<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">Well this week has been good! We still have had a lot of cancelled appointments and people that are too busy to meet, but we got in contact with a less active that connected with Elder Han. He had never worked with a Korean missionary before. So we met him several times this week. We have read some scriptures with him and set goals to get him to come back to church. It is cool to see somebody who knows he can be doing better realize it and try to change! So he is planning on coming to church when he can, read a chapter from the book of Mormon every day, etc. Super exciting!</span><br />

It has been pretty hot and humid and rainy this week which makes talking to people a little harder, because there are less people outside and they want to talk less! But we have met some cool people this week! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
<br />Our companionship is pretty great this week. We get a long well. I think we have come to understand each other pretty well. I feel like the companionship has been a success this transfer :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
I feel like throughout life and throughout a mission I have come to realize how precious this gospel is. It changes everything. It brings a purpose to life. It expands our understanding. It turns us outward and upward. I owe everything to this gospel and my parents who planted it in my heart! </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">Well the highlight of the week might have been the "Mini MTC" on Sunday. It is kind of a long story but it was a little stressful and we got 8000 flyers a week before we had an orchestra concert thing at our church. So this past week we had to try to give out a bunch of flyers (mainly just to please our ward mission leader.) Anyway, we had the mini MTC after church and before the concert. So for like and hour and a half we trained the youth and then we went out with them and talked with people. The first part went pretty well. I talked about bearing testimony. And how it is important to bear sincere testimony. For example maybe you cannot say I know the Book of Mormon is true, but you can say I believe it is true, or you can say as I have gone to church and read the Book of Mormon I have learned a lot or felt peace in my life. Bearing honest testimony is important! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">And then I went out with the Priest Quorum president. He is going to be an amazing missionary! We got 4 numbers and as we started turning back I told him, let's bring somebody to the church to do a tour. So we started inviting people to come with us and an old came came. We gave a quick tour and he stayed for the concert! A cool miracle! Not to mention that it rained a lot in the morning and the evening but not at all during the activity!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
School is getting out so these next two weeks we should be able to meet with quite a few new people. The way things are looking is my last few weeks will mainly be finding and meeting people for the first time, which is a great way to end! haha</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
One thing I have felt through out my mission is that there are so many good people. They are striving to do what they think is best. Missionaries are the same. Companions are too. So often we get angry or frustrated or any other negative feeling because of differences. But the more we see peoples desires/ true self the more we understand them and love them! I have judged other missionaries for disobedience or focusing on things that I deem less important. But the older I get in the mission the more I just appreciate other missionaries and understand and love the people we meet and the people who reject us. <br clear="all" /><div>

Well this week was good! We are trying out a new-ish thing. Just editing the schedule a little. The whole new schedule was in part to help us get out earlier. But president still wanted us to do personal study and stuff before leaving. So he made a new rule that before 12 we have to be outside for 2 hours, just helps people get out of the house. We did that for a few days but because we have to do it after personal study and stuff we end up going out from like 10 to 12 which is one of the least effective times. So we talked with president and we are testing going out before doing personal study and work out. We wake up, plan, get ready and leave. So we are out from about 7:30 to 9:30. Which is when all the students are going to school and people are going to work. So it has been pretty fun and successful going out in the mornings. Plus you then can get a better personal study and work out in, so personally I am a fan!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
<div>
I like that, but we couldn't meet with almost anybody this week... We are just trying to find people to meet with us. But it is finals for almost all students right now so they are too busy to meet, so just before I leave we should be getting a fair amount of appointments! hahaha</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had two really cool Chinese guys we met and invited them to our basketball activity the next day and they both came. And they are both pretty dang good. (I still rock them don't worry... hahaha) We also met two Americans who play basketball at the part on Saturday. So we went and played with them and I got an elbow the the eye so I have a nice bruise on my eye! So I guess basketball is our best finding tool right now!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also had my last zone conference. We went to a mountain fortress thing. It was a good last zone conference! T<span style="font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;">hey had us all bring a rock and carry it with us. We stopped at a several different places and had some trainings. Then at the end we talked about leaving behind some of our burdens/mistakes. We unloaded our rocks. It was good. At first I felt it was a little childish but I did feel that God can help me overcome! So it was a good!</span> Plus in Korea you do a thing called "last words" So I was able to do that. It was pretty simple. I told about Mr. Davis' speech when he said to "choose consciously and deliberately to love" and how that has become very meaningful to me. But more than just choosing consciously and deliberately to love, choosing consciously and deliberately to so something has power. Choosing consciously and deliberately to have faith. Choosing consciously and deliberately to be effective, etc. So I just testified that as we consciously and deliberately choose to do those things God blesses us and fills any gap. It was pretty moving if I do say so myself! But I do believe that is really important! To choose to believe! Choose to improve. Etc.</div>

I really like both of my companions. The one that "needs help" I think is awesome. He is a little feminine, but I don't care. He is willing to work and is fun! It is also fun to be reunited with elder Hunsaker. This ward was recently combined. So like 3 wards combined so it feels american. More that 200 people come to church on Sundays is a huge building. And because they have so many people we have 2 ward mission leaders. One for investigators and one for less actives. The one who is over investigators is kind of scary... and them missionaries have felt some distrust from him and felt a lot of pressure. So we talked to president about some of the things he does and he said he should not do those things. So Elder Fleming and I talked with him on Sunday. It was super intense. He got a little frustrated but in the end we communicated well and ended positively. Then I went to SongMeanGyu's baptism! It was fun to be there and see my ward again! And I will go back down on Saturday for YoonHaeYoung's baptism! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span>

It was their ward conference so they had a super delicious meal and then those who wanted to stay went to the baptism. The talks were simple but powerful. How this path is not easy but if you go forward you will be made into the type of person God wants you to be. The bishop was really happy and thanked me and the other missionaries in the talk several times. So it was just good. :) </span></span><br />

