Mom,
So we do email at the Family History Center because its the only computers that will allow Elder Lee to email in Korean. So holiday or not, we get to write.
So you got me bedroom furniture? too soon. Gosh. You have an eliptical? what the heck. crazy stuff.
Oh man, West Point Papers? my stomach hurts. Pres asked about them last week. Ill have to update him. i see that my candidate file is opened and registered. lets just get it done ASAP. My file doesnt show anything like transcripts from CHS, or BYU-H turned in. It has my SATs and stuff, but nothign else. I hope Dad does that before sending me the papers.
Thats cool! How is Chris doing? its good to hear you are still in contact with them.
Well mom, thigns are going well. we set another baptismal date. thats 3. All of them are pretty solid. that zone is now at 14. we have picked up from about 5 to 14. things are going well. still having some trouble with a companionship in my district though :/
yesterday we had dinner with a new member, another family, and some of the single peeps in the ward. We sang for them in Korean. it was cool. Im pretty much a professional now... yah right.
We were tracting yesterday, and we started talking with these two people who were having a campfire. One of them, a drunk man, was not necisarrily being rude, but he was semi-heckling us. He was saying lies, and nonsense into the ear of the lady there, who was intent on our message. it was a visual of how satan tries to distract us. he doesnt communicate any intelligence, just trys to reassure people with nonsense and unimportant things. However, we just ignored him and kept testifying. At one point, he just shouted, "We know all ABOUT Christ, we dont need to hear from you", and i just turned to him and said "yes, but do you KNOW christ?", and he just sat there quiet for a few moments, then we said "because you CANNOT know Christ unless you keep his commandments. its just not possible". It really impacted him and the lady. he even tried to give us 20 bucks, but we refused. It was an interesting experiecne, we will see if anything comes of it.
And im sure you heard, i got permission to see Clayton on Saturday. It was a weird experiecne. like being in a dream. combining of two different lives ive had. Im still kinda weirded out by it. IT was good to see him. We went to the temple, and i showed him how i contact people on the trains. I think his friend especially liked learning more about the mormons.
well, thats about it. i love ya and miss ya. i know your going on your vacation soon. i hope you have a good time. transfers are on the 13th i think. T-calls on the 11th, so about anotehr week.
miss ya, love ya, ttyl!
