Subject: Love you.

Hello everybody. Yes i got my new comp. His name is Elder Choi. He is from Korea. Yes he speaks the Korean, Chinese, and English. He has lived in the US for 5 years now. His family is in Utah. This kid eats a lot. He is a really tine guy too. He can cook really good. I have never had so much rice in my life. I'm Pro at Chop sticks now too. He is a lot of fun. It is his 2nd transfer. so he is still really new. He tries really hard. He still has a little problem talking to people some times. He found out that he has allergies. Its he has a hard time sleeping when he can't breath. Its a lot of fun.I'm Senior Comp. It's a lot of work to be the one making all of the choices. So Monday was just a bad day. I don't know why. Every one was just mad at the world that day. Not too much has happened this week. so there is not going to be a lot to talk about. We are working really hard to find people to teach. We are getting a lot of P. Invest. But not much comes from them. We are trying really hard to work with the ward to get them to want to do missionary work. Oh ya I almost forgot to tell you that Elder Scheallings bikes were Stolen last week. It was the last day of the transfer. They were chained to a sign post and when we came back they were gone. I think that they just pulled the sign up and took the bikes. They were nice enough to leave Elder Scheallings bike helmet in the middle of the road. So for now we are just using members bikes. If i see the stupid person that took my bike I think I will beat the crap out of them. Don't worry I will take off my Name tag first. Well i got to go i love you and miss you all

Subject: want to help me find my nuts?

why hello fam. how are you all doing? things are good. So i just found out that I'm going to be staying here is Fair Oaks. I will be getting a new Comp. I Have no clue how to spell it. I do know who he is. He is from Koran. I hope he speaks better English then when i me him the day he came in. I'm now the Senior Comp. I hope i don't suck at it. So this week has been good. we had some good things happen. So we had this appt. with this in-active in the ward and her nonmember hubby. She is from Hawaii. I had a great talk with her about Hawaii. Her fam. gets very home sick. So today she is having us over to have some Hawaiian food. It will be good. They are really nice. So we have this Gay guy that we are working with. He is a really nice guy and knows that being gay is not how to live his life. He is a member. He is working really hard to not be that way. This was great, so Elder Foresburg ( The DL) and I Where on exchanges and We were tracting and we met this guy He was way nice. He was way stuck in his ways and we totally Confounded him. We said things that he could not refuse. It was great and in the end we got a hug out of it. "we are all brothers in Christ Jesus!" that was fun then we did the something to his next door buddy. It was a great day. The spirit is sooooooooo Great. So we have this lady named Betty that live like 3 Houses down from the Hawks. She is soooooo like you mom it is scary. We asked her if she would like to take the missionary lessons. She said that she would let us know. She could be a Mormon sooo easy. This one guy named Bob we had a lesson with today. He's really smart. When ever we would ask a question he would just go around it. we could never get a strait answer out of him. So we just left. Now we are going to go play soccor in the gym. I hope I don't through myself on the ground like last time. Its a long story. Maybe next time. So that's about it for now i love you and miss you tons.

Subject: The pizza guy's got 2 min.

We are see a lot of good things this week. I know that the Lord is blessing us. So we have this girl named Julie in our ward that was just Baptised like last Sat. She is the best member missionary ever. She was sharing the gospel before she was even baptised. She is trying to get her mom to take the lessons. She got her mom to let her take her little brother to church with her now 2 times, and she has had 2 of her really good non-member friends for us to teach. We taught John the 2 lesson and David the 1. They were both really good lessons. They both said that they would read and pray. They were both so excited. the sad thing is that they were both here just for that day. They both had to go back to school. but we did get a new invest. I have not met him yet. they found him when we were on exchange. and now we have a lot of P Invest. that we are going to go back and try. Things are starting to look up. Oh and we have a Skunk living in our back yard. Ya that is a lot of fun. We are just sitting there and it just goes walk in by. we were like what the crap. Well that's about it for this week. i love you all and miss you soooo much.

Subject: You are so beautiful to me. Stand back Harry

i'm going to shoot him. Stand down this one mine.

So things are going good. We are trying everything we can to get a new invest. Its really hard to get people to want to live with their family forever. I don't know i would think that people would want that. What a turd. So this week we went to a part member family and we had this big plan on how we were going to ask the dad to take the lessons. So we wanted to do it with out the whole family there so we had sure that he had to come and pick us up and take us to our next appt. so we go and have a really fun and funny FHE. and that it over and we ask if we can get a ride to our next appt. and he said that he would. so we are just having small talk in the car and then Elder Schaelling asked if he had ever taken the missionary lessons and he said no. Then we asked if he would like to. Nope. Are you kidding me I don't know what to do with these people. I just need a hug.So were tracting this one street and we met this guy Ted. He was way nice. He was one of those kind that just think your soul is lost. He was like i want your name before you leave so i can pray for you. He is the kind this is in the BOM 2 Nephi 29:3-4. you will see what i mean. Then later we met this other guy at has a Granddaughter that is on a mission in Texas. So he was like i guess i have to let you in. He don't think that there is a God. We gave him a Ch. to read in the BOM and he said he would read it. But he didn't want us to come back. So that's about it for now. I love you all and miss you.

Subject: "Maybe its a tumor." "Its not a Tumor."

So things are going good for the most part. We are trying everything to get new invest. and we just can't seem to get any. We are doing really great with the card holders. I don't think I told you about the card holders. Its this new thing that we are doing. We are now going to locol store and taking these card holders. They have a bunch of pass along card and we ask the owner if they would like to have it in thier store. We have been given 6 so far. We have given all 6 out. we only had to go to 8 places to get them all out. We have been talking to some of the other missionarys and they said that they can't get theirs out. I don't think we are doing anything diff. So the other week one of the members of the ward gave her testimoin on my duck voice. No Joke. We went to her house on the day of the really big snow storm and shovled theirs and the people next door. and Then they asked us to come in and have some dinner. By the way her husband is not a member. and he was the one that made us dinner. and some we and just talking about some random stuff, and i tell then that i'm a twin. Well the Sis. Rickard is also a twin. her twin died like 3 years back. She said that she had been thinking a lot about her twin a lot. Later she is talking to my comp and i'm talking to the kids and i start to talk in duck. She looked shocked. Then she said that her twin could do that. Then she asked me to call her pumkin in the voice. Her twin would do that. so i did. It had a really big impacked on her. Im glad that voice is good for some thing. We are thing to teach Bro. Rickard. We want to ask if he has taken the lessions. We just don't know how. We are having some nice things happen. We were out tracting and this one lady, that didn't speak english very well, asked us to come back and teach her the bible. That will be fun to see how that truns out. The one invest. that we did have we found out that we can't even teach him. He is only 17, and he don't want to bring it up with his family. So he wants to keep the BOM that we gave him hiden. and just wait until he is 18. That is great that he still wants to learn. Just sad that we have to wait. His family don't speak english ether. So we well see what happens. We are going to play Volleyball today and is hope that i don' t get one in the face like I always do.LOL Well thats about it for now. I love you all and miss you. your fav. missionary in DCSouth.