We had transfer calls and I am getting transferred to AnYang! My new companion will be Elder Hunsaker again and elder Han. President wants me to help elder 한 with his attitude and efforts and stuff... So it should be an interesting transfer! I really do feel like God inspires president with companions and transfers, so I am excited for this last transfer! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">YoonHaeYoung will get baptized on the 18th. She also wants to get baptized with her son. So they both will get baptized! The husband said he still needs more time. Also we met with SongMeanGyu. He is the bishop's daughter's boyfriend. The bishops daughter is not super strong in the church. So when we met, Elder Carter (we were on exchanges) taught the last part of the lessons while I talked with her. She understands that this is a big responsibility for her. So I think we will proceed with the Baptism on the 11th. She is committed to improve, and she wants to strengthen each other. So for the next two weeks we will be coming back for baptisms!!! Pretty exciting right?</span><br />

Well I am so thankful to be serving here in Korea. As I start contemplating leaving I realize I do love here. The people, the culture, and I hope I can do something to stay connected to Korea!<br /><div>
This gospel, if accepted changes people's lives. And would change the world. I hope all will honestly consider our message and that my life can be committed to helping this world accept its message!<br /><div>

My week was good! We had interviews with president, and that whole day I did evaluations with missionaries which are good but not very fun. I went on exchanges with Elder Lee where we met a less active. He is kind of confrontational but enjoyed talking with us... So although he didn't like that his mom had us come over to talk to him, by the end we had to tell him we had to go. I hope I see him again! I think when we are passionate about things people open up! We talked about education and religion and stuff, but as we talk about things I was passionate he got involved in the conversation.</div>

윤하영 and 문성호 committed to start coming to church beginning next week! We had an awesome lesson with them. They listened to a lot of what I had to say (which is kind of surprising...) haha They even asked what their son has to do to get baptized. I was able to express my love for them and they were able to feel it (I think.) </div>

I have been reading Ether. I love the Brother of Jared. Elder Bednar talked about the stones turning to lights. How after seeing enough evidence of his faith he couldn't help but break through the veil. I loved that. So I am starting a new plan called "operation break the veil" Where I ask for gods help with specific things every day. I also commit to do things everyday. So as I do what I committed to God to do, God will bless me and I will eventually have enough evidence to break the veil! (well at least see the hand of god in my life... haha) So Operation Break the Veil. Objective- seeing the hand of God. Pretty exciting right? haha I actually am excited!</div>

There is a lady in our ward who is somewhat less active. She calls herself and her kids "fake" members... but I think she does have a testimony. She and her husband have been living separately. But they are getting back together and in the process he asked for a priesthood blessing and that was like 2 and a half weeks ago. The bishop and the other Elders went and gave a blessing, the Bishop said he should get baptized and in like 2 and a half weeks he got baptized! It was crazy... I was able to do the interview. I asked if he had ever committed a serious sin... and he said "yes" I was like oh shoot... we are going to have to cancel the baptism and I was scared... Anyway he went on and said that leaving his family was a serious sin. It was actually a very tender moment. And he got baptized yesterday! </span><br />

MoonSungHo and YoonHaeYoung and SongMeanGyu. So that was awesome! We were also able to skype you all which is always awesome and goes way too fast! And We went to the temple, for the last time in Korea. It was good as always! :) So overall just a good uplifting week! Plus I have started scheduling an hour a day planning what I will do you mom and dad and Matt when they come! lol</span><br />

I have been starting to read the conference talks from this last general conference. I really love the idea of being motivated by a love for God not by fear of punishment. I feel like I need to feel a greater love for Christ. Any ideas on how to increase a love for Christ?? Big question I know!!</div>

I have thought about happiness a lot as well! I think 7 is just a go to answer for me... hahaha. I don't think 10 is possible... Anyway and missionary work is not easy and there are always hard things. But there is a knowledge that I am doing what God wants me to do! So that is a deep satisfaction! And I agree when we let go and trust in God, the result, and the stress often go away!! The hard work does not thought hahaha</div>

We had a couple good lessons. The first was with MoonSungHo. His wife couldn't come so it was just him. We invited a return missionary, because he wanted to ask questions to a Korean Member. But he wanted an older member, closer to his age (age is really important in Korean) So it started with him being a little defensive or protective or something. But throughout the lesson the member just nailed it. Was realistic, played his role as a younger person well, and then just was able to answer questions. Anyway, he talked about how his parents said as long as your church isn't protestant christian it is okay! So how that is hard to change since it is deeply engraved in him... But he said he would pray at the end, and prayed for the strength to change, so that was pretty awesome!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, Segoe UI, Segoe WP, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Then we also had another meeting with SongMeanGyu, the bishops daughter's boyfriend. We talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and focused on repentance. Taught the law of chastity, word of wisdom, and law of tithing. So big lesson. We emphasized the temple and preparing for that. He understood all of the purposes and believes that they are real... he just feels it will be hard. So we just said try it out and see how it goes. We invited him to pray for strength and understanding. He agreed and said he will try! So I really hope he takes it seriously and it will strengthen his girlfriend as well! Pray for that!</div>

