yah im undercover no badge no book of mormon just backpack and my planner it is sweet i have never taught so much on my mission yet. I have fire bum from all the korean food my comp is cooking. He took me to a thai restaurant and it was so hot i almost threw up my eyes were crying i am weak sauce now ya all we teach is students we just teach and if we dont teach we just find on the university we are finding alot of people it will just take some time to baptize them because they had no beliefs before. Its funny sometimes when i talk to the aussy girls, and i ask for their number then they get all flirty with me and i have to set them straight" mate im a missionary, so i can only teach you not go out with you..." yah i got some funny stories anyways i will go hard.

Hey my fellow homies we had a baptism yesterday it was

awesome he is from bejing we have been teaching him for

about 8 weeks he was atheist at first...wow. i really didnt

think it could happen i cant tell you how many atheist people

i have taught here.. the spirit really can change you it was

great i was lucky enough to be able to confirm him a member

of the church. i remember the first time i met him on the street

he said, um ya i will learn but i have no desire to come to church

i said ah well give it a go see if you change. and the first lesson

we were able to invite him to pray and after he felt peace and

it was all gold from there it was an incredible expirience...we 3 are

from different parts of the world different backgrounds, But all met

up in the same country to follow the same gospel. the true and living

gospel.

yah things are great we are just teaching teaching teaching finding finding finding.

Im still with my korean tae kwon do master ehhh im going to make him teach me

that and also how to cook delicious korean food. the time just flys in this area

there is so much work to be done that you cant really think straight. this week was awesome

we had elder pearson from the 70 come and give us a training and during his training he gave a

deep as doctorine of prayer and how it is supposed to be done, and then said? who wants to now

come up here and teach me how to pray....? silence... I say lets go elder seok daddy!

we walked up there and he just stared at us hahaha it was nerve wracking he gave us a scenario

and said teach me i looked at elder seok and he said i no understand his words out his mouth...

i said we just teach him how to pray.. and we did our best elder pearson looked at me and said, when

you elders speak to me i feel the faith in jesus christ that both of you posess great job then we gave

each other a hi five... it was awesome. Later we had a meeting and he was role playing with one of my old

companions elder watkins and me and elder watkins were like brothers we know each others stories. and

elder pearson looked at him and said elder watkins i know that you have a life changing spiritual expirience

and i need you to share it with me right now.... elder watkins looked straight at me because i was the

only one that knew...but elder watkins wouldnt share the story. elder pearson began to basically read elder watkins

thoughts...it was a bit creepy i was just like wow this guy is leggit it was hektek. a sweet miracle this week was our

investigator jerry an atheist kid from mainland china...he had been praying all week and explained

that he still had no belief in god..we asked if when he prays he listens? and he said no. so we got him to pray and

ask if god was there and to listen....after a minute he said in the name of jesus christ amen...he looked at us

and said i felt it! he was dumbfounded it was a miracle haha, his desire changed instantly and now from being one

of our toughest investigators to one of our best it was awesome, this are going great im loving this things are really

good right now.

this week was swell we had a baptism this weekend,

and on saturday the baptism was at 600 and we had

already called colette that afternoon, but i had the
impression to call her again... and when i called her

she told me that her sister just called her and informed

her that her grandmother died....what an exciting day

to be baptized...? we asked if she still wanted to do it

she said yes and we were very impressed with the faith

she exercised. instead of anger at god she wanted to

come closer. It was a very nice expirience. Elder seok

confirmed her in his broken 3 month english...i havent

heard a better confirmation. Later in the week on sunday

we taught this chinese hard case william and we shared

with him miracles and the restoration... he felt the spirit

when we asked him...he was silent. he said, " I didnt feel

anything." we stared at him and i said i know you did.. elder

seok says, dont you lie william because spirit of god tell

us you feel god... william put his head down and accepted the

invitation to read and pray everyday. It has been great with this guy

we have been really patient with him really taking time and it is working.

anyways i dont know what i need to do for school all i know is I want to go

but i dont know where and i dont know what i want to learn i dont want to go

to slcc i just want to start over. we can talk more about it on mothers day.
