Hi family! and oreo too...
Well, this week went by really fast as in...it just seems like nothing really happened..at all. On Monday I went on splits (cause thats what district leaders do..) with one of the elders in my district. Hess korean and his name is E. So. It was fun, we just did missionary work. Nothing really exciting happened.
Then Tuesday was my second district meeting as district leader. I guess it was good. I made everyone watch a couple of those old school mormon seminary videos from the 90's. Of course no one complained cuz their the best videos ever.
Then Wednesday we didn't really have much going on. We did pick up an amazing new investigator named Kim Sang Kyum. He's way cool, has a wife and two little girls and thinks it'd be a good idea if he got some religion in his life. We like to call these kinds of investigators GOLDEN! I'll let you know how he's doing in a couple weeks.
Shin Sang Hee, is the Johnny Depp of korea guy. He's doing well, we played some pool with him last week and then talked to him about baptism. He thinks it'd be a good idea, but he doesn't have time to come to church right now. Tonight he's taking us out to dinner, so thats fun.
Other than that I went to the temple today and felt the spirit, so that's always a plus. We havent gotten permission to look for a new house yet, but we should soon. The church we live above has a meeting with crazy loud music every morning at 5 and most of the time late at night, so needless to say, we dont get too much quality sleep.
And now here i am.
How was conference? ( I only ask now because by the time i get a response you will have seen it) don't tell me what happened or who's talks were good..we can talk the week after.
Glad to see your keeping up my face book...people probably think I'm still home...or that I can look at that while im on my mission. About the picture...I honestly don't care what you put on there, but i just sent pictures home last week so you should have them any day now...maybe you can find another picture. You've got to have enough of a selection than to pick one from the MTC. I don't even really like that one of me squezzing the building in my first area....I dont even know why I took that picture.
Oh, last Saturday, Sunny and Hammer came to visit, brought us their old washing machine and took us to a really nice restaurant for lunch. Man i miss them. their doing well. mom, you should call them...I told Sunny to call you but she's nervous about her english. She's way good and I really want her to talk to you guys. Her number is 010 7393 2264 or home number 032 701 2261. Call them in the nighttime here around 9 30 to 10ish.
About the shirts...15 1/2 32/33 im almost positive. and NO BUTTON collars...they just don't look as good. Some new ankle socks would be nice, but I can buy those in korea if I had the money. Man they love their socks here. a lot. I'm gonna make a request at some money. I somehow have a lot of extra stuff i don't use and want to send it home because its really annoying to carry around... and ya. I took some money from my credit card yesterday to get my shoes fixed today. No they aren't broken but they are getting a little worn and could use some repair and I want them to last at least til I get home. and I wanna know if I can start buying christmas presents and how much I can spend...I want to get it done early. so I don't have to worry about it.
Call neill and tell him I haven't been getting his emails that I heard hes been sending. I'll send him a tape soon. I miss him too and think about him all the time. Especially if I have a companion I don't particularly get along with. Elder Jensen is cool...just some previous companions. I can't wait to hang out with him again when iIget back. Ask him if he ever got the pictures I sent him.
I love you guys,
