After staff meeting this week, we sisters went down town to the Lotte Hotel. They have a bazaar every year. All the embassies from other countries bring things like crafts or clothing and food to sell and part of the proceeds go to charities in Seoul. These beautiful Christmas trees were in the lobby.
This restaurant is just off the lobby. The view out the window is quite nice. Waterfalls coming down on the granite. The photo does not do it justice.
This elementary school choir performed. They were amazing!
Tuesday was another temple day for us. Here's a few of our favorite missionaries! Afterwards we visited our favorite taco place. Every time we go, we bring more people with us. Our elder from Scottsdale was so happy to hear about this place.
Wednesday was the day we got to go help make kimchi for the Korean Red Cross. Everyone gets masks, gloves, hair nets and a plastic bag to wear to protect your clothing from the sauce. It is super hot!
They had tons of cabbage to process.
Then it is taped up and loaded onto a truck and taken away to ferment for a while.
I got to go have bulgogi with some of our sisters! (It's fun to say but bibimbap is more fun to say)
And to top off the week, we had a baptism Friday evening. Sweet Grace is from China, studying in Seoul. She does not speak much Korean, so she has been attending the English Branch. Unfortunately, the missionaries cannot attend that branch since the building is located in the Seoul South Mission, but the members have loved making Grace feel welcome. The baptism was held in our mission so the missionaries were happy to be there!
Meanwhile, back in Tucson, it's El Tour de Tucson. The kiddos were out serving fruit and water to the bike riders just like their parents used to do when they were little. Looks like a beautiful day in Arizona!

These beautiful costumes from Kazakhstan caught my eye!
As did this T-shirt!

We also had two earthquakes this week. I thought we were out of the earthquake zone here, but apparently not. They were down south, but I felt both of them. I recognize that feeling!
