Ninety-Sixth Week Email

안녕하세요?
 
   Well hey there. That week seemed a little too fast. But last week had to have been one of the best so far. We didn't have a second to think and it was just amazing. And it's finally starting to feel like christmas around here.
 
   We have just been out and about meeting everybody we can. It's one of those times on my mission where our main plan takes about 3 minutes to plan everynight. We have just been really blessed lately and we really need to keep it going this week. We have had a really big focus lately on referrals lately and it finally came together this last week. Brother Iem our highschool student brought 4 of his friends to our lesson last week and we have seperate appointments with 3 of them now. And these have to be some of the funniest kids I have ever met. They kind of give me the feel of hipsters in a korean high school. But Brother Iem's parents have always encouraged him to find a religion for himself and everything has just been making sense to him for these past couple of weeks. We're really excited to meet with him this up coming week.
 
   I honestly can't explain really how this week was though. Everybody we have been meeting kept commitments and it feels like the commitment that we gave to each of them fit perfectly for this week. We would even get text from Brother Iem in the middle of the night again having a conversation with himself like he does occasionally. He gets excited and ask us a question about Nephi and then about 30 minutes later he will say nevermind and tell us his answer that he thought of. And for being so funny and non serious all of the time Brother Iem has some amazing questions.
 
   All of us missionaries also recieved phone calls this week from our favorite little 11 year old twins while they were at school and I personally had to talk to 10 elementary school students this week because Tim and Kevin wanted their friends to hear a "foreigner speak korean in a funny way." Still not sure how to take that but we are still meeting with our little family. We are just a little stuck still until we can meet with their Dad one of these days and talk about the boys coming out to church. Sister Kim their mom has to work on Sunday mornings but she still thinks that if her sons had a relgion it wouldn't be a bad thing. She also packs a back pack with a small pharmacy store incase one of us missionaries isn't feeling to well. She would honestly be perfect in the relief society.
 
    Another thing that was going on this week was our 20 minute role play visits with members. We have 5 family "investigators" in that program these days. And members still think it's pretty fun to give us everything they have when we go to meet them but we always leave by warning them that we will be inviting them to baptism next time we come.
 
 
    Well that was basically what is going on right now in Daejeon. We have a couple christmas parties this week and absolutely no time. So I'm really hoping we can just build on what we did last week and keep the momentum going right now. I really do love it here in Daejeon and I hope my family knows that I'm still getting picked on enough. My entire sunday school class thought it would be fun to talk about their last transfers of their missions in english.... just so we understood perfectly I guess. But I guess all that time with the old man and the siblings (I still survived my childhood) prepared me in a good way.
 
   Well I have to get going but I love all of you. Have a great week!

   Another transfer call day and..... Elder Gibbons and I are staying. That will make 3 transfers with Elder Gibbons.  And I couldn 't be more happy about being here in Daejeon.  It's nice because all of our investigators know us really well so I'm excited for another six weeks.
 
   We did have a pretty interesting week with all of our appointments. We had to go with our back up plans and we were calling some pretty interesting audibles and making some back up back up plans as part of our planning sessions. But for some reason we ended up at home at the end of the night doing things we had absolutely no idea about before the day started.
   But lately we have still just been so happy with the change in everything over here in Korea when it comes to missionary work. Every week I get up in priesthood and talk about our past week, investigators, and our plans for the upcoming week. Well this last week after I talked everybody started to speak up about who they were working on bringing to church, and less active members they were reaching out to. Well we took up 30 minutes of the hour long block with nothing but missionary work and the Priesthood holders making plans together and with us for when we will meet these people. I still remember when I stood up just a couple months with a schedule for visits and it was completely silent haha. We also got completely random phone calls from some members telling us to get to there house becuase it was too cold outside haha. One thing you have to make really clear in Korea is that your meetings do need a missionary purpose or else members will kidnap us sometimes to have fun. President Shin has been trying to put a stop to that since he came but some of these members have too much fun with it. Especially in the smaller country areas like my second one. That branch president had too much fun with missionaries haha. But we as a mission have been keeping track of our gospel teaching time and that's what President Shin has made up a lot of programs for. So we have just been spending a lot of time role playing and then going out to our members houses for member role plays and members love to put us through the ringer. We taught a family where the son was budhist, the mom was catholic, and the father was a member of one of the Korean churches here in Korea that is pretty famous for finding our missionaries and not being so nice haha. So I feel like our members are really finding a lot of fun with all of this missionary work going on lately especially at the expense of the missionaries sanity haha. There's nothing like telling a member that you had plans to go out to the church to make some flyers and go put them up and they just laugh at you while they bring out fruit and hold you against your will. The Korean people have that gift and they really enjoy using it some times on these foriegn missionaries in their wards.
   Other than all of that I went on a split with Elder Barney who is in my district this last week and it was so great. We met a young high schooler name Cheol and this kid is just too much fun. He and his family have to be some of the nicest people I have met in a long time. His parents are very strict budhist but they have strongly encouraged Cheol to find his own way that makes him happy. And after we met him out on a bridge we have just had so much fun with this kid. I wake up to the funniest text in english with some pretty interesting questions like, "why did Nephi and Lehi leave gold and silver behind?" and about 20 minutes later just a text that said, "nevermind! found out why. haha see you tomorrow."
So Elder Gibbons and I just laugh at the text we have been waking up to lately. And we have still been meeting our little families weekly. Pretty funny story there though. Sister Kim (The twins mom) works at a old person hospital as a nurse. Well just like you are never suppose to tell a relief society member that you are feeling sick, you should never tell a Korean nurse that you're not feeling well haha. She brought a back pack that we called a pharmacy and right there in the church she pulled out a needle with, "pain reliever." in very broken english. So after not being able to refuse this unlabeled syringe from this woman I met a little over a month ago the Sister missionaries thought it would be funny to call President and have him to talk to Sister Kim about it and they did that strange Korean thing where they speak really fast and the next thing I know I'm getting a really big shot.... not in the arm. Anyway that was my living in a foriegn land moment for the week. But Tim and Kevin our little twins are just hilarious. They fight over who gets to say the closing prayers during english class and they pray for the strangest things sometimes like the sandwich that they ate at school earlier that day haha. It's great and they actually asked their Dad if they could come out to church but we're still working on that entire thing these days.
   Well it was a little scattered but we had a great week. Never really have a clue with what's going to happen. For example I just got called by my zone leader saying that we are changing our zone meeting tomorrow into two meetings and he is going to the other one out in the country side and I have responsibility over this one tomorrow..... fun. Well I have to get going so I love all of you. I pray for all of you all of the time and I hope you are all happy.