<br style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 15px;">First a simple blessing. We were taking the bus somewhere and I had to reply to some texts, so I did that before talking to anybody. But after you sit down for a little it makes it harder to talk to people. So I was like... well now I only have a few stops left... but I knew I had to talk. So I talked to the guy sitting in the row in front of me. He started talking, and he asked if I was serving in the GokBanJung ward. I was like, yeah! How did you know it was in GokBanJung? He said he used to come to English class but doesn't have time. So I said we can do a different English program, got his phone number and will hopefully meet. It was just cool because after not wanting to talk, I just forced myself to talk and the first guy knew our church, missionaries, and was pretty willing to meet!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 15px;">Next, we had 4 investigators at church! The first (I guess not technically an investigator) was kind of funny. This guy we all recognized, but couldn't place where we knew him walked into church. We said hi, but he just walked in an sat down. So I thought maybe he is a less active, or something. Anyway a member asked him why he came. He said to find out about the church. Then the member asked how he knew about it. He said "Elder Sabey</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif , serif , "emojifont";"><span style="font-size: 15px;">." I was like shoot man, I don't know who he is!! So we realized he was a guy we met on the street. He was a little weird and wrote down our number in a notebook. And that was like a month and a half ago. But he came to church! The other is the bishop's daughter's boyfriend. And the other two are the couple we are teaching! So it was a very busy day!!</span></span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 15px;">Also we had a mission tour with Elder Yamashita this week. He is a super energetic and fun person. I think he is my favorite of our area presidency.... (I'm not sure if I am allowed to say that...) Anyway, he emphasized obedience, and following missionary leaders, specifically our mission president. Understanding and following his vision for the mission. Just uplifting, fun, and meaningful.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 15px;">So my spiritual thought for the week is from a talk I read by Elder Gong. How in the church "we each grow through our imperfect participation." So although we are imperfect, God had given me power and authority. God promises he will work through our imperfection and that we through participating we will grow! That is how I feel in this work and in this church!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Fun fact about Korea. The school year ends in December and starts in January. So that is there big break. And since age is super important in Korea and the school system is the way it is, students will often tell you "I am a junior" when you ask their age. Since grade and age are so connected. So when they tell me I am a Senior, I say, "Oh you were born in 98?" So that is pretty fun.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Also skype next week. If it is possible can we do it around this time next week??</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Our investigators Well we have MoonSungHo, YoonHaeYoung. They are a couple that came to church. He went to UCLA in college and thinks very positively about Mormons, but has a lot of doubts about religion. The mom feels like she needs faith now, so started going to Catholic church, felt it wasn't great, so to learn English they came to English class, after a lot of convincing from the husband. But now she got super interested in our church and is pushing the husband. She is stopping drinking coffee and alcohol. So yeah that is awesome.</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
The bishop's daughter's boyfriend's name is SongMeanGyu. He is a sincere guy, buy the girlfriend is pretty less active (not technically but in her heart and beliefs.) But because of the parents he is taking the discussions. So we hope he will take it seriously, get an answer and help his girlfriend!</div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
Then we have James who moved yesterday to Canada...</div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
Then there is HaRam. He is a college student who wants to practice English. But he is pretty open to our message. </div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
NoHeYong was a professional soccer player that now is making a soccer academy. He is doing the English program as well.</div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
YoonSanHyup is a guy who came to Church after meeting him on the bus. We taught him the first lesson and he is very accepting, just busy.</div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
We met a guy yesterday from Rwanda who's name is John. He came to Church once and just had a lot of good questions.</div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
Those are the main ones that come to mind right now. WE have others that are harder to meet but yeah!</div>
<div style="color: #212121; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, Segoe UI, Segoe WP, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Companionship is good. Obviously some harder moments, but overall, no complaints. My Korean is fine. I feel like I can understand pretty well. But speaking is just not super natural. I can express my thoughts and things but just not easy! School doesn't end in May so this is just normal... hahaha</span></span></div>

She talks soooo much. So we mostly just listen. I have started using the chalk board to write down what we are going to cover so we stay more focused! But we couldn't do that so it was mainly just listening again. But with the little we did say we talked about why God does give commandments. She asked "do people change as quickly as I have when they meet with you?" and I said "yeah all the time.... in Brazil!" No that is a joke. I didn't say that. But she has changed how she thinks about our church a lot. So we just invited her like we have a lot to test it out! Come to church, stop drinking coffee and alcohol! So despite the little we said, and thanks to some inspired comments by my companion, she committed to do all of those things. Well this week she was sick... but next week she is definitely coming to church!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
I don't remember if I told you... but <span class="highlight" id="0.944073623001429" name="searchHitInReadingPane" style="background-color: #ffee94;">James</span> is moving to Canada next week. So we just are trying to set him up for that. He is trying to quite smoking and we are sending him Book of Mormon scriptures everyday. So our goal this week is just to make sure he will meet with the missionaries in Canada.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
I read some talks by Elder Holland that he gave to missionaries. So something I have been thinking about this week, is that this mission, and ultimately this church asks everything of us. God wants us to be fishers of men until the end of our lives. God wants us to work hard, be exactly obedient, and ultimately be perfect. The expectations are high, but the rewards are higher. I think I have felt that! I am often very tired, but the more I lose myself and work hard the more satisfied I am, and I can feel joy! of course I a far from perfection in anything, but honest striving brings joy!<br clear="all" /><div>
Hurrah for Israel!</div>

Which is great!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white;">I think the coolest thing that happened, is the guy we met that visited the temple in Seoul, (we call him</span><span style="background-color: yellow;"> </span></span><span class="currentHitHighlight" id="0.5496075435786869" name="searchHitInReadingPane" style="background-color: yellow; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">James</span><span style="color: #212121;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">)</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, Segoe UI, Segoe WP, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"> We met him again. We started teaching the restoration. He was super accepting of everything. And when we got to the Book of Mormon, he said, "I have been wanting to buy one so I can read it!" In my head I was like "WHAT???" So I naturally said to him, "Well we sell this for 20 dollars if you want one?" So we ate well that night! hahaha Jokes. So we gave him the Book of Mormon and talked about getting a testimony. He was excited and wanted to get a testimony himself. So then we invited him to church. He responded all excited "I can go to church with you?!" We said "of course" and he came on Sunday! He thought it was a little different and strange but good! So pray for him! </span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #212121;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, Segoe UI, Segoe WP, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Then another great lesson was with the couple we are teaching. They are currently more intellectually interested and say once they are done learning the doctrine they will come to church and stuff. So we felt we should go through the lessons fast. They also asked what a real Mormon lifestyle looks like. So we combined all of the forth and fifth lesson and wrote all the commandments and stuff on the board and talked about how these things define a Mormon life style. So now we have covered almost all of the material and can just focus on getting them to test it out and come to know of the truthfulness themselves!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Plus fun thing... today we have a mission 5k (I may or may not die...) and the kickball so that is exciting!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Anyway spiritual thought for the day. God blesses us to meet people who we can help, love, or learn from. So our job is to not judge, talk to people, and love them! Then you come to meet a lot of cool people and love them whether or not they accept the gospel! And I think this isn't just a thing for missionaries. It is a life long principle!</div>

