Hey family, So I got the transfer calls, and they decided to transfer me into the first North Korean Mission area! Just kidding, the transfer calls come tonight. But I think I'll stay in Il San for one more. That's the feeling I get, because we have some good progressing investigators, and if I stay I will baptize them next month. That's the family that moved in, and I made friends with their son. They are such a cool family! They are rich, for sure. Their apartment is SO nice, on the 26th floor of this way tall building. Anyway, they have been taking the lessons for a while now, and we set a baptismal date for August 14. I'm way excited, because they will be an awesome family in this ward. And I love their son, his name is Lee Yo Han (the korean version of John), and he's funny. He speaks a little English, too. I'll get a picture with them and send it to you.
Other news...It's rained a lot here. Like for four or five days straight. I heard there's a typhoon or some sort of tropical storm in the vicinity, which explains all the rain. It rains so much harder here than it did in Utah, that's for sure. i was soaked from the knees down.
Sounds like the last Harry Potter movie will be good. I heard that part one had some racy scenes in it, which is kind of disappointing. Harry Potter should focus on being a dark wizard killer, not a lady-killer. But i will see them when I get back anyway, along with everything else.
I'm sorry to hear about Paul's dad. That's so sad... We don't know God's timing with everything, and reconciling our wills to His is really hard. I hope they're not having too hard of a time with everything.
Congrats on the 5 elk tags, that's pretty sweet! I like how the five of you make up almost half the hunters up there, that's some pretty good odds. Blow em' away and tell me how it went.
They have some pretty fancy phones here too, Dad. Good luck trying to figure it out, but you're a smart guy, you'll get it eventually even if Austin has to show you how. :D
For the ward newsletter...yeah, just tell them I'm alive and well, and that I'm having the time of my life out here. And that I baptized Ko Gwang Jin. And that kimchi is the best food on the planet.
That's all. There's a Korean guy yelling at people way loud in the post office right now, which is strange because usually Koreans don't lose it in public like this. Just thought I'd let you know what was going on as I'm typing. :D I love you all, i'll tell you where I go next week!
