Hey for those of you that can come, just to let you know my
farewell is on the 24th at 9:00 at the chapel on Dalton Drive in
Springville, Utah. for those of you still on missions my email at home
will be <a class="Object" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1102_com_zimbra_email" tabindex="0">kilometers5@gmail.com</a>. Love you all!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been reflecting a lot on these last two years of my life and what they mean to me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
These
last two years of my life have been one of the hardest, tiring,
stressful years of my life, but I wouldn't change them for the world. I
never never sweat, bled or cried so much in my life, but every drop was
worth it. I have lost weight, precious time and even some of my English,
but all in order to find something else. Something better. My mission
has changed my life. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First off Korea. I will never
be able to look at the Korean flag without thinking of my wonderful time
here. At first it was hard learning a difficult language, adjusting to
such a different culture and becoming a missionary. I'm not gonna lie it
was hard. but going through that has made me a way better person, and
into the person that I needed to become. I love this country, culture,
food, language and people. Korea has a sacred place in my heart. I will
never forget Korea and the relationships I have made here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But
the biggest thing that happened on my mission was I was able to find my
Savior. Through all of the scripture study, prayers,experiences and
promptings I have come to know more of who Jesus Christ is. I know my
Savior lives that he loves me and everyone else with an indescribable
love. He suffered and died for all of our sins and made it possible that
we can all be resurrected and return back to our Heavenly Father.
Heavenly Father loves us and because He does he gave us the Book Of
Mormon and Modern day prophets to guide us. That book has given me so
much help in the hard times and joy in the good times. I know it is a
true book of God and we can get closer to God by reading that book. I
know that this church is true. I have no doubt about that. I love my
Savior and Redeemer. I Love this work and this church with all my heart
and I was glad to be able to serve a mission. I wouldn't have done it
any other way. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love you all!!</div>

We had a meeting today and we email now so here it is.;)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well
this week was a week like any other. We did not have very many lessons
planned when it started and it ended that way. It can be a little bit
frustrating sometimes because we don't have very many solid
investigators and no one that we meet on the street really wants to meet
us again, but they listen to us on the street when we talk to them for
the first time. but we are meeting a lot of really cool people and
seeing cool miracles every single day. I'm pretty sure these next couple
of weeks will have and see the most miracles that i have ever seen in
my life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The one investigator that we did meet
with this week was an interesting one. We meet him in his office(he is a
building security guard) and he likes to get on his computer when we
are with him, which makes him not focus very much. We are working on
getting him to come to the church and meeting us. He kept his commitment
to read in the Book of Mormon and read the introduction page and a
little into the testimonies at the front. He is a really sweet old man,
we just have to meet him in an environment that is more receptive to the
spirit. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My studying this week was studying
more about desire. The Joke in our house is that I am trunky, and i
think it is because I talk a ton about desires and I share lots of them
and want to know and ton, but also because the other elders like
watching me squirm realizing im coming home soon. :) but its ok im not
trunky and I know it Elder Miller knows it and God knows it so what else
really matters. My studying was also focused on Patience which turned
out to be a miracle later because I went on exchanges with Elder C., a
district leader in my zone from hawaii, and he wanted to be trained on
that same subject.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had a really good
exchange and we did lots of missionary work together. He is doing his
job of district leader very well. The district there is very close, they
are all very good friends, which sometimes can get in the way, but I
talked to Elder C.i a little bit about that. I don't see any huge
concerns with Elder C. or the district. Elder C. is a blessing to me. He
shared some of the things he has been going through with me, not in any
specifics but enough where i could understand. He is literally the
definition of love for me. This big huge Hawaiian teddy bear just loves
everyone. He has blessed my life these past 2 transfers. He is my
miracle for the week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so i will call you 9 am my time on monday, i will write you my testimony next week too!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love you lots</div>

<div>
This week was not bad at all. We didn't get to meet
any of our investigators for a sit down lesson this week . We did
however get to give our recent convert the priesthood this week. It was a
really sweet experience. We have passed him over to the ward really
well. Our young mens president is taking care of pretty much everything
he has got him started doing Duty to God and is starting on working on
getting him to the temple. He is doing really good and is participating
really well in sunday school and young mens. He loves going to church so
much, but not for us for actual church and the members there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
had a mission tour and Pres. Ringwood came and talked to us. He talked
about Moroni 10 and desires and mercy. It was super spiritual and it
gave me a lot of things to think about and ponder. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
study
this week was focused shifted gears at the end of the week because of
the Mission tour. At the beginning of the week my studies were just the
normal reading the Book of Mormon,Jesus the Christ and all of that good
stuff, but then it changed to learning more about mercy and desire. When
they talked a lot about that in mission tour it stuck out to me and
made me want to study it more. So i wrote down a lot more of my desires
this week and it made me grow more. Maybe only another inch, but hey
that is one more inch i needed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went on
exchanges this week with a district leader and it was pretty hard but
fun. He has a little bit of a problem not talking about the gospel when
he is talking to people on the street, he talks about his life before
alot. I noticed that and brought it up with him. We talked a little bit
about removing bits and pieces of the things that are holding you back
from serving with your all. We talked about burning the bridges back to
home and putting everything from your old life in a shoebox and pulling
out that shoebox after your mission and picking out the things you need
and leaving the things you dont in the box. He seemed to like that a
lot and he is going to make a list of the things that he can change and
start to change them. I liked the exchange, it gave me ways I can change
as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My miracle this week was that Elder
Miller and I became way more close this week. Nothing that Elder Miller
did, but there just seemed like there was a wall between us, but now
that wall has crumbled more and we are able to work alot better
together.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love Miles</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
also i may email 1 day later next week.</div>

