South Korea: March 2012

In March 2012, Jared had the opportunity to do some training for the National Guard in South Korea.  He was gone for almost a month.  It was frustrating for me because my phone at the time would shut off every time he would try and call.  I would go for days without talking to him.  It was frustrating for him because they could only use pay phones around the base and you had to have a specific calling card for each pay phone.

Seoul, South Korea
  On the boarder of North and South Korea is the DMZ (demilitarized zone).  It is a building that is guarded by both militaries.  The only communication between the two countries is between the guards on the North and South Korean side.

 Jared had a friend stationed in South Korea who had access to a car and told him about a Family Home Evening.  He asked his Chaplin if he could go off base to attend the FHE.  The Chaplin gave him permission to leave with three other friends (Larsen, Reddish, and Otis).  Kal (Larsen) and Jared were also able to do a session at the temple.