I went with Elder Lee from Hawaii. It was probably one of the coolest few hours of my mission. First I was on a bus going to the exchange. A lady sat next to me. I talked with her and she was going to America in a few months, so I told her about our English program and set an appointment. I think that was the first time I set an appointment while first meeting with somebody. And then we were walking a saw a guy smoking. We said hi, and he stopped and talked to us. He asked us about our 3 levels of heaven and actually seemed to know a fair amount. So we gave him a Book of Mormon and a plan of salvation pamphlet. He saw our phone number and confirmed that he could call it. I said it was ours, but I figured he wouldn't call so I asked for his phone number... and he gave it to me. (That never happens. If they have your phone number that won't give theirs.) Then we went like 20 feet forward. There was a tennis court with a couple guys playing. We stopped for a second and watched. I said wow you're good! And one of them called us down. So we went down and talked with him. We gave him a Book of Mormon. He said he wanted to read some at home, so he can see how he feels. Because more than the contents, the feeling is important. I was like, "yes! you are right!" And then he asked for our phone number. We gave him it. But again we figured we should ask for his phone number and surprise surprise, he gave it to me! At this time we had to go to meet a guy I met on the street who didn't seem super interested but agreed to meet again. We met with him and he asked about the word of wisdom, temples, etc. He had even gone to the temple in Seoul to check it out, but wasn't able to go it. I was just kind of shocked that he knew a lot about our church and was interesting in understanding a lot more. So it was just a crazy few hours. </span></span></span><br />

And not only stayed for the full 3 hours, he also stayed for choir practice after church, even though he didn't sing! </span></span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Investigators-- there isn't anything super exciting to share. I think people are progressing slowly but surely! The family, who father is a little more skeptical- the father felt bad for asking a bunch of questions and showing his doubts, and then he got mad at his son in English class, so he apologized and promised he would have a more open mind. I think he is opening up!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

English classes are fun. I normally teach kids. So I just made stories with them in English. We make up characters and go around in a circle making stories. It is fun! P-day, we normally go with other missionaries and do something athletic or a tourist thing, or just rest at the house. Today we are going to do a combination of the first two! My comp is awesome! He isn't amazing at Korean but is faithful and obedient, so that is way more important. My zone is great. I think we have an amazing set of missionaries, but we don't have many baptismal dates and investigators it seems... So we will see how it goes. My sense of purpose... I haven't really thought about it. I think I stay pretty focused on the work which seems to say I have a sense of purpose haha What did you feel your sense of purpose was on your mission?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

However maybe the best moment this week was a phone call I got last night. There is one sisters team that is struggling with talking to people a little bit. I set up an activity where they can go on exchanges with other sisters and try different styles of proselyting. Anyway, they called me yesterday. And the trainer said the greenie "caught fire". And the greenie told me she got 15 pamphlets out in an hour. And the trainer asked to do the activity again! It was just a great call :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
So spiritual thought for the week, God does help and is involved in this work. He will not force people to accept the gospel or anything, but he cares about how we feel and wants to bless us in any way he can! </div>

It was good. Definitely my favorite part was the AP's did a role play thing of different proselyting situations, once with Americans in English and then with Koreans in Korean. So the Koreans just had to copy everything the Americans did. So they would always pause in awkward positions with funny faces and the Koreans had to copy them! It was pretty funny, but at the same time showed how talking to people should be more natural and fun! We talked about problem solving. How in talking with people, teaching, learning Korean, we need to be involved in the process of problem solving. thinking about how we can improve. Why things do work or don't work, and just solve our problems.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
We also had a BYU professor talk to us about religions in Korea. It felt like I was back at BYU again. His lecture was super interesting, talking mainly about Confucianism and Shamanism and how 100% of Koreans still practice those in some way. His whole point in the end was how all of these different beliefs do things that we can connect with and build on, like prayer, honoring and doing things for ancestors, caring about family, having order by seniority (like high counsels) etc. Super interesting. I don't know how much it will really improve missionary work, but I do think that it helps me understand Korea a little better! And was fascinating!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div>
<span style="color: #212121;">Sad news is that 2 of the people who had baptismal dates aren't really responding to our texts and stuff right now :( So we will see how that goes. But the family we are teaching seems to be doing awesome.</span> <span class="contextualExtensionHighlight ms-font-color-themePrimary ms-border-color-themePrimary ident_1586_1726" role="button" style="border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 120, 215); cursor: pointer;" tabindex="0">They came on Saturday morning for conference... but sadly the electricity in the church wasn't working completely, so there was no internet</span><span class="contextualExtensionHighlight ms-font-color-themePrimary ms-border-color-themePrimary ident_1586_1726" role="button" style="border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0 , 120 , 215); color: #0078d7; cursor: pointer;" tabindex="0">.</span><span style="color: #212121;"> So all the members went home and watched at their house, so our investigators had to go home as well. But they came! We taught them with the relief society president this week. It was good. They have so many thoughts and questions about priesthood, women, sexism, etc. but are very willing to listen to our thoughts and are accepting. </span></div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
Conference was amazing. Maybe it is just that I am a missionary, but I really felt like every talk was amazing. My favorites were Elder Uchtdorfs "perfect love casteth out all fear" and Elder Christofferson's "the voice of warning." Any other favorites?</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Highlight of the week was definitely meeting with our bishop's daughters and her boyfriend. So just some background, our bishop is a little scary and intimidating... and his wife is kind of similar... The daughter is less active, and I think pretty much what happened is the parents said, "if you want to date our daughter, you have to take the lessons and come to church." So we met with him once a little while ago and just got to know him. Figured out why he was meeting/if there was any real interest, but we didn't teach a lesson, so we started the lessons this week. The lesson went for like an hour and a half or so, with the daughter talking for 20 or 30 minutes about why she is less active and she was awesome at helping explain our beliefs. I felt like we connected a little which is awesome. Ultimately we explained the goal of baptism and gave him a baptismal goal in two months. It was just an awesome lesson, but on top of that the next day they came to gospel principles class (another first) and he found a picture of baptism in the book and in the middle of the class showed it to me across the table. It was super cute and awesome!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
And a small miracle we originally had a lesson right after that one planned so we planned to teach relatively quickly, but work came up so he cancelled. At first I was of course a little disappointed but after the lesson with the bishop's daughter and her boyfriend, I felt like God's hand was involved, and gave us the time we needed for the lesson!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
<br clear="all" /><div>
So a sister in our district took too much medicine and had a reaction and was throwing up a ton. She had to go to the hospital to get her blood tested and I helped a little. She called the next day and said the results came back and that she was going home... Long story short, on Saturday, she gave us a note... "April Fools" It was pretty funny. She was trying to get me back for a time when we played "Bang" and I convinced her to kill another sister missionary instead of me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am meeting with a guy from China, but yesterday we were supposed to meet and he didn't come or answer our calls... lame. He has a baptismal date... so hopefully things will work out! Yeah we got a new investigator. We just found him in our phone. Mainly English interest. But as we talked we found that he was willing to talk about the gospel and stuff! It was a great meeting!<div>
My companion is just is willing to listen well, obedient, and hard working. So that is awesome! My zone is good! I think we have some amazing missionaries! The mission I think is the best is has been! I think we are more focused on what really matters. On finding people and talking to everybody despite the success or rejection. So I think it is headed in the right direction!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well Spiritual thought for the week... I like how the Nephites take week cities and build those cities up to become strongholds, to the extent that people can not enter besides through the gate. I think that is super cool idea for individuals. If we can build our defenses to our weaknesses so high that it can only come in through our conscious mind, we will win the battle so much more easily! </div>
<div>
I love you all!</div>