This week was a pretty great. For investigators this week the only one that we met was Zaur, our middle eastern friend. We talked with him about who God is, prayer and the Book of Mormon. He was really interested in prayer. We are not really sure what his interest is but he is really open with us. He is not one of those normal Muslims that try and convert you, he has interest in the differences in Christianity. Then we got our recent convert all set up with the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and the ward gave him new scriptures and set him up for seminary. he still loves church and is ding good he is just super busy with test time. </div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Ok time for you to get jealous </div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
One cool story i read this week was the story of Lehonti and his demise. Amalickiha plays the role of Satan in this one. He tells Lehonti to come down from his safe point in his camp and come meet him. That was the mistake. He came down from the place he was protected at and fell into the trap eventually getting poisoned and having his enemy take over his army. We are the same we cannot come down, even an inch, of where we are safely living within the gospel standards. If we do Satan takes hold and kills us by degrees. I have made some new goals this week that will help me try not to come down at all and stay at the highest level of work and living possible.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
1. We went to the JSA and got a private tour from the military. We literally stepped in North Korea!! It was super intense and you could feel the tension in the air. We saw a couple North Korean guards</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
and had a great view of the north Korean propaganda city. It was SO cool! definitely a once in a lifetime experience.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
2. My recent convert who was baptized 2 weeks ago was confirmed this week and is doing super good. he is all set up to start seminary and get the priesthood soon! I was a little bit worried with him for a while because he wouldn't pick up the phone, but he is doing good!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
3. Time to get Jealous;) so you know the Piano guys right? 2 of their members served in Korea and they came to Korea for a tour. The did a fireside for our mission and it was super awesome. They are all super funny.It was cool that they came, but the cooler part was that I got to see all of the friends that I have made during my mission one last time, as well as a lot of the ward members from some of my other wards. Man I love the people I have served with and around and the people I have served. The best two were my recent convert from one of my other areas and the kid that I trained from New Zealand. the fireside was super spiritual, it is amazing how the right type of music can bring the spirit in the room in about 2 seconds. gotta love it;)</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Love you!!!!!</div>

Hey</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Sorry i was late i was meeting a really good friend for lunch:) see picture.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This week was a pretty great week for us. I felt like it was a little bit of spiritual warfare because we went from mission leadership council to actually doing the training, which ours went super well. It was a super spiritual meeting and we all did a good job at involving everyone and getting everyone to talk. Then we went from that to going on exchanges with the assistants and had a day break and then dived into General Conference. It was a very packed spiritual week this week.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
In the midst of that we managed to pick up a couple new investigators. One is from some middle eastern country whos name i have still not been able to pronounce right and the other is a amn who first wanted to know how they heck two foriegners could speak Korean so well. We met with him and he is pretty interested in what the Book of mormon is. he does not go to another church, but he has quite a bit of religious interest so he knows quite a bit about our church. They both look like good prospects to meet in the next couple of weeks.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
my studying this week have all almost been focused on what event was coming up next. I did alot of prep for general conference this week and it payed off. I think that this is the general conference where I have gotten the most revelation and more things stuck out to me. </div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
There is not much else that I feel like i need to say. Life is good, our zone is good, I have no concerns. Being a missionary is literally a huge miracle in my life. I love it and wouldnt change it for the world. </div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
We get to go on a sick tour of the DMZ on wednesday and I am pumped!! Love you lots!!!</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Have fun with the pics!!</div>

