Court Eats Dog!

October 8, 2008

last saturday, it happened, i had to eat dog... we went this place to eat with a recent convert and her parents, and i ordered some chicken, turns out that it was a whole chicken, feet and all in a pot with soup in it, and the chicken was stuffed with rice, it was all going well i like the stuff i ordered, then the recent convert handed me this plate with meat on it, naturally i said what is it? and she said kaygogi, which translates as dog meat. then she said i must eat it all, so i ate a little plate of dog last week. To tell you the truth it wasn't too terrible, but it was extraordinarily chewy. I got a picture of it, i will send home soon. Things here are good, transfers are next week, so i'll explain about my house and stuff next week when i know what is happening with transfers. As for general conference thats not until this weekend for us, and we will watch it at the church in my area, the missionaries from my zone will be there, and it will be fun. As for the jacket, they don't have the jackets i like here. So i have a request, can you send my gray and blue hollister zip up hoody? also in need more shows, they don't have good shoes here from what i understand, so can you go to christensens and get another pair of echo's size about 11, and i need shoes to wear around my apartment, since i can't wear my out side shoes, so while you are at christensens can you get a pair of globe castro shoes size 11, they are perfect for what i need.As of right now i'm not really homesick, the food is getting easier, i actually really enjoy some of it. I eat way to much here, i don't understand how i'm loosing weight. I don't have culture shock anymore to speak of, only when i have to eat weird food. I did get you package thank you very much, i'm am waiting to eat the stuffing until a special occasion, things are going well with the language, its tough, all around its the hardest in the world. I don't speak much but i'm starting to understand a little more. I'm glad angie and josh are moving back to logan, i've been thinking about them alot lately. Well i better go, tell stacey and grandpa and grandma thanks for there emails. i'll write more in depth next week about transfers and stuff.
love ya
