Missionary Moment - Welcome to Korea

Our missionary son has been in Seoul, South Korea

for a few weeks now and he has already been 

introduced to a canned delicacy there

Silkworm Pupas.

You can see that they are being taken from the 

pop-top can and being scooped out with

the traditional Korean spoon.  

He said they chased them down with

a cola drink.

I think a friend just wanted to see if he would

eat this because they really do have wonderful food 

in Korea and Elder Chase says that the Koreans

pride themselves on their food.

Here he is (the missionary on the left with the glasses)  

enjoying a huge feast in someone's home.

It is customary for missionaries to eat whatever

unique and unusual foods are given to them

to honor their hosts.

Chase had the chance to travel on business

with his father to China and there he

ate duck tongue, dog, donkey and snake.

His Chinese host was so pleased that he didn't

turn his nose up at any of their traditional

meats and we felt it helped prepare Chase

for a mission to Korea.

(I am not sure what this means, but it was his subject heading on 

his email that included the picture of the feast and he started

his email with Welcome from Korea, so maybe that is what it means.)

We are so thrilled to have a son out serving our Savior
Jesus Christ, bringing the Good News to the world.
This is our third son to serve a two year mission
for the 
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Our oldest served in Argentina, our middle son served
in Seattle, Washington and now this one is in Seoul, Korea.

(It's a long ways from home!)

I will be posting with
Spiritual Sundays