Hey!!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
It was a very sweet week this week. </div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
First off Elder Miller is super awesome to work with! He is from Orem/Hawaii. He is 1/2 Tonga so i get another hard working Polynesian companion. i love him lots and we work super hard together!! I'm glad that he gets to be my last companion on my mission.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
So good news! Our investigator was baptized this last week! It started out a little bit scary, because he didn't come to our meeting before church, then sacrament meeting then Sunday school, so we were freaking out that he wasn't going to come. He also wasn't answering his phone, but one of our members finally got in contact with him. So we got Elder Weight to come down and baptize him. It was super stressful. He came and his baptismal service went pretty smooth. It would have went better if he would have come to more of church, but hey whatever works. His parents didn't come to the baptism which was a little bit of a bummer, but we talked a little bit about missionary work so inviting his friends and family will come soon. our bishop was really strict about pictures and Elder Weight came a little late so we didn't get any in white pictures.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
We didn't get to meet with any of our investigators this week, they were all busy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
I read a ton of Jesus the Christ this week! I was trying to get it so I could read all the way through and get to the Crucifixion and Resurrection on the days of the week that they happened, but i ended up skipping earlier bits of the book in order to read the Easter week stories. Also I read the stories in the bible along with it. I love this Easter season and the chance we get to share it with everyone! I know my redeemer lives! He suffered for all of us and made it so we can live forever!! I love this gospel!!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
My miracle this week was honestly just working with Elder Miller. We have two different styles, but they both get the job done really well. Sometimes they don't mix very well together, but we are doing lots of fun work and we are looking at one of the busiest weeks of my mission this next week. I'm super excited for the next couple of weeks. Also getting a baptism on Easter:)</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Love you lots!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">First transfer calls.
Elder weight is leaving, but literally the next area over so superclose. I am
getting a new companion named Elder Miller. i have no idea who he is...</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">This week was a
pretty great week. Im really bummed that Elder Weight is leaving but i am
excited for Elder Miller to come as well. Some times changes are hard but for
the best. </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So </b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Gulim","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Gulim;">정윤서</span> is doing great, unfortunately he was not
baptized this last week, because he could not meet with us this last week, so
we couldn't do the baptismal interview or finish teaching him all of the
lessons. He came to church on Sunday and we finished the lessons completely and
he is all ready to go for next week. There is literally no way that he wont get
baptized next week. We have permission and all of the lessons done. Im excited
for him, but I think that this extra week will help him prepare a lot more and
not have his baptism rushed. All is well with him.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">We met a couple of new
investigators this week that hopefully will progress lots in the coming weeks.
We have a lot of potential to look forward to this transfer and Im excited for
Elder Miller to come here. We are going to hit the ground running.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I have been reading
Jesus the Christ and lining it up so i get to read the Eastern portion during
Easter so i am super excited for that. Also i have been reading in the Book of
Mormon and studying conference talks. I have also been thinking a lot about
questions and concerns I can bring with me to conference to get them answered.
I know they will be answered.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I went on exchanges
with an Elder in my zone who has big anger problems this week and it was kinda
rough. While we were on the street he let his anger get the best of him a lot.
I had to pull him away from a couple of people, because he was getting pretty
mad at them, but we talked more about it and some other things that i think he
needed to hear and it turned out pretty well. my love for him grew during this
exchange his is still the same old elder but i figured out how to deal with him
and help him a little bit more. It was an exchange that was really hard but I
actually really enjoyed.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">We went to kinda see
the DMZ again this week. We originally planned on going to the actually DMZ but
it was closed because of a forest fire, so we went to the Unification
Observatory instead. It was still super fun and we still saw propaganda city in
North Korea. it was super fun!</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Love you Lots!!!!
Miss you!!!!</b></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Hello!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had a pretty
great week this week! We had an investigator that was planned for being
baptized this week but we ran into some problems getting permission from
his parents. so we were not able to do it this week,but his parents
didn't say that he cant go to church they was just worried about what
their son was doing. Long story short the father came to the church and
talked with our amazing Young Mens president, and talked to his son some
more and he is scheduled to get baptized this next week! Super awesome
miracle! I was looking at him on Sunday and he fit in to our young mens
so well. He looks like he just belongs in the church! Im excited for
him!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our other investigator that was going to
be baptized has not answered his phone very much lately, he has been
grounded so it has been hard to meet him, hopefully he can get baptized
next month.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I read the awesome story of the
Anti Nephi Lehis burying their weapons the other day and a lot of things
came to my mind. In one of the verses it says that they buried the
weapons "deep" in the ground. I think they buried them deep for a
reason. They made it so they couldn't retrieve them again, even if they
wanted to. I think that is how we need to be with sin, when we throw our
sin away we need to throw away everything that comes with it, burying
them deep! Not ever going back to old ways or habits but putting them
away. That was a really cool insight to me, especially since I have been
thinking about keeping up mission habits and not falling into some of
my old ones, that is going to be one of my goals.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our
zone took a really big fall this week with progressing investigators
and baptismal dates. We had a couple people who were really solid drop
off because of parents or a college professor, who didn't like us. We
did see some awesome things happening in 이문. One of the Elders have a
baptismal date. Im glad that they can see the visible success, because
they all work really hard.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I ate Dog this week. Super good. different but super good. see attached picture. 2 words...korean...culture....:) it was really good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love you!</div>
<div>

Hello </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had a pretty fantastic week this week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our
high school investigator came to church this week and is looking really
nice to get baptized next week. He was fellow shipped really well and
fits in with the young men class really nicely. it is always a good sign
that when the members are all asking him about baptism and he takes it
really well and actually goes and tells people he is getting baptized.
We will meet him a couple times this week and finish up everything and
get him all prepared for the service, we shouldn't have any problems. He
is looking solid.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then our other investigator
with the baptismal date will have to have his date moved back. He did
not come to church because he went out of town and will not be able to
come next week so he will have to be moved to next month probably. kind
of a bummer, but he still looks good to get baptized the only problem is
getting parents permission and when he can get baptized. We will
continue to work with him and push him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My
studying this week has come out of chapter 5 in PMG doing several
different personal study activities and reading in the Book of Mormon.
One thing I learned is Moroni is so awesome. i already knew that but the
amount of trials and hard times he had to go through is amazing, and
still being firm in the faith and not denying Christ...he definitely
knew that it was true.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went on exchanges with
Elder Perry, our AP this week. It was a very good exchange. i think we
both learned a lot from each other. we talked a little bit about
correcting others and he answered a lot of my questions. it was good to
go on an exchange with him. We were talking to each other at the
Christmas Conference and we both decided, that we had never really
talked to each other or served around each other but we have a mutual
respect for each other. That was my miracle this week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love
you lots!!! Only 2 months left!! see you soon!! I dont remember playing
gangnam style 70 times before i left....but hey Hayden is a little
different.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love Miles</div>

