week 37 - Happy Members

Hi Mom, things are going well here. Also, our new investigator is getting ready for baptism. We met again this Sunday to teach a bit more of the last lesson, which is about commandments. And afterwards we tried to find clothes that would fit him for next week. It was incredibly hard to do. He's only 14 years old but, he's a big kid. To draw a mental picture of him, he is literally twice the size of his friend who referred him. It was kind of fun since every thing he tried on constricted his movement. Anyway his friend is excited and also the ward. They can't stop talking about it. They even announced it during church like three times. On the other hand 이두환 is a mystery right now. We've told the office Elders about him but they haven't told us anything and we don't know if they contacted him yet. I hope they have or I might need to bug them about that. Right now we've been building 정, or a super strong friendship, with the members. So far I think it's going good. The only thing that could break it now is if we have to cancel the baptismal date. But I have no worries yet. Well I just can't think of what to write about so I'll answer questions. Has my companion shown me any pictures of his country?? Not very many, right now. Most of the pictures he has are of his family only, inside or at the Airport. How is the new apartment?? It is awesome, everything still works. It’s not too small and it's clean. The only problem we are having right now is that we have to travel to another place for contacting and other things. Other than that it's great. How is it that Elder Gardiner was responsible for you moving on Thanksgiving Day???? So when we were moving we had the opportunity to change the day. But He told the AP's that we could do it then. Having enough time to move and then go to the Wilcox's. Which were his own personal feelings about the matter! As for the Wilcox's, they are Americans that are living in Korea right now. Brother Wilcox had a job offer there that was a great blessing to his family. It's a little weird since their son is in Korea right now on his mission. Anyway Christmas is coming soon isn't it? We will get to talk I think. I haven’t heard anything about it yet but this is not something I want to miss out on. So... What is our phone number??? I forgot what it was. Well I love you mom and I miss you a lot.

Bye... I'll write more next week, I promise.

More . . . . (2^nd email)

I tried to write a simple thing that happen to me this week and I thought of this- it's short though. The other day ago, we were Heart attacking member’s homes. It was fun. Sneaking into their apartment building to get to the door. Then trying to quietly place hearts all over the door. So we were all alert and focused to make sure that they didn't open the door when we were there. So while we are doing this, we hear the elevator door open and find the young women who’s door we were working on, come out. Ah! It gave us a good scare. Then they decided to visit one of the members we were going to heart attack. Well the end... That was the weirdest thing that happened this week... never mind, I can't explain it since I don't know the whole situation.

I love you mom.

Thank you so much! This week was a good week. Not much is happening, Just 문현기 (moon hyun gi) is getting baptized. I'm so excited for him. The ward is going crazy about it. They all know and the plan is to have a dinner party afterwards. I think that this is what the wards needs right now. When I first got here they had lost their Church Building and a few members have gone inactive because of that. Now that there is a baptism, they have something to look forward to. I guess it will be about two years until they get their new building.  Well I need to go soon love ya sis.  

Bye..?
