Here we are ready to head to the airport to the 2011 Mission Presidents' Seminar in Seoul, Korea!
Arriving in Korea ...
Our group - Donahoes, Richs, Watabes, Sister Wada, and the Albrechts ...
At the hotel - our luggage and welcoming gifts that were put in our room ....
On a shopping expedition, I saw this boots store and cowboy. It reminded me of my dad.
A couple in traditional dress in a market - they were kind enough to let me snap their picture.
Some of the entertainment we enjoyed at the first dinner.
Guess I am a Mental Health Advisor! My tag says I am!
Elder Ringwood is now in the 1st Presidency! He was surprised.
President and Sister Zinke of the Kobe Mission. They have been friends with Don and Kris for many years. It was great to meet them.
This was in the ice sculpture - you can tell it was a very fancy meal!
Here are the hotel workers setting up the huge Christmas tree. They didn't quite have it completed when we left.
View of the Seoul Tower from our hotel window.
Our doorman ...
The Korean Office staff choir sang for us at the final lunch.
Each day the table decorations changed to represent the seasons. This was Fall.
Baskin Robbins for a desert after a Korean meal!
Even the plants were decorated.
This is the Sisters' Session - note the beautiful table decor with presents at each place. The theme was "Your Happily Ever After" which was a talk given by President Uchtdorf.
These were kimono square wall decorations that were given to each of us. They are like the ones I have been making but they were quilted.
We were able to visit the temple in Seoul. It is beautiful but small.
The Ringwoods ...
The Gibsons ...
Some of the women ...
Getting ready for the group picture in front of the temple.
The Bairds and Wadas ...
View of Seoul from the tower where we went for a nice dinner. It revolves and so we were able to get a 360 degree look at the city. (It did make me a bit dizzy!)

The Evans from Sapporo Mission were our dinner companions.
Want to try some snail cream?
North Korea is very close ...
Chicago isn't!
Love seemed to be emphasized at the Tower - you could send letters and they would be postmarked with Love from the Seoul Tower.
Walking back down to the bus with the tower in the background.
The Administration Office of Korea. The staff treated us so well. We felt privileged to have been a part of this great seminar with such fantastic people!

Looks like it would be amazing to be with such wonderful people.
Mom, I bet you'd do a great job as a mental health advisor. If the counseling methods you've learned from listening to Dad on the phone don't work, you could try cinnamon rolls . . . or a good swat on the backside. Whatever works, right?
Mom, you look so beautiful in your red jacket! I love the pictures of you and Dad together- serving the Lord brings true joy. It's so fun to see what adventures you have when you travel. The Teddy Bear museum looks so fun too. Ty would be jealous of the Baskin Robbins- his favorite! The people of Korea looked so kind and welcoming. Mark, nice idea! :)