I am so thankful for all that she has done for me! So a few memories. I remember one time when I kind of was a little mean to mom and she just stopped and said "what's going on, this doesn't seem like you." or something like that. I just appreciated that she assumed the best of me and was calm and helped me learn! I remember coming home everyday to mom asking me how my day was, and although my response was normally "fine." She was always there wanting me to talk! (sorry mom) I remember eye contact, meditation, workouts, first things first, etc. The great lessons mom taught us!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
I don't know what I can do or say to thank mom for all that she has done for me. I know one of the best ways is to be working hard here in Korea. So I guess I will just tell a few of the awesome things that happened this week! But know Mom that my belief, my desire to serve a mission, and all the blessings in my life are because of you and Dad. I am truly eternally grateful and eternally indebted!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
We are all doing well! My companion is awesome! Language is okay, but he works super hard and is so faithful I love it! My zone is great. We have a bunch of amazing missionaries! I feel like I have no worries! How was missionary work in India? Spring...There are a lot of Cherry blossoms, but it will still be little bit till they start coming out!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
So this week we met Brother <span class="currentHitHighlight" id="0.8885132728896641" name="searchHitInReadingPane" style="background-color: #d82300; color: white;">Daniel</span> again. We talked about giving time to both sides. I talked about a movie I watched in French and Italian Cinema and about a scene I wrote a paper one, about this girl who rejects the modern boy and culture for the old. My companion told about another less active he worked with. Brother <span class="highlight" id="0.3973183010464234" name="searchHitInReadingPane" style="background-color: #ffee94;">Daniel</span> opened up a little and talked about how maybe it was coming to Korea that started the whole thing, because there is no connection to a community. He feels isolated. So we asked him what he would be willing to do and he committed to start praying every day again. So that was just awesome!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Then we met with MoonSungHo and his family. They had a lot of questions but when we talked about Joseph Smith and how our goal is to help people get answers to their prayers. She was kind of excited by the idea that she could get an answer as well! So that was exciting.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
Then we met with our Chinese investigator and he doesn't have much religious background. So he is pretty open to everything. Anyway, we gave him a baptismal date and he is pretty open to it! So this week was just full of miracles! :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
So my spiritual thought is simple. Like Dad emailed me this week, God is leading this work. Yesterday I had a meeting with the stake presidency and our mission presidency, and I thought it was in a different building. We ended up leaving early, and I randomly checked the text about the meeting and realized I was going to the wrong place. Had to rush to turn around and go back to the subway and get going to where I needed to. The timing was perfect on everything with buses and everything. So I was only 8 minutes late! It really was a blessing! And we met 2 cool people on the subway while we were going to the wrong place! God is involved and leading this work!! Even when I am stupid and don't read a text completely! haha</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

His mom is Taiwanese. Also we have two new new elders in our house. Elder Lam from Hong Kong and Elder Carter from Layton Utah. Plus two of the missionaries near here lived in China for several years, so we have a bunch of people that speak Chinese a little bit. I think God wants us to baptize a lot of Chinese people in this zone! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">There are a lot of chinese people in Korea and I do think they are more willing to talk! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">haha </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>

But as I looked at all the people in our zone now, I feel like there is nobody we need to worry about. I think they are all super solid! I am excited for this transfer! My companion works hard and is obedient!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #212121;">Well funny story for this week. On the bus I met these two guys that were about my age. Before they got off I got one of their phone numbers. I texted him just a little and he said his friend wanted to get to know me. So of course I assumed it was the other guy on the bus... So he sent me the phone number. Ultimately I figured out it might be a girl, but I was never sure and I felt awkward asking either one. </span><span class="contextualExtensionHighlight ms-font-color-themePrimary ms-border-color-themePrimary ident_1062_1122" role="button" style="border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 120, 215); cursor: pointer;" tabindex="0">So I just scheduled an appointment and it was indeed a girl.</span> <span style="color: #212121;">So we just met at a coffee shop. I made sure we just paid for ourselves and we just introduce our English program and got to know her. I think she mainly wanted foreign friends/maybe a boyfriend... but I think she realized that was not happening! Awkward but fun experience! I think when people realize what you believe and what type of person you are, they normally will respect and mold their behavior to match yours! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="color: #212121;"><br clear="all" /></span><div style="color: #212121;">
Other than that, we had a lot of goodbyes for Elder Olson at the beginning of the week, and a fair amount of cancelled appointments at the end! I am trying to make studies more effective for me and my companion, so I am making a study plan for Korean/teaching. All that I am doing is trying to connect all the studies for my companion by learning words that he can use in a lot of roleplays that we do in companion study and teach in ways he planned in Personal study. So hopefully things will all start to connect a little! We are starting over with our teaching improvement program for our mission and just doing it the way it should be done! I really do enjoy teaching and educational ideas/theories of learning. I don't know a lot, but like it! I have been teaching little kids in English class, and I really enjoy it. It is exhausting, but fun. I do think I want to do something with education in my life!</div>

