Elder Jeffry Belnap
Korea Seoul Mission
Late in the summer of 1975, while I was working at Temple Square in Landscape Architecture, my dad came to find me one day and present me with an envelope – The Mission Call! I would go to Seoul, South Korea in October. (“Where is that?” I asked myself). Of course , I was aware of Korea – had extended family that served in a war there. This became an unparalleled experience – driven by culture and and learning about life. The Video is 47 minutes – a photo journal!
