July 25, 2022 - Daejeon

 Hello hello, everybody! This is another two week email, but these two weeks have been mostly more of what you have already come to expect, so it should be short yet again. There is a nice rhythm going for us here in Daejeon, with friends to teach, new people to meet, and members to work with. I was sick last week, which, of course, never feels good, but I'm back in shape and ready to go go go!


We have been spending more time these past two weeks planning for our big english camp. This activity of ours should be really fun! Missionaries from Daejeon and the surrounding cities will come down and run their own american culture activity rooms, with topics ranging from cartoons to the mafia to the air force and more! It is still about a month away, but we knocked out most of the planning so we can be well prepared to invite tons of people.

We also had a zone activity last preparation day! It was way fun. We went bowling and afterward came back to the church to play signs and mafia. This zone is full of incredible people!

I hope you all have a great week!

Hello once again! I may be a day later than usual, but I did not die, nor did I forget to update. This update is coming out a bit later than usual because p-day was on a Tuesday this week. I still don't have much time, so this may be a brief update, but I have some fun updates to share! This past week was the first full week where we are working exclusively in 김제 (Gimje, also pronounced (Kimje), and it has been a nice transition. We have taken on a couple of teaching friends that were previously being taught by the sisters, and we have been getting to know them! They are both sweet old ladies, and I am excited to get them progressing toward baptism.  Sacrament meeting was also very busy this week! We invited some less active members to attend, and they did! So did a high counselor and a visiting family. Our sacrament meeting room was full, and it was wonderful! I still can't understand what people are saying during the meeting, but that doesn't stop me from feeling the spir...

 Chuseok and a Year in Korea What a wonderful last two weeks we have had down in Korea! In some ways it's been busy, and in others more of the same, so I will try to pick out the highlights here I started off the week with an exchange with Elder Wagner. We started in the MTC together, and it was fun to reminisce, particularly as the date of the exchange was exactly one year from when we finished the MTC. We had a busy schedule of meeting potential English interests over zoom, but most of them canceled. We also met an old Muslim teaching friend for dinner. He ended up being 30 minutes late and came with 2 girls we had never seen before. It was a pretty aggressive double dating setup, with too many questions about if we could help get them American Visas, so we took the fact that they were late as an excuse to leave early ourselves for the sake of our "other appointment". I'd heard stories from other missionaries, so it was good to get that out of the way and made for a...

 Christmas is here! I may or may not be writing this email in the last 10 minutes I have before lights out, and I will be continuing on the lean format of last week's email. Anyone with complaints, feel free to send a formal complaint. We went to Jeonju for  interviews with President . Priesthood callings are really cool, and I really respect my mission president.  A  miracle friend  of someone we are teaching suddenly attended one of our appointments, and it turned into one of the most spirit filled discussions I have had in a long time. Turns out she is  also  good friends with Branch President, and loves the light she sees in members of our church, and wants to learn more! According to me and my authority,  Christmas  began last Thursday, and so we are preparing and sharing messages to Light the World! We are also holiday multitasking, and have a huge  Branch Thanksgiving Party  this week, and we want to cook some amazing America...