Anyway, as I have been studying the Book of moron lately, there is one thought I have seen a lot. In order to repent people have to be willing to do a lot! Whether it is giving up their kingdom, changing their entire life's beliefs, dying instead of fighting, etc. they have to get to the point of saying I will do whatever it takes. Then God will help them repent/change/gain a testimony, in normally a much easier way than they imagined! I love that. </div>

<span style="color: #212121;">Happy Birthday!!! </span><br />
<div style="color: #212121;">
Memories of Rachel... One- when I broke her pinky and we thought it wasn't broken... hahaha</div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
two- I remember one of my first days in high school eating chipotle with her! She just made me feel special! :)</div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
three- I remember going hiking and Rachel and I not loving it like everybody else! So one time when we went to Snow mass, we made our camp site into different rooms to a house!</div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
four- I remember her great singing voice and violin skills!</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #212121;">five- Army champion and star!</span><br />
<div style="color: #212121;">
Anyway, Rachel I love you!</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #212121;">This week was a good week! There were no break through's with investigators. But we just keep going and staying busy! We met with several super cool people this week. One is a less active from Guatemala. He is a scientist. And just has had a lot of doubts. He questions the feelings he felt in the temple and on a mission because he has experienced the same things elsewhere, and are explainable in science. But the thing I really loved about him, is that he isn't annoying! He is very honest and protective of our faith and very aware of speaking correctly. So he would always correct himself like " what you believe.... I mean what we believe..." or when they met before he didn't talk about his doubts in front of a recent convert, or he would say, I can't prove there isn't a god just as much as I can't prove that there is, so I am just stuck in the middle. So he is just a guy who is honestly searching and doubting. </span><span class="contextualExtensionHighlight ms-font-color-themePrimary ms-border-color-themePrimary ident_1450_1623" role="button" style="border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 120, 215); cursor: pointer;" tabindex="0">We are going to meet with him every other week or so and he is planning in the near future to come back, mainly for his parents, so it is just a super interesting situation!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="contextualExtensionHighlight ms-font-color-themePrimary ms-border-color-themePrimary ident_1450_1623" role="button" style="border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(0, 120, 215); cursor: pointer;" tabindex="0"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
Then there is a lady the sisters asked us to meet with, and she is also a very logical person. She used to not believe in God, but in a fire and near death experience (she was in a coma for a long time) a voice told her to keep her eyes open, or else she would die. Nobody at the hospital said that and so she came to believe in God, searched for churches, and studied the bible and figured out what she believes. She read the bible and feels like after the apostles and Christ died, there is no need for prophets because we all have the holy ghost. Anyway, my companion asked her, "what if there was a prophet on the earth?" and she thought, and said she had never thought about that! So it seems to just change something and so hopefully the sisters will have more luck with her in the future! It was a cool experience!</div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
Anyway two highlights of the week! Meeting cool people is probably one of my favorite things as a missionary!</div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
Spiritual thought for the week- I love the stripling warriors who obey with exactness so not one soul is lost. I think the same would be true in missionary work. If we obey with exactness not one soul would be lost (missionaries or those who are prepared to accept the gospel!) So that is great motivation! :)</div>
<div style="color: #212121;">
Hurrah for Israel!</div>

PS- Tansfers- I am getting a new companion this week. Elder Taylor. And a new elders companionship is coming to our ward! And both sisters and transferring out. So five new missionaries will be coming and I am the only one that knows the area and the ward, which is scary since I still don't know it super well!</div>

So I maybe didn't say this last week. But the missionary meeting he shook </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> all of our hands. And he remembered I was from Littleton Colorado and told a story about somebody from there and had me raise my hand! Yeah, what can I say, I am pretty special! hahahaha. </span><br />

Well this week was good! A few of the highlights. One we had interviews in our apartments with president. It was good. I think they enjoyed being in our house, and we were the last of the day for them so I think they were relaxed and just chill. I felt like they felt they didn't have worries in our home or with us, so it just was a fun and uplifting hour or so.</div>

There was a guy who the elders before had met with. His name is EeSangUm. He went to Europe for a month, and just got back. His life goal is to find out how to be happy and share it with others. How awesome is that? So we talked about the plan of salvation. I told him how he can test God and find out if our teachings are true and gave him a soft baptismal date. If by the end of the test, he feels like God exists, he said he would get baptized. So that was super exciting. :)</div>

We are finding and going through lots of investigators. I feel like we have a more solid group now though! Also a family that was in my first ward, just moved into my ward down here, so that was super exciting! The mom was companions with Brenda Sabey? And the son I think has connection with me for whatever reason.</div>

Last cool moment this week. I was waiting for a subway and this grandma was sitting on the bench. She signaled to me to sit next to her. I sat down and started to talk to her. Just asked a little about her. She ended up telling me how lonely she was. She had come across from North Korea in the night when the war was starting and her whole family is in North Korea. She has no contact with them ext. She kept taking her cross necklace and kissing it. It was really sweet. Then on the train she kept looking and me, so I went and talked to her just a little more. Just a moment of connection that was beautiful!</div>

This week I have been thinking about honesty. With several people I have talked to the theme seemed to come up. The AP from the Pusan mission just got home and is in our ward. So we talked a little. And he talked about how the key to success is knowing what you are good at. And knowing what your ward is good at. Honestly doing what you are good at. Then I was reading in the scriptures how we need to see ourselves as we truly are, even less than the dust of the earth. And I thought of something Elder Bednar said. How if we ask God to see who we truly are, it is brutal (but ultimately good.) Anyway I just have been seeing missionaries who I don't think are being self honest. And more than anything it is a little sad to see. But the more we are honest the more we will be able to progress and see how we can improve, etc.</div>