   Well we had another fun filled week here in Korea. We saw a lot of great things this week and met a lot of great people. We had a Stake Activity and a few missionary meetings so we were pretty much busy all week. The winter is definetely here in Korea. Last monday when we went hiking we did it in the snow and it was such an amazing day. And we also got hit by the Christmas fever here in Korea. Sorry we don't have to wait until Thanksgiving to start the Christmas Season.
 
   One of the great parts of this week was meeting Brother Lee and his daughter. Working in the Sunhwa Ward has just been so great. Between the Sisters and Elder Gibbons and I we have 3 families we are teaching. It's pretty funny because when ever Elder Gibbons and I put up flyers for english we have women call us and whenever the Sisters put up flyers they have men call them. And whenever we aren't able to get a priesthood holder for lessons the sisters just can pick it up. And to add to the teamwork our ward mission leader is just amazing. He works at the church so he has met all of our investigators multiple times. Our Bishop makes sure to stop by our english classes and he gets to know everybody well. And like I have said the theme of the past month has been the work of salvation so we have been working really well with the members and church has been the highlight of our weeks here in Daejeon.
 
   Well back to Brother Lee and his daughter. The office Elder's found him while talking to people on the street and He really needs help. He has gone to every church here in Korea and has a pretty strong opinion about all of them so he was very honest when he said that this was his last stop for churches and he would be really honest with us about everything. Well we went over to find his house and Korea is in the middle of switching address systems because it is impossible to find addresses here. So we didn't have his phone number and we ran around his neighborhood for 40 minutes and finally found his house. We got there and taught his daughter english and had a great lesson. His wife was from Russia and right now she can't live in Korea so that has seperated their family and with everything in life right now Brother Lee doesn't have a lot of options. And through all of this he's still trying to come closer to god.
 
   We also had to pass off the twins this week to the Sister's because we couldn't find a Priesthood Holder to meet with us but the Sisters did a really good job. It really makes a big difference when everybody works together. And right now Sunhwa Ward seems like a completely different ward. We're still trying to make the big push that President Shin wants us too but I'm just so happy to see the progress.
 
   Sorry this is a short one but I have to get going. I love all of you so much. Have a great week.

   Well another week has flown by here. It was a pretty good week though. We spent the weekend at the church for stake conference and the rest of the week was filled with meeting new people and all of the people we are already meeting. It is always nice to have the entire stake together because you can always see the strong relationships that the Korean Saints make here. Most of them have lived in a couple different wards here in Daejeon so everybody knows everybody.

   We did find some pretty sad news out this week. We went over to visit our Investigator Brother Shin on Tuesday but he was running late coming back from the Doctor. So we were walking around putting up fliers for english class when Brother Shin walked up and he just looked sad. He talked to us a little bit and told us to come to his house after we were finished. So we finished up and headed over and usually Brother Shin opens up his door with a big smile on his face and yells hows it going but he was silent. We sat down and since we are his foreign missionaries who know nobody in his life he just told us that he got back from the hospital and he was double diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and a special lung cancer. But he kind of cracked a small smile and told us that if he studies hard that he can fight the Alzheimer's and the doctor said that the lung cancer was early enough they could work with it for a while. He said the doctor gave him about 10-15 years if he did everything right but he just looked at us and said that he was already 80. His sons and daughters were all grown up and had families of their own, and his wife passed away 8 years ago. He told us that he was planning on passing away sometime during those years anyways so he had to realize that everything was fine and he was just shocked that he could find out such news. And Brother Shin has such strong faith in God. He has now been a Jehovah's Witness for 40 years now and still takes his small bag out full of magazines a couple times and week and talks to people on the street. He also has to be on of the most patient people I have ever met. It has been pretty interesting to meet him because he gives us our time to talk and he listens and reads everything that we ask him to but once we pass a part in the lesson where we bring up other church's, such as talking about the Great Apostasy, it just sets him off haha. He will go off for 20 minutes straight about every church and everything he feels like they do wrong. Elder Gibbons and I just sit and patiently listen because of the culture and He is a Grandpa (that is his title that people will call him in Korean if they don't know his name) and we are so young. So not that we ever focus on "how every other church is wrong" (because we don't and there's enough people in the world to do that) we have just been focusing more then ever on receiving our own answers from Heavenly Father. And it has been nice because we have had some great discussions with Brother Shin and he is one of the happiest old men that I have ever met. He told us the other day that believing in God is saying this church or this church is the best but he believes that outside of his own religion that Mormons are the best haha. And then he said, "Number 1" (for some reason Koreans love to say that) and it made all of us chuckle a bit.

   It has been really nice to spend time with Brother Shin though because he has seen so much. He speaks four languages right now and is working on English. He remembers very well when the Japanese were here and what life was like under the military government. He's full of the strangest knowledge about a lot of subjects that you would never think about. He taught us about Ginseng the other day and how there are two places in the world that are the best place for growing Ginseng haha. He has his little Desk in the corner of his room where he loves to study all day these days. He is also very determined to fight the Alzheimer's off by doing something he has always loved.

  I have just met some amazing people on my mission like Brother Shin.

   Well our little family is doing great and we are meeting with them tonight. We are also going hiking today on the coldest day of the year so far... it doesn't make sense to me. But I hope all of you have a great week and I love all of you.

   Well another week flew by and I really don't know what to tell you about. It was just all around a normal week. I guess i can be grateful for that. We had a lot of appointments cancel but we also met a lot of new people. We have been meeting our little family with the twin boys who are just hilarious. We designed our dream houses in english class and they made it pretty clear that they wanted slaves and not maids or butlers.... kids are too fun. Our little family is coming along pretty great. We meet them tonight and the two little boys love the Book of Mormon stories book. It's been really fun teaching kids about the gospel because you are a teacher to them. Everything you say is correct because they trust you. So we're trying to be very simple and clear and their mother has really appreciated it. I guess in their religious school they have been a little forced to learn a few things that their mom hasn't fully agreed with so it has been a little interesting teaching them. But Sister Kim loves the way we teach them and the boys absolutely love coming to the church to be with all of the foreigners.

