Hello, hello! Just a quick email to say I made it--per instructions. No problems getting here, though it was sad to tell Sister Jensen goodbye at the airport. We're at the mission home for two nights--last night, then we'll head out tomorrow afternoon. There is a Korean sister--Sister Jo--who came in at the same time. They let us have seperate rooms, though--which I'm so releived (sp??) for--I'm still a bit sick, so I didn't keep her up coughing (the night before I left I was wondering what I could do about that with my companion--earplugs might be an odd gift for someone you just met). Our preparation day will be Thursday--so I'll be able to send a longer email tomorrow.
Korea doesn't feel very foreign--Europe felt more different than here does. Maybe because so much is so new here, like in the US. I just wish I could speak Korean. I keep praying to be able to open my mouth--I think that's the key to everything I want to do here. Hopefully it will start to come. Soon!
Lots and lots of love,
Carrie
