 Thanksgiving! I shouldn't make a habit of this, but I am once again speedrunning writing emails with 10 minutes left until missionary curfew. It's a bit of a shame as this was a very busy and exciting week, but hopefully the lean truncated emails help me share the most important parts of my week with you! Firstly, we had a very successful Thanksgiving party ! We had great attendance. We made a  terribly salty stuffing  and made a huge mess of our house cooking it, but that's ok because other members brought actually good food. We started teaching someone new from a  newspaper advertisement  which is really cool because we haven't run ads for many months, so this was planted by missionaries from maybe even a year ago. We had  district council in Namwon ! It was kinda odd, but really fun. Christmas started for real.  Light the World  is back in full swing, and you all should watch their new videos when  you have a chance! That's all from me. I...

 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!

 Dawn of a New Era Hello everyone! These last two weeks have been the beautiful and busy start of a new transfer! In an attempt to write down as much as possible and make this as skimmable as I can, I will be trying a new bulletpoint format My new companion is Elder Kent.  He is from Idaho, has been in Korea for about 8 months, and is just a delightfully wonderful human being who is a joy to serve with. He also plays the piano and now acts as our branch pianist! Zone Conference  was as spiritually recharging as always. I think our new mission president has gotten his groove down, and it's really cool seeing the men God calls as leaders act with His authority! Our mission schedule changed  from 7 am to 11 pm, changed to 6:30 am to 10:30 am, which makes us like almost every other mission on the planet now Our english class is bearing fruit!  Its slow, but we are meeting a couple individuals outside of the class and speaking more directly about God! Elder Kent gave...