   We also spent a lot of time this week with Brother Kim who has been doing so great. We went with him to the hospital to visit Brother Nam who will live in the hospital for the rest of his life. We got there and Brother Nam has been really sick this week and he couldn't have been more happy to see us. He was so happy to have a new visitor as well and him and Brother Kim could actually carry on a pretty great conversation. Brother Kim really enjoyed visiting him that he will be going back this week by himself. And Brother Kim was really able to open up more about his family. Right now Brother Kim is the only one who was baptized and he has felt a little opposition in going out to church but this time since he has been coming out he has been praying more and reading the Book of Mormon a lot more, and now it seems like his family is completely fine with it. He has had a lot of opportunities to actually talk about the gospel with his family now and He has loved coming out to all of the classes lately.

   We're still at the point of change in Korea these days. Every single talk we had at church yesterday was about doing missionary work. If you haven't read the power of everyday missionaries I strongly encourage you to do it. A Sister talked about when her husband brought it home and she thought it would be boring so she never started reading it. But last week she had some spare time and for some reason she just focused on the book and picked it up. She shared a really funny story about how her sons friends wouldn't come over often because they sometimes acted like brats and destroyed things. But as she changed her mind to now looking at them as people who aren't blessed with the gospel she has been having their families over for dinner and what not and they brought a family out to english class. All in one week She said that everything in the gospel just meant more to her this past week. Even waking up early for church to start the wrestle of getting her children ready was easier. She said now that there is a special spirit in their house they are dedicating themselves to living the gospel a little more and she is excited for the blessings in store for her family.

   It seemed like all we need here in Korea was just one week to experience this giant change. We are sitting here thinking about how close it is and all of us missionaries keep on hoping it will happen this week. And maybe the entire world feels like that right now with all of the talk about missionary work. But we all took a step back this last week and Korea has come a long way since I came to the mission. The change is happening and I'm so happy that I could be here for it. There's still so much room to grow but we're making progress over here with missionary work. And if it has to be one family a week that just means we'll be there in a couple months in this ward haha. The wards are a little smaller. I really hope I'm not recognizing this just because I'm a missionary but I really hope every member can feel that spirit when we go to church. When I came here I felt like we did have the missionary church and the member church but these days I actually feel like I'm attending church. They include us in everything and they work with our investigators. We had 4 people volunteer yesterday in priest quorum to come teach our little family.

   Well I love it here. We have a lot of work to do this week and I'm excited. I hope all of you have a great week and I know that we will. Love you.

   We had a pretty fun week here in Daejeon. I have no idea what's going on but it feels like every week that passes by the focus on missionary work is just growing. Our ward is a little small and on occasion there has been some of those awkward times during fast and testimony meetings so Bishop told us to be ready to talk if one of those silences came up but that time never came. Every member who stood up talked about how they shared the gospel this past month. We had a few investigators out to church as well and you could just feel the energy in the ward. Sorry I know I'm a missionary but there's a big change happening over here right now and we love it. One Sister in the ward even told a story of how she wouldn't buy her sons smart phones because they would turn into phone zombies, but after all of the training we have been receiving from the church, stake presidency, and ward she thought of drawing up a contract for her sons to have a monthly family missionary coordination meeting and discuss how they are using their new smart phones to help share the gospel. I was completely blown away the entire meeting. Another Brother got up and talked about President Uchtdorf's talk at general conference and how he had the same desire to actually be doing the work. So as he was working this past week in his family owned restaurant he got the opportunity with a long time friend and they are meeting twice a week and he's teaching him about the church. He told everybody how he has already planned the dates to meet with the missionaries and his baptismal date haha. Another Sister talked about bringing scripture study back into her family when they haven't been out to church for years. She made the decision to come back after she got home from New York and she was talking with her father and suggested reading the Book of Mormon together and they started to do that. She talked about how her family still isn't at church but that they all made one step together and it was an answer to her prayers.

   I was just blown away. We just watched each member get up over and over again and talk about these experiences and I couldn't have been more happy. A missionary goes to an area for 6-18 weeks on average and they are just being told over and over again to help the members with their missionary work. Missionary houses are a little creepy because we have a giant map with all the members houses labeled on it. We have a giant record book full of member records that have notes about the members from missionarys for years. Next to our Investigators we are thinking about members all the time. For missionaries they are just crushed when they have to leave an area but for members it's just another set of missionaries coming in haha. So as we make efforts to visit with members and try to help them as much as we can, we are so happy when members are doing missionary work and telling everybody in the entire ward about how happy they are.

   It was just an amazing week. And after all of those amazing experiences our phone was just going off from other missionaries giving us referrals for people who wanted to meet in our area. We also get to meet Tim and Kevin tonight (the two twin boys who have been coming out to english class). Sister Kim their mother has just loved bringing her three boys out every week. She told us on Saturday that all the boys ever talk about is Jensen teacher and Gibbons teacher (Teacher in Korean is a title that they have to stick with a name for respect on older men or just teachers) They even tell their friends at school she said. And I could not have been more blessed to get a couple packages this week for halloween. Elder Gibbons can be a little soft and got cornered by the twin boys and another younger girl from english class and they made him do a special pinky promise to exchange candy this week. But we HAD to bring american candy haha. So thank you so much Dannielle and Tawns because I can't imagine what would have happened to Elder Gibbons if we didn't bring american candy. because that Korean pinky promise means a lot. But Sister Kim told us how she has been just enjoying so much coming out to english class and she sees the other young men from our ward and how respectful they are. And she told us that she has been thinking about her sons having a religion and how it would be a great thing. So we scheduled to meet the boys twice a week and the whole family on the weekends. The father has had a lot of bad experiences with religion in the past so Sister Kim is really worried about that but he seemed like a really nice man.

   Well I'm excited for this week and we will be really busy. There's a lot of change happening over here and it's a great time to be in Daejeon. I love all of you and I hope you have an amazing week.

   What a wonderful week. Transfer weeks are always fun and this transfer brought a lot of great changes so we're all happy. And I don't know what happened but it seems like everything fell into place for every companionship this last week and there's just so much excitement going on in the Daejeon Stake for missionary work.

