Hello,
I guess my mouth feels better. I'm still on some crazy drugs though and it's a bit swollen. He said it should be fine but only time will tell. He actually graduated from BYU, went to the University of WIsconsin and Marquette. I guess hes pretty qualified. I'm not gonna lie though, that's probably the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I wouldn't recommend anyone to do it.
So ya, we just found out this morning about the new prophet and such. Always exciting news. General Conference is gonna be way cool in April.
My week was pretty good. its not exactly over yet. We just picked up two more investigators. Yes we have a ton and 13 of them are progressing. Basically their all getting closer. Not sure what'll happen though. We don't get to meet a ton of people this week though because of New Years. It's the other big holiday (remember Korean Thanksgiving?) basically, everything will be closed for about 3 days and everyone goes back to their hometowns to celebrate. Also the reason why we're emailing today instead of on Thursday cuz nothing will be open. Also keep in mind that on
Thursday you all get to add one more year on to your life! (I know your excited mom.)
Yes, the picture of the firemen is the same fireman. He's so cool, and loves us. Hopefully he can come to church this week but with new years everybodies schedule is crazy and that's when he's coming back from down south.
We do have around 5 dinners set up for the holidays though, that's always exciting. It's interesting with Koreans you know...they eat a ton of food. And you can eat a ton of food, but never really feel belt ripping full. You just feel finished. And you don't see very many fat Koreans, the ones that are probably eat too much American food.
And yes, I do exercise every morning. We get up at 6:15 and run down to the city hall where there's a free gym downstairs. I've actually gained a little weight, as in like 5 pounds. I started lifting a bit.
So yea, everyone in our house stayed and will be there for at least the next six weeks. It sounds like it's gonna be more of a quiet transfer, not a lot of people moving.
well I actually wrote a letter last week, I just haven't had any time mail it yet. and yes I wrote two seperate letters to Shyla and Kaylie, and about 6 pages to mom and dad. be excited.
Random fact for the week, Ihave a jar at our house, and it says "똥자루" on it, which means "poop jar" don't worry I didnt buy it, I just inherited it cuz it was at the house..I think its awesome.
Have a great week, love you,
Brinton,
