Hello Family.
How are you doing?!? I remember the mini mission thing..i hated it
at the time...I also do remember my first MTC day. I was super shell
shocked and didnt really know what was going on. Now looking back on it
is SUPER FUNNY!! Question: Did Grandpa and Grandma sell the house or
renting it? Im excited for them to put in their mission papers!!
Well some news. I have been transfered. I am going to 금촌 (Gimcheon)
and being companions with 이중형 (Elder Lee) All I know about him is he has
been on his mission for 3 months, he is Korean and he speaks little to
no English. It is going to be a challenging transfer, but a fun one. I
am going to the other side of Korea and my area is very close to the
DMZ. I am told you can see North Korean people from the border, im going
on a pday. but not crossing the border, dont freak out ill be fine. I
am also going from a 30 member branch with 6 missionaries to a Giant
ward with 12 missionaries. Im really Really REALLYYYYY sad to leave but i
guess it is time to move on.
All of the other Elders are staying and The Sisters are both
leaving one is going to be in the same zone as me and the Korean sister
is going home because she is super sick, but she isnt being released she
will come back after 1 transfer.
I did all of my last stuff in Wonju because I knew I was leaving so there are a few pictures of that for you.
We had a baptism!!!!!!! The lady that I found took that step to
follow Christ. Elder Roskelley baptized her, but I got to stand in the
circle to give her the Gift of the Holy Ghost really cool experience.
Her service was very spiritual and I was very happy I was there.
We also had a Mission Tour with 2 zones, president and Elder Scott
D. Whiting from the Quorum of the Seventy. It was a very good meeting he
talked alot about NEphi and the qualities that set him apart fro the
rest of the world. He is a super funny man but SUPER STRICT. After the
meeting was over Elder Whiting wanted to interview some people so the
APs picked a few people, I was not one, but I was assigned by the APs to
push everyone out of our church and keep them quiet around the room
Elder Whiting was in and shuffle the people being interviewed in and
out. I was talking with Elder Whiting alot one on one. I can now say i
was a bouncer for a Seventy. kinda cool.
Well That was pretty much it this week. Well I am running out of time I gaoota go but LOVE YA LOTS!!!!!!!!!!