   Well we started off the week in a trio with Elder Peterson so it was basically a small version of the MTC. But between the Sunhwa schedule and the Doonsan schedule we were all over Daejeon for three days. Last week we ended up going to every area in the Daejeon zone except for one. We were just all over the place and had no time to do anything it felt like but it ended up to be a good time. Right off the bat on Monday night our schedules clashed and we decided to go with the Doonsan missionary's schedule. So we went to go visit a member and her husband who was in the hospital. They told us that they would be moving back to the area where she was baptized in a couple weeks but that her husband wanted to start taking the lessons and to be baptized. He told us how religion has been important to him his entire life and he wants to be with his wife in everything so he'll get baptized. It was so great to see them make that decision and we promised him how happy he will be with all of it. And this entire time their young little boy was just running around jumping on us and trying to beat us up. If you weren't looking he would kiss you on the cheek and just be a crazy little kid. So we just talked with them for a little while and headed out for the night with a great feeling knowing that an entire family will be living in the gospel together.

   After that we just had appointment after appointment. We went from last week with only one to this week with having our days planned about 90% of the time. We met with Brother Shin who is our older Jehovahs Witness. We have been having some great lessons with him and he's so excited to hear our messages. He does reassure us every time that he has been in his religion for 40 years and knows the bible forwards and backwards but he has really enjoyed the Book of Mormon lately. We had given him some of our family english pamphlets and when we met with him last week he introduced us to a family that he knows and we are planning on meeting with them this week.

   We also had english village out in one of our countryside branches last saturday. We had rooms set up like post offices, clothing stores, restaurants, and movie theaters. People would come in and we would only speak english and they would pretend to be in america for 3 hours. It was a ton of fun and Elder Gibbons and I were in charge of going out on the street and wrangling people in haha. And there we met Karen who lived in Texas for a year and was basically from america. She has studied about so many religions and she had some LDS friends back in Texas but she knew very little. She had actually started looking at the church websites a little over a month ago and reading a little bit about our church but she was surprised when we stopped her on the street. She stayed for all 3 hours and was happy to get a Book of Mormon and set up some times to meet with the Sister Missionary's down there. 

   That night we had to hurry back in time to make it to Joon's baptism. The Elder's in the office have been teaching Joon for a month now and I have met with Joon on splits about 3 times. I was also able to do his interview and saw him come out to all of the events we had this past month. But I couldn't believe how fast he progressed in the Gospel and was so prepared by the time he was baptized. I was sharing an experience of how I felt the spirit that week one time and it made everything completely worth it. And he stopped me and asked if the Elders had told me about his prayer experience and I said no. So he told me how he was praying 3 weeks ago and he just got the weirdest most comforting feeling and ever since then he decided to read, pray, and come out to church and he said that he's still getting used to that strange comforting feeling but he's going to do everything he's been taught to do so he can continue to feel that way. He also bore an amazing testimony at his baptismal service and now he's just part of the ward. Already has relationships and friends in the ward. He's been marking his scriptures and I'm not going to lie when I looked around the room at all the investigators there I saw young kids with piercings, old men who said their hobby was drinking, and others who have more than once told the missionary's that they are only there to learn english. I thought of how different they are in every way and Joon was the exact same with his beard and lifestyle. And all I could do is just remember what President Uchtdorf said during genreal conference. The church is designed to nurture the imperfect. These people don't have the dockers and button up shirts that most people assume we wear haha but these people are making the biggest changes in their lives to live according to the gospel and they slip up sometimes. But we can still see what direction they are heading in and I couldn't be more excited to see a room filled with all of those different people. And then I thought about how I slip up most of the time but I'm happy I am now in a place I need to be to learn the absolute most that I could from those experiences and have so much help from everybody around me. And now I'm happy for Joon and he seems so happy and is about to face some of the challenges that come with change. But he's in the perfect place to make all of the changes that he wants to make.

   Sorry i'm getting into the mood again where I'm just typing everything that comes to mind. There's so much that happened this past week that I want to tell you but times up. I have to get going but I hope all of you have a great week and I love all of you.

   Well another transfer day is here. And I will be staying here in the Sunhwa Ward with Elder Gibbons for another transfer. I'm so happy because I love this area so much. And as always our mission was flipped on it's head this morning with all of the news about transfers. But I'm so excited to see what's going to happen this next transfer. The only thing that really effects us here is we get a two man house and a smaller district.

   Well this week was a little slow but we were able to see some great miracles as always. It just took us a little longer to find those miracles haha. We had about 7 appointments cancel about 20 minutes before the lessons, so needless to say we studied how to plan better this last week. But we have just been dying to meet with Sister Kim and her two twin boys Tim and Kevin lately but we still haven't found a time. I was on a split with Elder Peterson the other night and we had one appointment cancel so we were off to go talk with our second councilor and put up some advertisements for free english and we found ourselves.... not particularly excited to do these things haha. We are both "old missionaries" but I would choose teaching a lesson over doing those other activities any day of the week. Well we were off to go put them up around town when I got a call from Sister Kim. She asked us if we could meet in half an hour and we turned right around and had a pretty big spring in our step and had the biggest smiles on our faces as we started to speed walk towards the church. Well for about four minutes I felt like a missionary that I imagined before the mission. We went straight to planning on how to teach, what kind of commitment we could give, and we were just happy to meet with this amazing family. For those four minutes, as we walked through the downtown part of our area surrounded by hundreds of people, not a single thing crossed my mind except how to do this lesson with this family we had been dying to meet. Well we got the call that said her husband had to go back to work suddenly and that we could meet next week and we turned around and got right back to the original back up plan with a little less excitement. But for those 4 minutes of just pure joy I felt like we were doing exactly what we were called here to do without a doubt. Don't get me wrong we spent that night talking to our amazing member for 20 minutes and talked to some pretty great people that night but I just want to teach haha. I guess that's where I'm in the wrong saying "I want" but I really do just want to meet with families and teach. I want to see how these people react to what were sharing them and see them make the steps towards Christ. Serving in Korea means that some companionships go for 2 or 3 weeks without teaching a single lesson out in the country side. It also means you could visit your entire branch in a week so easily with so much time left over that you still have to come up with some amazing plans to feel effective in your area haha. I'm just thinking about my second area as I talk about this. But I can see the desire in so many missionaries and how hard they work so hard just to teach that one lesson. Even when the first thing the person says is that they are only there to learn english and ask the missionaries to not speak Korean at all. I ask my district how we can help them every night and the common answer is that I can pray to help them meet their investigators and teach.