Hello!!</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This week was a pretty decent week for Elder Weight and I. We definetly had some fun working together this week.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
First off for investigators we had our 15 year old investigator who is looking really solid to be baptized this month. We met with him and talked to him a little bit more about reading the scriptures and prayer, and talked a little bit more about what baptism really is. He came to church and had a great time! He was super happy and bubbly and talked to everyone! He really likes sunday school and young mens! We have some great fellowshippers that are doing well with him. We hope that he can be baptized on the 22nd. Then our 18 year old investigator is also doing well. We went and played soccer with him and the members loved him(because he was really good) We didnt get the chance to meet with him outside of that. We also have some fellowshippers that are working hard with him as well.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
My study this week was all in 3rd Nephi. It was good to read the teachings of Jesus Christ in that section. I kind of coupled that with a little bit of studying in the Christ like attributes to be like he is. I also read more in Chapter 5 in PMG and got alot of insights.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
My miracle this week was going to Mission Leadership Council. It honestly was like spiritual gunfire. There was so much spiritual information that it filled me to the brim and then some! Focusing on the Book of Mormon this month is going to be so much fun, so I am super excited. The STLs and us gave a super good training this wednesday. It was so spiritual and I hope it inspires the missionaries in our zone, I remember when i was a younger missionary and how much Zone Training meetings affected me. but that was a great first time experience.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Fun times!! Congrats Hayden!!!</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was a pretty fun week for Elder Weight and I. We met lots of fun and interesting people this week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
have a new investigator, but i have not met him yet because i was on
exchanges with Elder Zimmer when we had an appointment with them. My
exchange with Elder Zimmer went really well. He is a really interesting
person and definetly has a different style than I do. It was honestly
probably one of the hardest exchanges that I have ever done. He is doing
really well as a district leader so far, he is still trying to figure
things out a little bit. His first district meeting went well, it was a
little hard to understand, but it was his first one so he can go nowhere
but up! He really cares about people in his district and area, he just
struggles to understand them well. He is becoming a good District
Leader.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also met a really crazy guy that we
probably wont meet again. He was talking all about how he can see
spirits and the Book of Mormon was stolen from the Buddhist bible..Crazy
guy. Our district has met a lot of weird people and people who want to
bible bash lately, its kind of insane. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For my
studies this week I finished Helamen and started into 3rd Nephi. i cant
wait until Christ comes down, I actually have not read that in personal
study for a while so i'm looking forward to it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My
miracle this week is how hard our zone worked this week. We ended the
month with 9 dates but we were up to 12 at one point it was super cool.
This is a really hardworking zone and i love it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ask
me later about my 2nd hand shoe story its too long to type. Pretty much
a pair of shoes that i got as a gift fell apart as i was wearing
them....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love You!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Sorry we got on late and dont have much time.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This week has been super awesome! I was thinking as I was trying to fall asleep last night that I really have not been happier! I get to serve in my first area, I get to serve with Elder Weight who is super cool and we are already seeing lots of miracles in our area and in our zone. We have 10 baptismal dates in our zone this week and all of them are for March so hopefully if all of them go through we should have an explosive baptism filled month.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
For our investigators this week, We met with our 15 year old investigator with a baptismal date and taught him the Plan of Salvation through a puzzle. It was fun and we timed ourselves afterward to see how fast we could put it together. i gotta say that kid has the Plan of Salvation down! We ate some 육개장 together and that kinda bribed him to come to our lesson so we may have to keep doing that in the future.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
One of our 18 year old investigators also meet with us this Saturday and we had a fantastic lesson with him as well, teaching the same thing. he understood very well and accepted a baptismal date. Hopefully he will be baptized on the same day as our 15 year old on the 15th.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
The only bummer with both of them is they both didnt come to church after saying they were coming...</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
For studying this week I finished up Alma it was pretty good I didnt get really alot out of it but I have been having really good companionship study with Elder Weight it has been really nice.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
My miracle this week was even though it was holiday weekend we met SO many nice people literally every day we got food on the street and some very good potential investigators! I am loving life and loved to meet all of the people that I love in this ward again Great experience! On holidays there are no one on the streets so that is a miracle. We also had a mission conference where we got to see Meet the Mormons there! REALLY FUNNY!</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
As a Zone leader I just go on more exchanges, do Zone training meeting and other trainings, go to mission leadership meetings , stats and care for my zone.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Everything is doing great! Thanks for Everything!</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
LOVE YA!!!</div>

So i am now sitting next to Elder Weight and it is already a fun time. He is from Salem and went to Salem hill my sister school so it should be fun. It is a really surreal experience to be back in my first area again. There is a wave of memories coming back to me as I was walking down the street. I am really looking forward to the chance I get to serve here with Elder Weight. I think we will help us both grow alot as we get to serve more people here in this zone.</div>

Life in 춘천 was pretty normal. All of our lessons that came this week were from us saying goodbye to all of our investigators and less actives. There isnt really any new news for any of them.It was really sad to say goodbye to so many people I love but new experiences await!!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This week for studies I am in the exciting war bits of Alma. Captain Moroni always impresses me and is a great hero to look up to. One thing that really stood out to me this week was how much Captain Moroni "fortified" his people and cities. He knew the importance of arming his people in both the spiritual and physical ways. I drew a pretty cool picture of what i thought a fortified city would look like. Also a part that stuck out was how Lehonti was poisioned by degrees. satan does the same to us poisioning us slowly and slowly. If we dont catch it fast it can get bigger and bigger and eventually lead to deadly consequences.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
My miracle of this week honestly was being able to come back to my first area. It has been my dream to come back since I left. I am SOO excited to be back here and am able to be in a geat place to serve!</div>

