Party and Football Korean style

Anthony's dad, Allen, is a martial arts instructor. He can kill you with his pinky finger if he wanted to! (just kidding. But really). Anywho, Allen's Master (or teacher) is from Korea and he sent his son, Jae Young, to stay with Allen for a month. So this last week Anthony and I have gotten to know Jae Young. He is a really cool kid. He is learning English so fast, and he loves America. He is obsessed with pizza and marshmallows! In Korea they both are expensive to buy, so Jae Young thought America was great because pizza and marshmallows are so inexpensive here haha

It was Jae Young's birthday this week, so we threw him a birthday party. We had a pizza party (obviously!) and cake and presents. I guess in Korea they really value gifts, so Jae Young was so thrilled to get presents from everyone.








Anthony thought it would be fun to start a football game in the backyard. Jae Young never heard of football--they dont' play it in Korea--so Anthony and his brother taught him how to play. It was slow going at first, but Jae Young picked up on the rules really fast.

At the end of the night Anthony and I gave Jae Young a Book of Mormon in Korean. He was so touched by the gesture. We are hoping he reads it. You never know what will happen! He is flying back to Korea this week, but might come back to the States to go to high school. It's always good to plant seeds.