   Well I just read all of that and it might come off like I'm complaining but please don't think of it that way. I'm still happy to meet people out on the streets or visit with the amazing members of the Sunhwa Ward. I just enjoy teaching people about the gospel so much more. I love sharing with these people the thing that I myself am still learning and building my testimony in. I feel like all of my experience in the gospel comes from these past two short years in Korea but I have learned that you don't have to be perfect at something to try to teach it to others. The Apostles went fishing after Christ Died. I think we can all remember that talk by Elder Holland. Elder Holland even came to the MTC twice while I was there and labeled all of us missionaries as apostles with a lower case A. So we're out here learning still and we just want to meet people and teach them about what we ourselves are learning. It's a great time to be here. 

 I apologize for just writing everything that came to my mind again. It seems really scattered and it makes a lot more sense in my head (just like everything else). Maybe one day I'll learn how to convey exactly what I'm thinking but until then I guess you'll get these e-mails and have to put up with the craziness because I want to tell you about my week haha. I love all of you and I hope you have a great week. We will here in Korea.

   Wow I can honestly say that I felt the same way as President Monson in saying that was one of the most spiritual conferences I have ever been a part of. I spent the last two days inside the church with our members and other missionaries watching conference and we geared up for it for the past couple of weeks. We were out visiting a lot of people most days and inviting them to come out and have a great time. We saw so many miracles all weekend long and I couldn't imagine spending the weekend any differently. It was one of those weeks where everything came together and now I'm just sitting here with a smile on my face and a good attitude haha. I'm really grateful for everything right now and it almost seems as if everything seems great. There's nothing like feeling the spirit so strongly and receiving answers in so many different ways. So many miracles inside of our area that we all experienced and now we're blessed with so many new amazing people to meet and others who started to just progress. We met with so many new members who have not been coming out to church recently and they were amazing. Street contacting was just amazing this last week. District meeting was very spiritual, splits were full of miracles. On top of everything our saint of a member even dropped by this morning to give us a ton of food right when we were almost out, and talk about her nephew that has shown a lot of interest in the church and learning English. My e-mails conveyed that everybody is doing good back home and they are all happy. I figured out a lot about myself last week with life decisions and I saw others do the same. Everybody in my district worked miracles this last week and everybody had so much progression and I met all of the people we talk about nightly at general conference.

   I guess what I'm really getting at right now is that I am happy. I have received so much from so many. Probably the most important thing about all of these feelings I am having is that I'm just living with this happiness. I have learned on my mission that it is so easy to look back at how I've reached this point and justify why I can be happy with what I have been through, or even to look forward and think with a poor attitude that this happiness will probably go away this next week with hard times. There's so many things to distract me from feeling this happiness right now and who would ever want to do that. So what I'm really saying is that I'm just trying to live without distractions on what I feel right now, to keep a great attitude, and be very thankful for everything I have received lately and this is just another great thing that I have been trying to learn out here.

   Okay sorry I will calm down now. I just realized I basically typed any thought that would come to my head and that's how it turned out. But I guess I can tell you a little more about some of those miracles.

   So Friday night Brother Kim (I know I always say brother kim, lee, or park but it's such a common name) called us and said that we should go get dinner with him and he wanted to tell us something. So we came to pick us up and while we were driving to the traditional Korean mushroom soup restaurant he told us in a very quiet nervous voice that he had some plans to tell us but he could only tell us after dinner when we drove up the mountain. So of course I was a little nervous about the news and the plans he wanted to tell us but he said that we had to hurry and eat and drive up to a view point above Daejeon. I guess I have to let you know that when I came to the area Brother Kim had not been out to church since the time he was baptized and he was unfairly labeled by some missionaries as a member who just wants help with English. Well Elder Allan and I spent some time with him one time and he just showed up to church the next week. By the following week he was enrolled in some of the religion classes taught by members from around Korea. He has helped us with lessons, dropped off food for us when we were sick, shared testimony often, and even bought me a cheesecake on my birthday. Brother Kim has been experiencing a lot lately but when he told us that he had news and future plans in that kind of way we were a little nervous. He only just started coming out to church for a little over 2 months now and he had already expressed some difficulties about coming out. Well he took us up to the view point and we didn't have much time but we got up there and waited for a little bit. He finally said that he would tell us what he wanted to say. He pointed across the valley to the north side of Daejeon and asked us if we could see a giant monument on the other side of the valley. We said yes. He then told us that that area would be a perfect place for the temple in Daejeon. I can't explain the feeling of just peace that came to me and Elder Gibbons and he went on and on about the area and how Daejeon would be the perfect place in Korea  for another temple because it's the center of all travel in Korea. The neighborhood he chose is a perfect place because it's very clean and residential and the spot could be seen from almost every where in Daejeon. He also said it was close to his house so he could visit often.

   I could probably go on and on about this last week but I am out of time. I'm happy these days. I'm excited for this week because now we just have to go out and work harder. And don't worry. I'm not at ease and I know there's still a lot more progression to be made and I'm happy we get to help that out. I love all of you and I hope you have a great week.

   That was a crazy week haha. Well first of all I want to thank all of you for so many birthday wishes. I had a really great day on Saturday. I met two new investigators, had a party at english class, and I was sent home with a giant cheese cake that we finished up last night. It was a big difference from a normal birthday but all I wanted to do on Saturday was just work haha. And I almost got away with out anybody knowing about my birthday because there are two Elder Jensens in the mission.

