This morning we went to the beautiful Seoul Korea Temple! We made it just in time for our session. Spencer and I got to be the witness couple! That was both of our first times serving in that way. The session was in Korean, so we had headsets. Most everyone in the session was American though so we fit right in! The temple itself is really small. The celestial room is really simple with only 1 sealing room coming off of it.
The outside of the temple doesn't match it's surroundings at all. It's in the middle of a part of town called Hongdae which looks very similar to Myeong Dong. Hongdae is full of restaurants, shopping alleys, and animal cafes from meerkats to raccoons to sheep. The temple is tucked away behind all the craziness. There are no flowers on the grounds. Instead, there are delicately shaped trees and bushes that make it unique and very different from what I've come to expect temple grounds to look like.
We had a great experience and are looking forward to going back soon! Apparently our district has a temple trip the first Saturday of each month with English sessions so we're excited to get to go with friends.