He talked about Nicodemus and the miscommunication between Christ saying we have to be born again, and Nicodemus not understanding. And he asked us what the problem was in this situation! We listed a little bit of our ideas, and ultimately he said. Yes these are all right. In short apostasy is the problem. And that is our problem, especially in Korea. We have to go to where our investigators are and bring them back to our understanding. We have to show them a piece of heaven so that they will eventually choose to come to heaven. We have to give them a spiritual experience in any way we can. Specifically with the book of Mormon. Anyway it was super good. Then on Sunday he talked to all the "children" in the church. How these 10 years from about 12 to 22 are the most important years of our lives, so stay close to the church! He talked about Christ's first day with the Nephites and how he ended by talking with the children and blessing them. he then blessed the children in Korea, and Korea in general. When he speaks you can just feel the power of his words and of his calling!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
One other cool experiences this week. Part 1 We met with a Chinese guy we had met on the bus. He is just super nice, and our Korean level is pretty similar. So it was just fun meeting with him. We talked about the Book of Mormon and how we have found it a blessing in his life. We told him we want to share our beliefs with him, which have been such a blessing to us. So he agreed to meet with us! He also said he has no friends... so he can meet with us on weekends! That was cool by itself, but part 2 happened as well. He was coming with us to English class after we talked and there was a guy from Croatia who asked for our help because he was on a business trip and didn't speak any Korean. So we went to try to help him figure out where he was trying to go. So he had to help him figure out how to buy a travel card, but it all didn't work because he didn't have any cash. Ultimately he said he could go to the bank and get cash and figure it out. So we started leaving. But after a few minutes we just decided we would be a couple minutes late and make sure he figured it all out. So we wen't and for whatever reason they didn't let him pull out money from the bank. So we just gave him the 7 dollars he needed to but the card and travel wherever he was going. The Croatian guy was very thankful and I think the Chinese guy was also impressed. So it was just a positive experience all in all! I am thankful for a companion who puts people before being on time or other things I can put as the first priority! </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
About my companion: Well he is just a super chill person. And everybody loves him. So he just likes listening to people, or talking with them, or whatever. He just really tries to make people feel valued! In personal study I have been doing a couple things. I just finished the recent conference talks. Then I have been reading The Book of Mormon with a single question in mind, as Elder Bednar suggested. And then just this week I have done a little reading on the role of missionaries, ward mission leaders, members, ect. I don't really know how people responded. It was broadcast. Well in my zone we have about 5 super solid missionaries. So our zone is doing better than all the other zones by a long way as far as stats... but we still have some problems (pride maybe one of them.) I ended up not writing a little paper. I had no time and yeah... I may still write something. When I first went to Gimpo, we have a lot of the same people in the zone. We call it a Gimpo reunion. So it is fun, but there are some of the same problems happening. I tried to push the sisters and suggested we proselyte together, but the felt pressure and stuff. So I ended up having an hour conversation with them and I think they were able to understand me better! So I think it was a positive experience!</div>

Anyway, I love you all. People really are the first priority. The gospel is true!</div>

flies! Anyway, this week was good! A funny experience this week: We were
sitting next to our recent convert and he felt my companions legs which are
very strong(he played rugby) and made a comment on them. So I flexed my leg and
he felt it and said "you must of studied a lot, you seem really
smart." So... yeah that was rough.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week I went on 2
exchanges, both of which were awesome. The first we met with a guy who lived in
America for like 10 years and his family still lives there. They teach him in
English. He used to be very christian but one day decided he is deceiving
himself. Long story short, we talked about testimony and I framed mine like a
science experiment. Seeing the different results of a religious life and making
conclusions from those results. So we committed him to do what the missionaries
say for 2 months and if he see's the results he said he would get baptized at
the end of those 2 months. It was a really cool teaching experience and
blessing. I felt the spirit and felt inspired.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Then the second was
with the AP. He is just an awesome guy. We weren't able to do all that much,
but we talked a lot. There are so many amazing people!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

conference this week, which I think went really well! It was all on repentance.
Plus president talked about some things that I think our mission needed to
hear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Last interesting
experience was a dinner appointment we had last night with a family. They are
just super fun people. But they admitted that their faith isn't that strong. it
is still there just not as strong. I guess they feel that they aren't always
happy in the church, and that happiness is the point of life. So their first
goal in life is to be happy. They have been in the church for 25 years, and I
don't think the will leave. her dream is to send all 4 of her children on
missions. So it was an interesting combination of faith and logic and doubts.
Sorry I feel like my summary utterly fails to express the experience
adequately. It was fascinating!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

will keep you informed as things move forward with more of our investigators.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Well I think this past week and a half has been a learning experience. This zone has had a huge focus on getting phone numbers. And the person I replaced is just a very sociable person. He just gets close with people so naturally and quickly. So I have been trying to do things that style and it has been cool! The basic idea is just be a real person. Always make sure that they know we are missionaries but just talk. Get there phone number and then try to meet them later, and that is when we talk a lot more about our church or our beliefs. And if they really are not interested, it is fine. They still think we are cool people and enjoyed meeting with us! I think it is the most effective method I have seen thus far on my mission. And as I have thought about it. It is something you can do for your entire life. Just talk with people an do not skip over the fact that you are Mormon. Conversations and questions naturally arise. And as we are sincere and kind, you can invite people, even people you do not know well, to learn more without it being forced.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Then my companion is just "chill." I am so impressed with the way he talks with people, missionaries, etc. He is just super awesome. So as I enjoy talking with him about things. He is thoughtful and fun, so it is great. So I am learning a lot from him as well!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
This week was stake conference a ways away, so we had no investigators come to church. But we met with several people for the first time. The two that stand out in my mind is a guy I met on the bus who spends all day at a singing academy, because he wants to go into musicals. He is interested in our church and had some good questions. We met once to discuss his questions but because his dream is singing, he wasn't willing to met with us more, despite wanting to know more. Then another, who we met with was not super interested, but we just offered to teach him our basic beliefs in 5 lessons, and he agreed so we will teach him! It is interesting to see how people use their agency!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Anyway, I am enjoying life and am happy! The more I experience, the more I find I judge too much, and love to little. So that is a simple thought for the week. Christ loved much and judged (negatively) little. Way we all follow that example!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">There are a lot of good things already happening here and I think a lot will keep on happening. My companion is Elder Olson. He is from Grand Junction. He is a super cool and kind kid. Also good at basketball! We also for this week had a Korean companion who is waiting for a visa. He is supposed to leave tomorrow but we still haven't gotten word if his visa came through. He is also awesome. We are all good socially and willing to talk to people so talking to people is easy and people like us! There was also a baptism here yesterday. I just barely met him but he is a kind of poor man who had met the missionaries a while ago, but wasn't interested. They called again, and he was just prepared! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: , "segoe ui" , "segoe wp" , "tahoma" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">I also did my first baptismal interview yesterday. It was pretty easy but still kind of nerve raking for whatever reason. No problems so that is nice!</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
We met a lot of people for the first time and have some new investigators but as I get to know them better and everything I will let you know!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
As I have been thinking about how I can help the missionaries here, I have thought again a lot about consecration. I want to write a small paper about the things I care about in missionary work, with some the goals I want us all to be able to achieve. So many missionaries are great missionaries, but hole back one or two things. We all do that. But as we never rationalize, and have a "relentless quest for exact obedience" God will work through us. So that is what I want missionaries to understand!<br />
Anyway, this work is amazing! I am happy and am working hard!<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">
I am a zone leader, so I just want to write a thing to my zone about what I care about. Set goals and follow up with them often. So many zone leaders really have no influence... so I don't want to be that haha</div>

