Hey family,
Yes, I was cleaning and they got there half an hour early..not cool at all. And yes, they sent it to president as well. Sorry you haven't gotten my letter yet, that would be a big bummer if you didn't get it. I don't even remember what I wrote. Anyways, I just got like 3 letters from home, a few from Maria, some candy and a letter from gramma, and some letters from G&G jizzle. (for your information on the mail update).
JJ Kim pretty much just calls you. I don't even think he knows the numbers for other missionaries parents. That and he calls me about 4 times a month. He's just cool like that.
I would like to point out that I'm not gaining weight because I'm eating more. I am working out more. and we don't eat a ton of American food, we just get spoiled about once a week. By the way mom, it was actually kinda interesting when I got to Korea, I loved rice. And I eat it all the time. Technically Koreans don't consider it a meal unless there's rice in it or with it. That's just how it is.
So as far as my week, it was pretty good. Last week on Pday we went and played basketball against a bunch of guys that play for a college team in the next city over. They were all hungover and so we consequently gave them a lesson on the word of wisdom and beat them. We're going to play them again today because they want a rematch, hopefully they learned their lesson. Our investigators are doing well. We have around 20 right now. 오예주 is progressing really well and you can see the change happening. 김승남 is also doing well, he's the firemen. Last night we had an awesome lesson with him and taught him about free agency and obeying Gods commandments. 김상오 and his family are doing great as well. They said they might come to church this week and their kids are AWESOME. We also picked up a new family this week, they have four kids all over 16. They should be really good. But no one's getting baptized yet. We have so many that are so close. It's just getting to that point where we can't really teach them anymore, they simply have to make the step and show that they want this. It gets kinda frustrating but at the same time you want them to be converted.
I'm so proud of my Oreo. Drinking out of the toilet, causing havoc..I miss him dearly. I got your valentines day picture, and MAN does he have rolls! He's one big piece o' fat. Koreans love it when I show pictures of him. He's so huge.
I love you guys, have a wonderful week.
Love, Brinton
