Ben's Birthday!!!

Wednesday, August 26

I did not hear the numbers when Chris Wasden was reading off the elevation of our mountain or the distance we hiked today. I just know that it is steep and I had to catch my breath. The second picture is of our church building, but if you look behind it on the mountain you can see two orange cable cars towers. We hiked up to that level today where the cable car platform is. Our hike down was different than our hike up, going past the Buddhist temples. It is hard to see how steep the climb up/down is but you have to keep your eyes on the path so you don't fall/twist an ankle. 



  
If you look to the left and walk around that brick wall you will come to the front door to the mission home. We are standing in front of the sign on the church with the name of our church, which is in front of the window looking into the chapel, off the church parking lot. With Chris and with one of our assistants and one of our office elders who got up early to hike with Ben and us.




Ben had his birthday celebration with the new missionaries that just arrived the night before, along with the office elders and AP¹s. Ben went shopping on his own in Nampo, the market area. That is also the area where the new missionaries went out proselyting along with the trainers, before eating dinner at a restaurant together. It has been a busy week that started with transfers. Today the trainers were assigned to the new missionaries and we saw them off to their new areas. Tomorrow we have the zone leaders and sister training leaders for MLCM (Mission Leadership Council Meeting). As soon as we finish with that we will hustle Ben to the airport to travel to America for two months of the summer. He will come back to Korea with less than a week before school starts up again.