<div>
Hello!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was not a bad
week at all. It was just a very normal week and we had a little bit of
success and Elder Bodan and I had a lot of fun together. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
started our week off with the Buddhist temple with our Chinese
investigator. It was tons of fun and he told us lots of stories. I think
i will have to study about Buddhism a little bit more, it is kind of
like mythology. could be fun to study, for fun i think. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We did not get to meet any of our investigators this week but we did get to meet with three new ones.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1.
a 40 year old from Canada who is getting married really soon. he is a
non practicing Catholic, and is very open with us. He knows a little bit
about our church and is will</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. A 30-ish year
old who lived in the Philippines for a while. He bought us lunch, we
showed him around the church and he even took us to his office and we
met all of his co workers and even his father. They all liked us a lot
and because they are all developers they were giving us advice on how to
improve the church. it was kind of funny. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. A
grandpa who we felt the spirit pretty strongly when we were in the
lesson with him. At first he wasnt really listening to us then we kinda
switched tactics a little bit and he started listening. It was a cool
switch. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All three of them have a lot of
potential to be really good investigators, but the big problem Elder
Bodan and I are facing is investigators not meeting us again...so we
will see what happens. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My studies this week
were alot focused on Alma talking to his sons. There are a lot of good
little tidbits in those couple of chapters and I pondered on them a lot.
Also I did a couple of PMG activities and wrote down my testimony and
did a 100 grateful things. That helped me a ton. Seeing my testimony on
my wall everyday strengthens me alot.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Elder
Bodan says my miracle is surviving with him as my companion for another
week but my real miracle this week is that I felt more prompted on where
to walk this week and by doing so we found a couple of new
investigators, so that was a plus for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love ya lots!!!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

This week we had a lot of planned lessons, a lot of them punked but we did get a few lessons in this week. <br />
First
we met with Sean, we taught him a little more about where the Book of
Mormon came from. He liked it and is reading so he is progressing the
only problem with him is he is always studying so he has no time. We ate
lunch with him and our food was really slow to come out so we had a
good talk about the gospel before the food came. IT was a pretty good
lesson, he just needs the time to meet with us more and come to church.<br />
Then
our Chinese investigator. He will actually go back to China in about 2
weeks so it is a little bit hard to get anywhere with him but he wants
to meet with us as much as he can before he leaves. We are actually
spending Pday with him today so it should be fun. We talked a little bit
last time how he went to Buddhist temples in China, so we showed him
some pictures of our temples and he really liked them a lot. We invited
him to church and even said there will be Chinese people there, but for
that reason he doesn't want to come to church. He says in would be
awkward. <br />
Lastly we have a couple of new investigators that we are
still trying to figure out and get to know.Some seem like they have
some good potential.<br />
I studied and focused a lot in Alma 32-34
this week. I love the comparison on Faith to trees and the Word to a
seed. Again this is my favorite missionary companionship of Alma and
Amulek preaching to the Zoramites and correcting some of their
behaviors like their method of Prayer. Also there is a couple verses in
chapter 33 that uses the wording " Faith unto Repentance" 4 times in 3
verses so that sounded important to me and added it to my study about
repentance. I felt the Spirit many time this week especially during
study.<br />
cool experience this week: I have had a lot on my mind
lately about coming home. I am honestly scared out of my mind to come
home. There are so many things looming over my head and I don't know how
I will get it all done. I thought about this for the last couple weeks
and lucky for me it was fast Sunday this last Sunday so I decided to
fast about it and also to get a blessing from my companion. Long story
short that was one of the sweetest moments I have ever been a part of. I
know that my companion spoke through the Holy Ghost and I received
answers to my prayers and fast. It wasn't the "how to solve my problems"
solution that I got, but just the confirming that it would be all
right. I definitely felt the spirit and felt like I got a hug from God.
Also this experience made me think a lot about those I really love and
those who have given me so much support.(You were definitely there;)
Thinking of them and how they have helped me was a great crutch that I
could lean on. Its been a rough couple of weeks probably the hardest of
my mission but the most worth it so far. I have cried because of hard
times, feelings I have felt and promptings I have received. I Love this
gospel so much.<br />
<div>
Thank you so much for all the support I Love you lots!!</div>

Another challenging but worth the work week. It seems
to me that it is getting harder and harder everyday. Elder Bodan and I
have been working hard but there is something that is holding us back
or keeping us from having more success. It a little bit hard but were
both pushing through it so were both doing good. We love each other and
having fun working with each other. I still love working here and it is a
great source of happiness but It can be so hard to see people reject
your message.<br />
There is not really anything new with our
investigators, almost everyone has stopped picking up the phone or has
become to busy to meet with us. WE did have a couple of lessons this
week with a few investigators but a lot of those kind of just turned
into the investigators asking questions and getting stuck on things like
where is the preexistence or they just couldn't understand the Tree of
Knowledge of good and evil. It was kind of frustrating this week with
the investigator pool. It has been kind of an empty couple of weeks
these last couple of weeks, we haven't found too many good people to
meet...but hey that may mean we are close and we will keep working!<br />
This
week for study time I read bits and pieces in Alma. I read the stories
of Ammon teaching King Lamoni and Aaron teaching King Lamoni's father.
Being in Alma, and seeing these great missionaries example makes me want
to be a better missionary and to see and experience the things they
have. I dug a little bit deeper and i figured out I have experienced a
good majority of what these Book of Mormon heroes have gone through. I
haven't been cast in prison, bound and starved for a couple days but I
have experienced the despair, heartache and some of the happiness and
miracles that they experienced. That was a cool thinking process that I
got to be a part of.<br />
<div>
I didnt really have a big-ish miracle this
week, but I just had little things to keep me going throughout the week.
A well placed joke by Elder Bodan or a man who would actually give me
more that 2 second on the street were all my miracles this week. Also
the other miracle is that a member from Taegu just moved into our ward
and she can kind of play the piano, so the ward took advantage and
called her to be the ward pianist, so I do not have to plunk out the
songs in sacrament meeting anymore. That was one stress lifted.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I
am still super excited for Nauvoo and doing some refting trips would be
fun! I would just love to hang out with family and friends too....but
there will be plenty of time for that.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Love you lots</div>

<div>
also
school stuff i dont know. For a major i want to pick something i enjoy
doing and i dont want to hate going to work every day for the rest of my
life. That internship i did for sports marketing was a blast, so i have
been thinking about doing that, but i dont really know anything about
it or what i want to be...i have no dreams or hopes as far as a career
or school other than do good. taking a korean class would be fun, but i
may just have to move on. i did get a letter sent to Grand. Turner.</div>