   Well I started off the week with another split with Elder Lyons who is the office Elder. Nice to get those Elders out of the office sometimes haha. I did learn that I can't sleep on soft beds or with air conditioning. I tossed and turned until 4amand finally layed on the carpet concrete ground with another blanket and slept like a baby after that haha. But the best part of the split was not a single thing went according to plan but we saw some pretty great miracles. Through talking to a few people and walking with them we ended up right out side of the campus of a big university. They were having a giant fest on campus and as soon as we stopped talking to one kid a bunch of people standing at a table offered us alcohol so we thought we would just turn around and get out of there haha. Well as soon as we turned around I met one of the coolest students I have ever met. Who by some miracle has always wondered about our church and just has always had unanswered questions about religion. So we just said we could give him the answers to his questions according to our beliefs but the better thing would be going through our sets of lessons and just trying to see what kind of answers he could find for himself. He absolutely loved it and was completely blown away that we didn't start arguing about the bible or just tell him to come to church.

   We also had a couple of great english classes this week. As always Tim and Kevin the twin boys were a highlight on my week. I was conducting the class and Kevin just walks in and sits down next to me very quietly. I just said hello and asked him how he was doing. He responded in the exact same animated voice he used the week before, "I'm Kevin!" we all had a laugh and I asked him where Tim was. At that exact moment Tim walks in the back door of the room with the same animated voice saying, "I'm Tim!" People were almost falling out of their chairs. I asked Tim how he was and he said, "I'm 11!"  There birthdays were on the first so Elder Gibbons and I ducked out a little early to go grab choco pies and juice for everybody and we had a small party after class and everybody there was so great. We were also able to announce about general conference coming up this weekend and we actually have about half of the class coming out.

   Another miracle on the week was meeting Brother Song and Tom. Brother Song met missionaries 15 years ago when he was 20. He met a missionary named Elder Hart from california and that could not have been a bigger blessing. It turns out Elder Hart absolutely loved his mission and the Korean people. He adopted a small Korean boy and still makes a lot of Korean blogs and things like that. Well he was best friends with Brother Song 15 years ago but Brother Song had to go off to the military and when we returned home for leave he would always find letters from Elder Hart who still wrote him from America. They have been really good friends on Facebook recently and they have plans to have a vacation in America sometime soon. Well we have only met once but for some reason or another Brother Song wanted to learn about our church again. He hasn't told Elder Hart yet but he called our ward mission leader and we made the appointment to meet up. He has been confused between science and religion for sometime but right off the bat when he asked us a question about the creation we were able to just show him a scripture and talk about it for 10 minutes and he said that made sense to him. He told us the problem with religion is that you can't ask questions because you are just told to believe and listen in church. He asked us what it was like here and we told him about the class that our Ward Mission Leader teaches. He sometimes teaches out of the Gospel Principles book but he always starts off the class with asking for questions. So we just started to process with Brother Song and I am nothing but excited to spend this time with him and see what both of us can learn.

   I've been trying to write down every single miracle that I see in a day, and also the positive to every situation. It has just made me more able to see the good things in my life right now and it has been really nice to notice them more often. I love everything about my life here. I had a great week and I'm looking forward to this week. I wish it would just slow down already but I'll just have to work harder to make all of these fast moments count. I love all of you and I hope you have an amazing week.

안녕하세요?

   Well for some reason I keep on finding myself sitting here and e-mailing you and it feels like I just did it yesterday. But we had a pretty interesting week here in Daejeon.

   I started the week off with a split in the Samsung Ward. We have two elders over there trying to set up a foreigner branch and the was my first full attempt on what they call foreigner hunting haha. And I have always talked to foreigners if I see them but something about only aiming for foreigners was a pretty strange concept. But after a few awkward street contacts it turned out to be pretty fun. Us foreign missionaries do have this nice little wall called the Korean language. But it was just really different speaking English to teach lessons and street contact all day long. It was really nice to speak a little more freely but I think I still prefer the wall of the Korean language. We also taught some great people they are meeting with and it turned out to be just a great split. Nothing ever goes to plan on splits but I still love all of the craziness of splits.

   Another great time of my week was last Saturday. We were getting ready for english class and it was about to start and not a single person was there. This is after I kept on telling my elders quorum weekly that we had about 20 people coming out a week and that we needed members. Well the only person who was around thatSaturday was my Ward Mission Leader. So we were just waiting and within 3 minutes we had about 30 people show up. It was basically a parade going into the church. But my favorite part was the family that we met last week showed up and all of the little boys fell asleep in the car. Well the twin 11 year olds get out of the back and Tim was just so tired. So I asked him if he was tired and he just looked at me like who are you and walked into the church. I was surprised that somebody so young could give somebody a look like that. Then Kevin got out of the car and I asked him the exact same question and he responded in the loudest voice and as happy as could be "I'M KEVIN!" Those two boys are just the funniest little people I have ever met. We were able to meet with the entire family that night and they are just such a loving family. The Father isn't the biggest fan of religion but that's because Korea has been hit very hard with every type of religion right after World War 2 and I can see maybe 20 giant glowing red crosses from my balcony at night. And where the Korean people are very strong and blunt about the things they say sometimes they can end up in some arguments. But it's just like any other country and religion is always a touchy subject for a lot of people. We have just been talking with the family and telling them what kind of blessings all of it has brought into our life and the Father is just so nice to us. We basically told them that they are already an amazing family we just want to share more with them so they can have that opportunity to be even more happy through the gospel.

   Well that was my week pretty summed up. Our mission was hit by a pretty big flu this year and it made last week a lot more interesting. But we are all coming out of it pretty well and are excited for another week. I love all of you and I hope you have an amazing week.

Well that was a full week. It was the thanksgiving week here in Korea. It's called Choosuk 추석 and we spent all week with other missionaries and members. I didn't meet one of our investigators last week haha but that's what it was like last year at this time. But we were able to meet a new family this week and I already love them. It's a father, mother, two twin boys, and a baby boy. And the twin boys are 11 (9 in real age) and are so great at english haha. They have english names of tim and kevin and it's just absolutely crazy/perfect when we teach them english haha. They are so funny and they were begging their parents to not send us away when we left. The Father isn't the biggest fan of religion but we are just planning on taking it really slowly. And the mother just seems like a member already. She's so nice and they showed up for a meeting at the church and she was just out in the parking lot talking to a member like they were friends. We're really excited to meet with them this upcoming week.

   We also spent some time with Brother Kim who we have been working with a lot for the past couple of weeks. He took us up hiking last p-day and it was pretty fun. It was never ending stairs but once we got to the top we could see all of Daejeon. We're actually planning on going up there today with the District for an activity. But it was a great time to talk about Brother Kim's conversion story and what has been going on in his life. It turned out to be just really good time to get to know eachother and he told us when ever we want to go on mondays we could go hiking with him.

