New Area! New Companion!

Hello everyone!


Hope 2017 has been treating you well so far! This week was super exciting for me.  I made it a goal to find two new investigators before my birthday and I had already found one last week.  So I set out to go find another with Elder Jang.  So last Monday night we had 20ish minutes to go jundo (stickerboard) on the streets before going home, and we had to get two contacts to meet our goal.  So we set out to do it.  We got the first one pretty fast, first guy we talked to, which means it's a gunna be a good jundo sesh.  

We kept going and right before we were gunna call it quits I talked to this guy, his name was ChoiGapsoo.  He told us that he had met missionaries 28 years ago and had gone to church a bunch but wasn't a member, and then he promised that he would show up to church on Sunday! Which he did!  

Later on in the week there was a man that we had talked to before and saw us walking so he came and talked, turns out his mom is sick in the hospital and that's where he was going.  So we talked a bit about the plan of salvation and he said to call him next week and we could meet again!

So there it was.  Three new investigators in the past two weeks.  It was a real testimony builder that the Lord prepares people for us.  If we try our hardest he will do the rest.  He'll put people in our paths, He will help us with anything we ask for.  So I had three new investigators... and then transfer call night.

I won a Snorlax in a claw machine!

My friend Jason, who is coming to visit you!

Andong Branch Mission Leader


I've been called to a new area, I'll be serving in Miryang.  Sorry my keyboard doesn't work so I can't type it in Korean.  My new companion is Elder Barnett.  He's from Idaho, he has a little brother and sister.  We literally just met an hour ago so that's about all I know and I don't have a pic yet haha.  Our area is a branch, about the same size as Andongs branch, so 20-30 members each week in church.  It's super countryside, even more than Andong! So I've been blessed to work in two of the most countryside places in the mission for my first two transfers!  I'm super excited for the chance to be in a new area and to serve with a companion that's more experienced then me, I've been told he's a great missionary and I'll learn a lot of Korean with him! It's gunna be fun!

So that was my week! Super fun! I hope you all have a good week! You're all in my prayers, remember that the Lord loves you!