It was a hard week this week, and not very much happened. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One
day I felt like I needed to call our hospitalized investigator to see
if he picked up the phone and he did. He had just gotten out of the
hospital and charged his phone that morning. He had said that because
the hospital was boring he had been reading the Book of Mormon, which is
a miracle in itself because he went into the hospital because he was
going blind. He said he is about half way done with it and is praying
about it. The only bad part is that he goes into the hospital again
today( i think) to get another surgery. So he has said we can visit with
him next week hopefully.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We met with our
Pakistan investigator and he is a tough one. He has a lot of deep
questions and we are trying to teach him simply but his questions he
asks are not simple questions. Elder Bodan and I will talk about him
this more and think about dropping him, he just is not very prepared to
accept what we are saying.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
This week I got
to read one of my favorite stories in the scriptures, the story of Alma
meeting Amulek and both of them going and contending against Zeezrom. I
love these two missionaries and the way they work together to confound
Zeezrom. I loved it a lot! I found some cool points. I have also been
working on improving my prayers so I have been studying a little bit
about that as well. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Playing the piano this
week was in one word...laughable. In more ways than one. I found out a
couple days before the stake presidency was coming to visit us. That
made me a little bit nervous. Me playing was better than not having the
piano, but not by much.. I was glad I could laugh at myself and everyone
could laugh and forgive me..</div>
<div>

<div>
Im super excited to go to Nauvoo that will be cool!!!!!!</div>

<div>
It was a fun week for us out here. We had some let
downs and lots of little happy moments that made it a pretty interesting
week this week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One letdown this week was our
investigator who was in the hospital has not had any contact with us.
He is in a hospital where they will not let anyone but family visit and
his phone is turned off. So we honestly have no idea how he is doing. We
just have to wait until he comes out of the hospital.So we will just
have to wait on that one...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the bright side
we had one of our investigators come to his appointment with his two
friends. When we first looked at the situation Elder Bodan and i were
both kinda bummed because usually multiple people in one lesson is hard
and it doesn't end up being a lesson, but it turned out to be one of the
best lessons we have had together. They all went to the Catholic church
to go and study the scriptures and learn about God, but they said they
didn't like it because the people there just wanted to hang out and play
around. They said right in front of us that they don't think that it is
true. We shared the first lesson with them and then answered a lot of
their questions. They seemed to like our church a lot, so they will be
great investigators.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My study today was a lot
in Mosiah. I read and ponder alot about the conversion story of Alma
the Younger. thinking about that brought me back a little bit to
repentance. I found some cool stuff on it. I have also been studying the
Christlike Attributes more and focusing on applying them to my life. My
attribute this week was humility and I saw some blessings come from
striving to be more and more humble this week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My
miracle this week was that an investigator that we have been trying to
meet with since I got here came to church on Sunday. He slipped in late
and left right after so we didn't have a huge amount of time to talk to
him, but it was good to finally meet with him. We should be meeting with
him this week. I hope we do!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got a calling
in our ward this week.......I am the new ward pianist...it was pretty
awful this last sunday...but i will be practicing really hard this week.
good news is it gave me more of a desire to play piano and practice
again!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love you lots!!!</div>

It was kind of another week where the wheels are
turning but your not going anywhere. Those kind of weeks are definitely
bound to come. It was slow with investigators this week, our
investigator with the baptismal date went into the hospital again and
the hospital didn't allow us to visit him on the weekend so we will try
and visit again this week. We have been keeping in contact with him
talking through the phone but haven't seen him in person this next
week. All of the rest of our investigators either couldn't meet or
punked their appointments. We did pick up a new investigator, but im not
sure how much interest he really has in the church. I'm getting the
vibe that he just likes us and because we remind him of his sons he
wants to meet with us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so because it is new
years we make 떡만두국(dumpling soup) with the ward. I ate TONS!!! also cool
fact: If you make pretty dumplings later done the road you will have
pretty daughters....im pretty sure your gonna have some pretty
granddaughters. not being prideful or anything....;) also after I ate a
ton of that we had an appointment and he didnt listen to us and took us
to a resturaunt and bought us 순대국밥(pig intestine soup) Super good but I
was SOOO full!! I was keeping the food down with my chin. But I did
throw up this week once..on purpose. Elder Bodan and I did a food
challenge. the challenge is drinking 30 of these yogurt things. I
surpassed the mark...see picture.....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week
for study I was in the Book of Mormon, I read from Jacob and started a
little bit in Mosiah. Well, it is a lot easier to understand the
Allegory in Jacob 5 now. It took a little bit of hard studying, but i
got most of it down I think. Also something cool this week was I was
reading an older Liahona an there was a guy who asked pretty close to
the same question that I asked you last week about repentance. It
answered more of my question, but lets definitely talk about that more
later! That was a cool "mini" miracle this week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So
Trasfer calls also came. I am staying with Elder Bodan...no surprise.
The kid that replace me in my last here is coming to be Elder Batschi's
comp so I will talk to him tons!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of my
other miracles this week was that I get to stay with Elder Bodan again
for another transfer. Elder Bodan is a blast to be with and he teaches
me alot. I am also super excited to have Elder West come here so he can
tell me how my old area, recent convert and investigators are doing. I
am excited to see the miracles this next transfer!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love you lots!!!!!</div>

