Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't updated. I've barely spoke to my dad or grandma or anyone because things have been insane! We picked people up from the airport the entire weekend...and it has been insane.
Meeting people has been fun but stressful. I never realized how hard of a time I have with figuring out how to deal with everyone's personality. I think it's a bit more stressful because I'm 1 of only 2 drivers and I hate being the one who has to tell people where to go and when to be ready and whatnot. But it's okay, it will all be worked out soon. And I've already met some people I really get along with. Oh, and my team is awesome.
Yesterday, we began training. Right now, actually, I'm working on cold calls because it's a training I don't need to sit through (thanks to being here 2 weeks early! haha). Seriously though, I feel like I am going to learn so much. Yesterday alone, I found out more than I ever knew about North Korea. I can't wait to spread this information and educate people about the travesties. I love seeing the faces of the refugees and knowing who they are and knowing how what we are doing is truly powerful.
Honestly -- North Korea has PRISON CAMPS. TOTAL CONTROL PRISON CAMPS! Hello, how can we all sit around and say that we learned from the Holocaust and that we will never let it happen again but IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. Seriously, I'm so happy to know that I doing the most I can to bring an end to this travesty. It breaks my heart and honestly tears me apart inside.
I can't wait for tour to start.

This is the first I have been on the blog and it sounds as if you are having a grand time and learning a lot about Korea. It is truly a shame that people have to live in those conditions. I spoke with grandma yesterday and she said that grandpa is eating a little more although he is still saying crazy stuff We leave for Maryland on Thursday to celebrate Jimmy's parent's 65th anniversary. I am going down to see them when I return. I will let you know what I see when I am back. Keep up the good work we are so very prud of you. I too let out a cry of excitement when I saw the Hollywood sign for the first time. Have fun, make good friends and be safe. We both love you and pray for your safety and a good journey for you and all the crew. Love Aunt Kathy and Jimmy.
