INVESTIGATOR NAMES

Thank you for your inspirational words. We had the opportunity to watch the Character of Christ in the MTC. It is a super great talk. I agree, the need to turn outward is greater than the need to turn inward. Thank you!

[Mom's note here:  We always refer to the people Will is teaching by a brief description of how they met, or where they are from.  I had to chuckle as I read our correspondence about these various wonderful people.]

Haha, I had to laugh when you mentioned the investigators through these interesting descriptions...! What made it better was that I had to stop and think for awhile until I realized who exactly the "internet" investigator was. Haha. Yeah, very shrouded, but I thought it would be easier than talking about 최용민 형재님 in their Korean names...

Our investigators are doing well. The internet investigator was not able to come to church, but we were able to contact him and will hopefully soon be able to meet with him. We were able to meet with the Gwangju investigator who is doing so well. We really focused on helping him to gain a witness of the Book of Mormon and he seemed very committed to reading and praying. He wasn't able to come to church yesterday because he likes to sleep in, so we will work with that for this next week. He is really great though!

The family is going to be dropped because they haven't been able to meet for 3 weeks. The boy that Eric mentioned is a swimmer and plays pingpong. He is a great kid and hopefully will be able to progress well in the Gospel. It was so great to be able to teach that Sunday with Eric! Also, the 28 year old is doing well. He isn't really working toward much right now in his life; he is mainly going with the flow and staying stagnant and complacent with where he is. He is great though and we love him very much. We have some ideas to help stimulate some desire for God and other things. We are excited!

Things in Korea are going well! Missionary work is the best and Elder Peterson is as great as ever! I love you so much!

The Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know that is true. There is truth within its pages that will guide the seeking soul to Christ and through Christ to eternal families. My companion this week made an interesting comment that selfishness blinds the souls of man. I can't help but think of Elder Bednar's talk and how selfishness really does narrow the vision that we have to things that only benefit us. Selfishness is satisfactory in the moment, selflessness is satisfactory in the eternities. Selfishness reflects on the self, selflessness lets go of the self. Selfishness is the root of all evil, selflessness is the root of all good. The more that we give, the more that we receive, but only if we give without the intention of receiving. I know that that is true. I love you so much and am greatful that I have the opportunity here in Korea to serve the Lord and His people. You are all the best!!! I love you so much!