<div>
Hey!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First off im jealous of the Fiesta Bowl. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This
week was a week for me. but not because of the visible success we had
this week, actually there wasn't a huge amount of that. We met with our
investigator who is the walking hospital. He is having some struggles
with life even more lately. When we met him this week he told us
multiple times how he has had thoughts of suicide this week. We talked
to him a little bit about that and then Elder Bodan and I decided to
share the He is the gift video. He really liked that and it really set
the tone for the rest of the lesson. It set the tone so much that we
gave him a baptismal date and he accepted the day. The only problem with
that is because he is really sick, he cannot come to church easily and
to null the pain he turns to smoking and drinking. We will be continuing
to try and prepare him for baptism over the next coming week so he can
get baptized in January. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have another
college student who we met with, but he was just really sad that his dog
was in the hospital so he didnt listen to us much.He was just really
sad. Finally we also picked up a new investigator who, as Elder Bodan
tells me is golden. I have not met him before because I was on exchanges
when we had an appointment with him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this
week was a good study/pondering week for me and i have a couple
questions for you. I am reading in the Book of Mormon in 2 Nephi and I
have noticed that one of the patterns in the Isaiah chapter is
Repentance. I really felt this week that I need to understand the role
of repentance and how we use it better. not because I have some huge sin
in my life, but i feel like I will have to explain it and use it
better. Maybe I will just have to talk to you in person to make more
sense, but I will say it briefly. So.. we all repent and have to keep
repenting because we are human and make the same mistakes over and over
again. One part of repentance is feeling Godly sorrow,forsaking the sin
and asking for forgiveness through Prayer and maybe talking to your
bishop. so my first question would be when does the sin become something
you have to confess? I know you confess the big sins, but If i feel
Godly sorrow for commiting the sin and ask for forgiveness is that full
repentence or must there be more? Also because we are human we will
almost always make the same mistakes, therefore commiting the same sin
we just felt sorry for and promised not to do anymore. That is where the
infinite atonement comes in, because He suffered we get unlimited
second chance. We just have to STRIVE to be perfect. Because we always
are making the mistake over and over, we are never really forsaking the
sin. Sometimes after I make the same mistake again i get frustrated
because I question if I truly repented in the first place. so How do we
truly hate the sin and leave it behind us? As you can tell I had alot to
think about this week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So the reason I will
remember this week is because it was a great time to embrace the Spirit
of Christ, not Christmas. I dont know if I will ever have a really good
chance to do that again but I want to make it a part of my Christmas
every year and life every day. I Love this Gospel so much! It makes me
be a better person, man, missionary and future husband and father every
day! Transfer Calls is this week so we will see what happens. im pretty
sure im staying with Elder Bodan!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love ya Lots!!</div>

Merry Christmas!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kind of another slow
week. Not really the kind of week you want before Christmas, but i
firmly believe when people are rejecting you and you are trying your
hardest to get your goals but they are not coming is the point where you
are the closest to finding that prepared person that you need to find. I
hope that happens soon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We did pick up a new
investigator this week who is a teacher at a middle school. He does not
believe in any religion, but he does think that the christian churches
here in Korea are completely money orientated. Which is true. We talked
to him about how our church is not that way, but he got caught up some
little things. He knows about our Temples and General Conference. The
thing he couldn't get is why we have to spend so much money making the
temples big and beautiful and why do the people need to sit in big
expensive looking chairs in General Conference. He said it was a waste
because God would accept anything and you could give that money to help
the poor. We tried to explain that we want to give our best to God and
because it is the house of God we want to make it Beautiful for Him, but
he didn't really seem to get it. He is a really nice guy, He just wants
everything to be completely logical, but he is not confrontational at
all so it is good to talk to him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our other
investigator we met with is a literal walking hospital.. He is a pretty
solid and wants to get baptized he just cant because he is always in the
hospital and cant quit drinking. (two things that really shouldn't go
together) We went to his house and he lives in real bad conditions. He
eats really crappy, his house is NOT clean and he has no money to pay
for floor heat so it is freezing. He told us he would come to Church,
but he did not come.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Alot of our investigators promised to come to our Christmas Party but they did not show up...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
decided to read the Book of Mormon one more time cover to cover with
the remaining chunk of my mission and I am using a Study manual along
with it so i am getting new insights that I have never really thought of
before. I am also planning on focusing on a Christlike attribute every
week and study about that as well. I have my studying pretty well
planned out for the rest of my time and hopefully carry on after.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So
this week we had the Christmas party and I had the great pleasure of
dressing up as Jolly old Saint Nick and distribute candy and presents to
the kids. It was alot different than me doing it last year because i
can speak WAY more Korean than I could last year. My miracle comes from
seeing the kids. For one Korean kids are one of the cutest, but seeing
them as they received the presents I gave out. Their eyes were SO
bright. Makes me think and desire more to share the greatest gift of all
with everyone. I want to see more people's eyes that wide when they
receive the Gospel.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the true Church, True Gospel and He is the gift!! #sharethegift</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love You! </div>

<div>
Hello Family!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week
was one of those weeks that just feels like the tires are spinning and
you're not really going anywhere. But it wasn't all bad. I always love
the chance to get to go to the Temple, so that was a very needed
experience this week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Th investigators ran
kind of slow this week. When I first got here there was alot of
potential and people meeting. But now alot of them fell of the face of
the earth. I think maybe it was because they just liked Elder Smith, but
we still have a couple of solid investigators. We met with one of our
Chinese investigators this week and ate dinner with him. Being at the
restaurant made it a little bit hard to teach him but we talked to him a
little bit about why he believes in buddism. From the sound of it he
doesnt really believe he just goes to the temple because it is culture.
Also i dont see why he would not come to church. This last week he went
to Seoul so he couldnt make it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then our
investigator who had a baptismal date kind of dropped us...He is too
busy with tests and will go back to his hometown for school vacation so
he said that was the last time he could meet with us until March so that
nixes his date. We are planning on giving his number to the
missionaries in his hometown, maybe they can meet with him during
vacation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

