사랑한 가족!!! 

Well this week was pretty fun! On  wednesday and Thursday I was on splits with an elder named Elder bacarro, he's from the philippines. I think he was in Sister Oaks' MTC class. So I was able to go around and contact people with him, it was a lot of fun because he's very energetic and he was always so  happy to talk to people. We've had a bunch of appointments cancelled this week but we were able to meet with one man and we talked to him about keeping the sabbath day Holy and coming to church. Unfortunately he wasn't able to come to church this week because he had a test to take but hopefully next week he'll be able to go! He's a really nice young man and he seems to understand everything we taught him. We brought a member along with us and the member pretty much talked the whole time but I feel like it went pretty well. Yesterday we were able to do a service project and so we went to a lady's new house to help her move in. At first the movers wouldn't let us come in because they were busy bringing stuff into the house but finally we were allowed to come in and start putting stuff away. It ended up taking about 8 hours all together but it was definitely worth it to get some physical labor in and she fed us Chinese food!! Chinese food in korea is much different than it is in the United states but it's very good!! So guess what we did today?!?! We went to the Temple!! It was soo good and I've forgotten how good it feels to walk into that building since we went every week in the MTC! I can't belive I've already been here for almost a whole month! Each day seems to last forever but the weeks seem to go by soo fast!! Well I think that's all that has really happened this week, nothing too exciting but it's been a good week. We spend most of our time trying to find new investigators because our old investigators don't  seem to want to meet with us anymore :( Oh well, I guess that's just a part of missionary work! Well I hope you all are doing well. I'm doing awesome out here serving in korea, It's soo hard work and I sometimes feel like quitting when I can't  understand what the people are saying to me, or when our investigators don't show up to our meeting, but it's the lord's work and he's definitely making it possible for me! I love you all and I am so grateful that you raised me in this wonderful church! Well yeh, that's about it for now bye!