This week was a very unique week! We had a long p-day on Friday, our big multi zone conference on Saturday where the missionary schedule changed, and then the new year weekend where pretty much everything shots down, oh and there was transfer calls! So the bad news this week, is that we were not able to meet with any investigators this week. We had several appointments with potential investigators but they all cancelled and we will meet them next week... well my companion will meet them next week! I am getting transferred to GokBanJung. I am excited! However it does mean that I have help trained 4 missionaries, but not even one completely. Plus Elder Perry will come to Gimpo and finish training Elder Hunsaker.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /><div>
The two main changes that happened to the schedule is that we do planning in the morning, and we can choose when to do studies. We just have to do personal study before 10. And then the other big change is that there are only 4 stats the church wants. Baptized and confirmed, investigators with a baptism date, investigators attending church, and new investigators. I like all the changes! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
When missionaries leave an area they give a quick goodbye testimony. It was a cool moment for me. I simply testified that got provides a way to fulfill his commandments. I asked them to do missionary work to there friends. As I ended with my testimony, I teared up. It was a cool moment for me for 2 reasons. I felt that I truly do know Christ is our savior, he does give us commandments for our benefit, and he provides a way for us to do those commandments. Second, I think it was the first time I have gotten emotional speaking Korean! So that was just a good moment.</div>
<div>
So I guess that is my testimony/spiritual thought this week. God does command us to do hard things, or uncomfortable things, but he always provides a way for us. He is our savior, our redeemer, and will always bless us for our efforts! </div>

It has been fun playing in the snow! haha.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
More importantly, we had some good things happen this week! We met with an old investigator and his friend who was kind of a preacher. (At first I thought we walked into a bible bash... but he was a band member at his church, and was very willing to listen as long as we believed in the bible and that Christ is our Savior!) The old investigator teaches an English class at the local community center and has like 40 students. So we are going to go like once a month and help him with his class. And will hopefully start meeting with him or his friend soon here!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
We also were on the street and this lady from the second floor opened her window and asked what we were giving to people. After many failed attempts to throw our Plan of Salvation pamphlets to here, she ended up coming down and got the pamphlet. We are going to meet with her this upcoming week.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
We also taught our recent convert and his sister. Because we wanted to keep it fun and more interesting for them we used chalk and drew out the gospel of Jesus Christ on the table. It was fun, because they got involved in the drawing and erasing and stuff! I hope they will remember it relatively well!</div>

We also had an activity with the youth where they went proselyting with us for like an hour. It was fun to show some people what we do!</div>

Thought for the week- In church two of my favorite members gave talks. Both of them just were super kind and complimentary of the spouses. It made me think of my parents who are both just kind and complimentary! Then consider my companions and anybody I work with/ have contact with and I felt like I need to express my positive thoughts much more! Often we assume people know we feel positively, when they do not always know that! They is always room to compliment!</div>

Hurrah for Israel!</div>

About President Donald Trump and all the protests: </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I do not like that at all... He won the election! Sore losers! My companion kind of likes him. As I have listened to him talk about the election, I am starting to like Trump more. He is still stupid and impulsive, but he shows that we are not okay with what politics has become. And even though what he claims we do know if he can do, he at least will try to change things, without worrying about what was done before, because he isn't a politician! So I want to give him a shot! Good for Obama! Koreans do not like Trump. I think most foreign countries do not, because he is unpredictable and puts America first. The companionship is going well! We all get a long pretty well! We do English twice a week! One for adults and one mainly for ward members' kids! The problem is that people don't like going to churches... So most don't even give it a shot! We do basketball a little. But now that it is winter we don't do it much. We don't have enough people to play soccer, so for right now not much we can do!</div>

<span style="font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Well
we had the last lesson with Bak Tae Son and his wife. The English program lasts
for 12 weeks. He said that he really loved meeting with us and thinks it is a
blessing from God. He now tells his friends that we are good people, our church
is good, and that the English program is a good idea, so he advertises for us
but right now doesn't seem like he wants to only meet about the gospel! So it
was a fun and sad goodbye!<br clear="all" />

investigator that we found on the street for the sisters came to church. She
seems to be progressing and what makes me so happy is that the sisters seem so
much happier and willing to work hard now that they have an investigator!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

thought this week. I have been reading the Book of Mormon with the question How
can we be obedient without perfect understanding? And I have been interested
that often in the book of Mormon people are obedient because of the impart
there actions have on others, or will have on others. I think as people as we
consider the reasons we need to be obedient it is because obedience is the best
way to help (or not hurt) other people. Often we think, if I am obedient, I
will be blessed. But it may be even better to say, if I am obedient, they will
be blessed!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 107%;">In Gimpo we don't have much service but we are going to try
to find some. We have done a fair amount of dish washing at these places that
feed elderly people. So that is actually really fun! But my favorite service
activity was helping this old lady take here trash that she collected to a
recycling place! Super fun! She was just the sweetest lady! She was a ward member! The ward helped
her get cans and newspapers and stuff and we just helped her move it all! I
wish finding service was easier sometimes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 107%;">That was Bak TaeSon and his wife at our last meeting! I
don't remember why we were hiding in the one but it was just funny! She lives
most all of it but doesn't like the theme of "obedience." Also she is
lazy so doesn't really like going to church or anything haha Just the weather
this week was cold! So being outside for a while is annoying~! I think modern
culture almost everywhere is against obedience!</span></div>