We picked up 2 friends as
investigators both finished high school and with go to college here. One
is really good at English and the other is not. They are both really
cool kids. We went and ate with them and they were really surprised that
we could eat meat. We explained to them that we could eat meat and
talked bout the Book of Mormon with them. We also picked up an
investigator from Rwanda. He is decent at English and learning Korean
through English so it is a struggle for him. We are working with the
office to see if we have church materials in his language.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For
study this week one thing that I really liked was doing a PMG activity
of What do you want to say, who do you want to become and what is the
difference you want others to see in you after your mission is over. I
want to finish off this last quarter of my mission strong and do exactly
what the Lord will have me do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My miracle this
week was after the Temple we decided to go to the war museum. Through
walking around in the museum more than all of the tanks, planes and guns
my favorite part was learning about and loving the people I serve even
more. There were parts in the museum where I felt an extreme amount of
love for the Korean people. I love this country so much!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love ya Lots!!!</div>

How are you doing? This week was a fun but very cold week my fingers have almost fallen off a couple of times. We had the chance to meet with a couple of our investigators this week. 4 of them are progressing now. We have two Chinese investigators who we met with each of them individually. They both like to talk a lot, so sometimes it is difficult to stay on track with them but we successfully taught both of them. Then we also have another kid that has a baptismal date for the 3rd of next month. The only catch is that he will go back to his hometown after all of his tests are over so it will be hard to teach him everything before then. He told us this after he accepted the baptismal date. The last investigator that is progressing of ours is a 24 year old from Mongolia. We wanted to watch the Restoration video with him in Mongolian, but that is not one of the options so we watched it in Korean with English subtitles, and I think that worked okay. He definitely didn't understand all of it, but he got everything he needed to. We also picked up a New investigator from Pakistan, who is very bold in his comments but he is a good guy that really wants to know what is true. he just asks a ton of really hard questions, that sent us bouncing around trying to explain it. </div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13px;">
For studies this week I read a couple of general conference talks and got some really good insights from that. I also read bits and pieces of the Bible and the Book of Mormon, nothing really too big or anything to report. I also read in PMG about extending commitments. there was a section that stood out to me. It says that with everything we do it should have some type of invitation or commitment. I have always known that but it kind of just stuck out to me more. I will definitely work on that a little bit more this week.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 13px;">
One of my miracles this week was at church. They members really trust me a lot. They ask me lots of questions and call on me to say stuff in church. I guess I haven't really had that opportunity in a situation where i can understand what they are saying and say an intelligence answer, but I like it. Again I really love the members here. It is cool to be in a really small ward again where you can get to know people a lot better.</div>

Dear Family, <br />
<br /><div dir="ltr">
<div>
My new comp is Elder Trevor Bodan from Missouri. he
is super cool and funny I like him alot. He and I had a fun very first
experience together when he took the wrong train and we crossed the
river into the South mission. we got off at the very next stop got back
on and all was fine. I like him alot. My house mates are Elder Batschi
as you know and Elder Boyack, he is from Tuscon. (where exactly did we
live in Tuscon so I can tell him?)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well life
here in 춘천 is great! It is quite a bit different from my last ward but I
like it alot. There is a HUGE size difference. The ward here is very
nice and I like the area. It is a college town so it makes me think of
my days at BYU alot and makes me realize how much i miss it and how much
it is going to rock me going back home. Also one perk off that is
REALLY cheap food. I got one of my favorite spicy meat dishes for 3
dollars! Elder Bodan and my house are pretty nice guys, Im excited to
work with all of them. I think it will be a good run here. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As
far as investigators go I haven't met a ton of them yet. I met a really
cool Chinese guy. He seemed like a pretty good guy. We didnt have alot
of time to teach him because he had to go back to his apartment to sign
something, so I just got to introduce myself to him and say hi.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
also met another college aged student. WE taught him the Plan of
Salvation at kind of a rapid fire pace because we were running out of
time. It seemed like he understood it all pretty well. He had a couple
of questions that we answered and we gave him the pamphlet so he can
read that. Cool kid.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am told that there are alot of cool people here that have alot of potential so I am super pumped for that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For
studies this week I read a ton of Jesus the Christ paired with the
Bible. I have found that when I am just reading Jesus the Christ by its
self I tend to not focus as well because it is hard to understand, but
if i am reading it with the Bible it makes it easier. Also because it
was Thanksgiving i did the normal Thanksgiving thing of writing down and
studying gratitude. That was fun.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My miracle
is this Sunday was the Primary program here. I saw the primary program
in 금촌 with about 30 kids in it then the one in 춘천 with 3 kids in it.
Even though there were way less kids the Spirit was still as strong, the
same songs were song and there still was that screaming kid who sings
really loud. I wrote down in my notes that day that the church really is
the same everywhere whether you are in America, Korea or Zimbabwe, and
you can feel the Spirit in all of those places.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also i LOVE the ward members here already. They are SO nice and really happy people.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also
Recent convert update: He received the gift of the Holy Ghost and
apparently the Priesthood this last Sunday. He is being fellow shipped
really well there and the ward loves him! He is also helping the
missionaries there teach the other investigators I had there helping 2
of them get baptismal date!!! he is already starting to influence lots
of people!! Love it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love you!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tell the grandparent goodbye for me. They are going to have to give me their email and keep me posted on Africa!!</div>
<div>