   We also had just meeting after meeting this last week but now we can get out and just work. We spent our time inside all day last wednesday, thursday, and friday. At first I thought it would be a nice time to rest up but being inside as a missionary is probably the worst thing haha. Well sorry not a whole lot happened this week but I'm excited to see what's going to happen this week. I love all of you and I hope you have a great week.

Elder Jensen











So the first picture is of us going up the "never ending staircase". The second was a food called Kimbap. I couldn't even finish my first one on the bus ride from the airport to Daejeon when I came to Korea. Now I love them. And the last picture is of us going down the "never ending stairs". (much easier)

   Hey everybody! There goes that week super fast and I'm back here e-mailing you. It was another great week here in Korea. I'm with my new companion Elder Gibbons and it's pretty nice already knowing my companion so we don't have that awkward getting to know each other time period.

   It was pretty nice this week though. This is probably my first area that it has been really easy to find in. We hang up flyers around the city for our english program and our phone just goes off for the next couple of days. The problem we've had with that is pure english interest these days haha. We have been reminded that we aren't english teachers quite a lot lately from our mission president so it's been a fun time here in Daejeon. Daejeon really is an interesting city though. My area is absolutely huge. It's all city as well and there's just so many people. It's the older part of the city so there's a lot of apartments and we have the really nice downtown area where we have done a lot of street contacting activities. It's just a really nice combination and there's so much potential in this city. We have just been focusing on the ward while we have been here though and it's starting to show with the missionaries working a lot closer with the members. And if you think you're hearing a lot about member missionary work (you might not be) well it's being pounded into our heads over here haha. And I mean if you look at all of the people who have joined the church in our mission and stayed around about 90% is through the members. So we are told all this information and so are the member's here and then they tell us to do the work. It sounds pretty straight forward to me but there's just a small obstacle still in the way and what that is I have no idea. I have heard a million different thoughts and maybe they are all right but maybe they are all wrong so I guess all we can do as missionaries is keep on trying. It would be nice to have all the answers layed out in front of me but where's the fun in that.

    Well sorry I got off on one of those "deep thoughts" that I have been having lately. My favorite thing lately has just been to work though. I'm sure that surprises my family. That and I'm a cleaner in my house. But my last companion and I just did the things missionaries do such as street contacting and knocking doors and we have seen so many miracles come through it. We definitely  involved a lot more member work and that's the best thing we could have been doing but I realized how much I need a young missionary these days haha. They just have energy and want to go talk to people on the streets all day long. It can be a pretty good time. Don't worry though we actually plan a little better than that but with all of these meetings we have been having lately and all the talk that is going around it's nice to get out and go to work. I think that world wide broadcast talked about how the real work happens when we leave our meetings and go out and work. Sorry I can't remember it really well but we have a week full of meetings ahead of us. We have combined district meeting tomorrow, zone meetings all day wednesday and friday, Our p-day on Thursday because this week is the Korean Thanksgiving. I don't understand where everybody goes but the giant cities turn into ghost towns in Korea and everybody goes back the the country side to spend time with their family. So our entire mission to spend that time more effectively will be having meetings all day…. So I'll enjoy my free time today to work. 

   I do have a few stories I want to tell all of you about though. So with Elder Allan leaving we were able to meet pretty much everybody in about 3 days. We just had appointments after appointments this last week. I think what I have really loved here is working with all of the members who haven't been coming out to church for a while. We had an appointment with Sister Go this last week and we have just started working with her to help her. She really enjoys the church and knows that it's great for her to be going out but she just felt like something was missing. Well we were on our way home trying to go fast so we just met her with our recent convert out on the street and we just talked for a little bit. Elder Allan wanted to say goodbye but we were just talking. Elder Allan just asked about her faith after she said the Book of Mormon was no fun. It didn't even seem like that big of a question because they were joking a little bit but she wanted to start with baby steps to come back out to church. So the really interesting part was that when she came out to english class for the first time in months and months she asked me about Ether 12:12. I was just completely blown away that she picked up the Book of Mormon when she didn't even have one in her house for years. I asked why she started studying again and she said that the question Elder Allan asked in passing kind of stuck in her head until the next morning so she decided to "try". That's the only word she would use. It was just such a great thing to see because she was completely surprised by the fact that she picked up the Book of Mormon as well but we just talked about faith and she has been studying daily ever since that day.

   Well I'm blessed here in Korea. I'm not exactly sure why I can meet some of these people that are just so amazing but I guess I'm not really going to complain about it and just keep trying to meet them.

   I love all of you so much and I hope you have a great week!

   Well another transfer call pday and I am actually staying here in Daejeon in the Sunhwa ward. I do have a pretty interesting companion though. So I don't know if you can remember or not but when I was in the MTC we had a friend Elder Gibbons who went home. Well he came back to the mission a few transfers ago and now he's going to be my companion.

   Other than the transfer news we had a really great week last week. We also saw some pretty great miracles. We pretty much knew Elder Allan was going to leave so we used that to our advantage to visit a lot of people and talk to a lot of the people we were working with. One of my best friends here who's name is Minnie has been working with missionaries for a very long time. Well we talked to her the other day after english class and Elder Allan is just amazing with people. But we just listened to her. We listened to her and I think that has made a giant difference with everybody we have been working with. Elder Allan and I have been doing training lately these days and it's not because I'm an "old experienced wise missionary" (trust me I'm not) but I tell him the common mistakes I have seen as a missionary. Missionaries who sit down and use a form as a check list to see what they have to teach people. If you're familiar with missionary work you have seen those forms before. We also focused a lot these week on asking questions and listening. It was completely different. Elder Allan did such an amazing job with it that we just saw some amazing things. But I also had to give a talk yesterday in sacrament so a few of our members who haven't been coming out to church helped me with my talk and came out to see me stumble my way through the Korean to give the talk. And our member's absolutely loved these people. Minnie has to be the most popular person in the ward and she has so many friends. I was completely blown away. There are so many amazing people that we have been working with who have some of the best relationships with the other member's but for some reason or another they haven't been coming out to church. We also had brother Kim come out the last 3 weeks and he's planning on introducing us to his family sometime. And the exact same thing happened with Brother Kim and the members. They absolutely loved having him there and it was such a welcoming for him to come out.

