Hey there family,

First off I have a few requests....

1) I need you to email me the Bishops Name and Address of our new ward.
2) I thought about something you could send me (and yes I know you already sent the package) But man I could go for some cream of wheat. We had some when I was down in Osan and it's probably one of my favorite things...so just next time you get a chance.
3) Send me some crazy pictures to put in my photo album. Also a picture, i should say, "the" picture of the a cappella mens group from high school. (maybe even the recording on a card)

So how are you doing? I actually called JJ Kim the night before dads birthday and told him to call because you said you hadn't heard from him in a while. I call him probably once every few weeks. He called me back right after he got off the phone with you guys and said "I just talked to your girlfriend!" He said she sounds like a movie star too and he can't wait to meet her. I love that man.

Well I was debating waiting until it was just few days away, but you know the family we met last week that got referred from Utah?

THEY"RE GETTING BAPTIZED ON THE 14TH!

It's a mom and her two kids. And Im pretty stoked. They love us and are obviously learning really quickly. It's not really us though, one of our members has done most of the teaching. We're simply counting our blessings as we watch the magic of conversion happen. Their names are : 이옥자 (Ye Oak Ja, the mom) and two kids 최승준, (Choi Sng Jun) and 최용준 (Choi Yong Jun). Pray for them!

So this week has been going really well. We're getting really close with a few other investigators as well. I think I told you about Kim Chor Gun, and how we met him again.. (He's the one I met in Man Su when I was there) He's doing well and learning a lot. The others are just moving along though. We're picking up investigators at a pretty steady rate and dropping others. Just trying to find those that are ready.

So it's crazy hot today by the way and it's getting hotter. Yay for summer....it makes you appreciate air conditioning that much more (just for reference, no not a lot of people have air conditing...it is more common here though because every one is so rich. and no our house does not have air conditioner) I'll survive though. ( maybe a small portable desk fan would be nice?)

As far as "Jun dow" this week (proselyting in korean). We met a guy on the subway that met missionaries a long time ago and has actually been to Salt Lake and been through the temple square tour and knows a little bit about the church...we'll meet him again tomorrow.

A couple we're meeting right now is also doing pretty well. Sunny and Mr. Hammer are their english names and they love going to church. They're doing really well and i love them.

I think that's it for the week.

Today we went to a little bbq with some missionaries and played dodgeball and ate hamburgers. That was pretty cool. Transfer calls are a week from Saturday. That was quick. I love you family, happy year mark.

Love
Brinton
