creepiest part was we weren't even fazed. It was just kind of weird. Too disturbing to send out a mass email, but anyone who wants to know, remind me when I get home to tell you how they kill the dogs. It is actually way sad.
Anyways, well I am so excited to start this new week in our little companionship of three! So fun! Hopefully we can find some more people to teach.