   Without even noticing it these two amazing people had such a great time at church and I'm just praying they will keep on coming out and having a great time. Minnie even blew our bishop a kiss as we were leaving and he has to be one of the best people I know because he just caught it and blew one back and made Minnie just lose it. It was such a great day at church yesterday.

   We also had a great time with our Bishop this last week. He took us out the other night for some dog soup and we had the best talk about the ward. Our Ward hasn't been exactly known for missionary work ever but Bishop Lee is just the best. I've never had this kind of relationship with my Bishop and Ward Mission Leader before and it makes such a difference for working. They are really active with contacting some of the members who haven't been out to church for a long time. Especially with some of the new rules for visiting less actives where we can only go with members unless we already have a good relationship with them, makes visiting a little difficult. But they are very active and we are seeing a difference.

   Life is great and I hope everything is going great for all of you. I love you and I love being here in Korea.

   Here I am again haha. Another fast week and a lot happened but I'm not exactly sure what to tell you about. We did have a few interesting meetings this week. So as a district we all head over to a very busy place and we do surveys on religion and english, or we just go out and set up a table and street boards and talk to people once a week. It's really fun and I'm sure a lot of missionary's probably didn't have these kinds of activities but Korea is a pretty great place. Well we went down to the busy part of my area last week and set up pretty much all of the activities. We do have a 16 missionary district so we set up a few stations and it turned out really nice. It was a vacation day because it was Korea's independence day so there was a flash mob of kids from a arts high school and they played one of the most amazing songs I have seen. But as they were packing up to leave I was asking people to fill out some surveys and I just hear "hello Elder are you from Utah?" This little high school kid who is really good at English was standing there with his friends. I was just blown away and we just talked for a little bit. Well turns out that he did a home stay program with a family up in Idaho and they were all really active members of the church. We couldn't talk long but he just told me how he would go out to church with the family and how he was just Mormon when he lived there. It was sad that he had to leave fast but I got his contact information and he took a 45 minute train to come to Daejeon to meet us last night. It was such a fun lesson because he knew everything about us. So it basically came down to just talking about how he felt when he was going to church. He really surprised us by saying he felt just safe at church in Idaho and he felt the same way when they would read the Book of Mormon every night as a family. It was such a fun lesson and he should be coming to our YSA activity tonight for the stake.

   We just met a bunch of new people just like that kid all week long. And we had some great meetings. We did had our Recent Convert in our ward come out to one lesson to help us but our investigator wasn't able to make it. But we hadn't eaten all day so our Recent convert just took us out to dinner and he really needed it. When he came he was really quiet when he is usually so sarcastic and loud. So it gave us a great opportunity to just have dinner with him and we talked a lot. It basically came down to it was just one of those days where he didn't feel too great and him and Elder Allan have the best friendship so after about half an hour we were all just laughing again.

   That has to be one of the best things about missionary work these days. We are meeting so many new people and building really great relationships. We were talking with our other recent convert who is preparing to go on a mission and he really loves being with the missionaries. We go with him every week to visit a member who is in the hospital to give him the sacrament and he's probably one of the best people that I know. High school seniors are the busiest kids every in Korea but he still finds a way to tell his teacher that he's sick and leaves the study time to come out and do a survey with all of us missionaries. I really hope that we aren't affecting his study and his education but he has been preparing so much to go on a mission when he finishes high school. I wish I would have taken that time as seriously as he is right now and he hasn't even been a member for a year. I absolutely love the new people I get to meet and talk to on a daily basis.

Well I have to get going. I'm spending the entire day cleaning and rearranging the house. I'm sure that my family did not believe that I would do something like that but I'm exciting to clean haha. I love all of you and I hope you have a great week!

Eightieth Week Email

안녕하세요?

   Well there's another week that flew by. I can't even begin to tell you how much happened this week. It felt like every plan we had all week long fell through but by the end of the week we actually had a lot happen.

   I went on about 3 splits this last week so I think that's probably why I didn't feel like anything happened in my area but we saw a lot of miracles this week. I had one of the most confusing moments of my life. I had 5 different really old men calling me daily and wanting to do the english program. And every single one of them had a really thick accent and apparently they all thought I was fluent because they spoke really fast haha. Well after we finally got everything planned out we get to english class a my phones starts going off because nobody can find the church. So I went out trying to find all of these older men and it was a pretty interesting time when I have been in the area for 2 weeks and my companion is a new missionary. But after all of that confusion we actually sat down with Brother Yang who has to be one of the most receptive people I have ever met. He would listen really well and than think for a few seconds and would ask the best questions. He would actually connect some of the dots in his head as far as why we believed this way and why we believe that way. At the end of the lesson he just told me that he had always wondered about the mormon church and he said that everything so far sounded great to him. He had a lot of similar beliefs about religion. We then talked about his beliefs and he brought up some really good questions that he has always wondered about.

   Just like I was blown away by learning a new language and learning how much it takes to understand a new language, I think I have been equally blown away by what it takes to teach. Teaching is still probably one of my weaknesses, but I have never taught the exact same lesson twice. Of course it's because people are different but just being in a mission where every missionary talks about how they teach and how this method is good for this situation and this method is good for this other situation, most of these methods just end up contradicting one another. So now I have come to the conclusion that I can prepare as much as I can and I can have a plan in place but when I finish the lesson, we talked about nothing I had planned. That's where the spirit comes into play with everything I'm trying to do these days. I've seen a lot of people say my way is best and others argue with that but I'm basically at the point where if I could do everything God's way I would be the happiest person in the world. I know that I have to use all of the knowledge and experience He has given me and try my hardest but there are some days where I would rather just know what He wanted us to do here and I could just follow haha. I guess that's why I really like that quote of "pray as if it all depends on God, and work as if it all depends on you." Well that's Elder Jensen's thoughts of the week. It probably makes a lot more sense in my head but I guess we'll see how you think about it. I can see so many faults in my self and things I need to work on but they can become strengths so now I'm just trying to follow God's path for me. Mainly because my path doesn't work out a lot of the times haha.
 
   Well I love all of you and I hope you have a great week. I'm already looking forward to this next week.
