Sounds like the family is doing well all over the United States!!!
This past week was... interesting.
A lot of our investigators were unable to meet this week, but my companion and I continued to work through and do the Lord's work.
So, our investigator who had the baptismal date got a girlfriend...a very very very sketchy...met through the computer girlfriend...and so we talked to him for an hour about the Law of Chastity...and it never went in. He has had no confidence in his life, so getting a girlfriend is important to him...and he will do anything that she wants...we tried a lot to help him, but he is pretty stubborn about it. On top of that, he now has to work to get money to go on dates and stuff, so he won't be able to come to church for awhile...so he is... struggling. But we still love him. We had a birthday party for him with the missionaries and it was his first ever birthday celebration (he's 26)...he asked us to come over today and talk to his mom...we will see how that goes...
*Korean culture: kids stay at home until they are married and then they leave the house (about age 28-31)
We also met with an English academy teacher, who is doing well.
So transfer calls, JUST came, and I am going to Mokpo. It's on the coast (which means warmer...!) and there's a nice house. The missionary work is a little lacking...but that is what work is for!!!
Anyways, I love you all so much/.
My last companion taught me so much about everything...!
He is ...in every way, strategic, manipulative, and crazy smart.
The thing that I learned most this transfer is simply how important and valuable experience is. It is what shapes who we are, and how we see the world in which we live in.
Read Helaman 5:12 and substitute family in for the pronouns. That is true. I know it is.
I love you all soo very much!!!!!
