Called to Serve

Hi,
As Elder Cahoon's mom I finally decided to start a blog to help our many friends and family share in the experience of Aaron in Korea. It is my hope that anyone viewing this blog enjoys our effort.

Sept. 11, 2011

Hey mom!
Strange that Johnson is now out....Kaleb is next, dang. Wait, already? He JUST turned 19....of course, I suppose, so had I. Whatev's haha.
Anyway, yeah, I've been doing tons better since I got here. Yeah, our current branch doesn't have a whole lot going on either, but at least we don't LET that get to us. I dunno, it makes me feel better anyway.
P-Day casual stuff...well, I have a lot of shirts. My problem is pants....I go around in my gym shorts because my pants are HUGE on me now....and I've made a discovery....my pants are all too long on me. I realize I should have realized that sooner, but yeah....and my current pants are kinda loose on me (but a good loose, thankfully :D) my shirts need to be hemmed so I'm gonna do that once I get the money out of my account, so....thanks to all involved :D
Let's see...contact perscription should be fine, but I guess if you did mail that to me it would make it easier...it's on the box but still.
So this week is weird because it's the Korean Thanksgiving so everything is kinda shut down and we're not supposed to approach ANYONE until after tomorrow, so we're going back down to Busan for a party. And today is also our PDay because....I dunno, it's kinda weird. Yesterday we couldn't do much either so we just cleaned the apartment which I have pictures of so you can't ask me this time :P I especially want to show my bed, since you'll not BELIEVE this haha.
Yes, that's a picture of my companion sleeping, and some pictures of the fog out the window this morning. But yeah....the bed is basically a mat on the floor, and it's....pretty comfortable oddly enough. 4 years of sleeping on the floor on school trips has really helped train me for that haha.
Well, tell me how the new ward is....oh shoot I gotta tell President that my ward changed. Last month. I'll get on that haha. Who's in it again? It's pretty much the same isn't it? I know we got neither Josh and picked up Jenks, right? What else? Let me know.
What else? I guess there's not much more news. Oh, we had a baptism in a town called Hogye that we went to because that was my companion's last area and it was a lady he had worked with. But we actually missed the baptism because the missionary baptising her was LATE by like 40 minutes and the train we had to ride home on was leaving at the time the baptism was SCHEDULED to end. So....we missed the baptism unfortunately...but it was still really good.
That's about it for now. Stay tuned for updates. Stay safe, and thanks for all you've done for me, sincerely. I love you more than you realize.
Love,
Aaron
