 Oh I love the Klatts! Tell them they rock and Spencer is going to do awesome freezing in canada. :) haha I can't believe he leaves so soon! Megan leaves way soon too! So crazy! The new stake president sounds like a boss! But the old one was only in for like a year! What the! And that story is crazy. Oh tell me how that is. I love that temple. :) haha my companion is doing good! I'm really proud of him. He's a super solid missionary. I need to be more like him. :) no new investigators yet. But we are looking to get things going this week. I think it'll start to look up.

Monday was 추석 (Choosuck) it's the biggest holiday in korea. Well like one of the two. It's like thanksgiving and christmas basically. SO yeah. Anyway, after email and stuff we went to like the only restaraunt which was open which happened to be one that we go to all the time haha. Then we went shopping and then we went home and just relaxed. That was kinda boring but like i got to clean our house up a little bit so that was good. then we had dinner which i butchered so like that ws super funny. but oh well. then we went to find less actives and they usually aren't home but this time 4 out of the 5 we visited were home! Well they had all moved but we confirmed that 4 of em had moved! Haha it was pretty effective! then we were able to talk to a nice old couple and stuff but um yeah! That's pretty much it for monday! Oh hey. thank you so much for sending the family pics. You're the best. Tuesday we had a giant mission conference! That was super fun! It was at youngdeungpo. that was cool. we had some training by president morrise and by his mission president who was a seventy for a while. He's super funny. I thnk his name is 한인성 Han Insung. He's super good at english like fluent. haha it's crazy. he was baggin on english and stuff and he's like hey but ya know like it's fine that there's not really any rules in english cuz it's a free country and you can do what you want. got us. then we had lunch and got to see everyone. so that ws way fun to see all my friends in the mission. i've actually made a lot. kinda crazy. then we went to a huge park and stuff and that was fun. we talked to a bunch of people, weere able to give away a book of mormon and then we came back and had dinner and a talent show. That was aweosme. i love talent shows. It was mostly music and stuff but there were some funny skits. And yeah that took all day! haha so then we came home!

Wednesday was good. We had our studies and then we went to get lunch as a district before district meeting. Then we had district meeting which was way fun. Elder Pruner is a good district leader. He's a lot of fun and really brings the spirit. I like his trainings. We talked a lot about faith which is what i'm studying a lot so it's been good. i don't think that sentence makes sense. but that's alright. then we had dinner and then got raedy for english class and that was cool. then we bought apples and stuff for it cuz since it was still that holiday we just had a party for the people who came. So we had snaks and played bingo and hangman and other games. it was a super fun english class. But yeah! Thursday was good. WE had to go get elder dayley's foreigner card. So we went to 목동 which is right next to my last area. You might remember it. haha anyway we got to see elder champion my companion from the MTC so that was fun. I love him. He's a super good missionary. anyway after that we got lunch together and then came home and had our studies. then we went out and visited one of our potentioal investigators. He was just super busy so we couldn't make too much progress with him. Then we had dinner and then met our recent convert 이승룡 (Lee SeungYong). he's awesome. He taught us the whole 2nd lesson so that was awesome. then we went and talked to people for a little. Had this weird guy cam eup to us...yeah anyway haha that's it for thursday. 

Friday was good! We had our studies and then we had weekly planning and that was good. Set some good goals for this week that are hopefully gonna get us some new investigators and improve our korean ability so i'm hopin! haha then after that we called people but no one really wanted to meet us sadly. then we went out to find less actives and that was way hard. the area around our house and church is a maze. haha there are so many streets that are just way to small for cars. it's crazy. that was super cool. Then we had a practice lesson with Brother 안성철 (Ahn SungChor). He's in the bishopric. He's a way nice guy. He was baptized when he was in college. Anyway, elder dayley did a really good job teaching. He's getting a lot better at korea. so that was awesome! But yeah! Saturday was fun! We got up and went to soccer which was way fun. I love soccer. i've started to get okay at it now! I scored a goal and had a super awesome assist! Haha i think you woulda been proud mom. :) maybe I'll play dad when i get home. But i don't want him to break his hip again so maybe we'll stay away from that. ;) ha anyway, lame joke. okay so after that our bishop took us to subway. that was delicious! i love it. Just like i'm back in my freshman days at byu where i ate it everyday cuz i had so much money thanks to the meal plan haha. after that we came home showered and had our studies. We had an appointment but it was cancelled cuz he had work suddenly come up. lame. but oh well. then we went out and dropped a note off at one of our members houses and then we went to the park where we had some 신천지 (Sheen ChunJee which means new world) missionaries come up to us and basically tell us why our church was wrong. But that's okay. Suffering shame for christ right? Their doctrine is actually super close to ours minus it being the true church and stuff haha. like they have a living prophet or so they think. but yeah. so they are intense. Elder Dayley did a really good job dealing with them though haha he pulled out the whole a bible a bible scripture in the book of mormon i was so proud. then right after that this guy came up to us and was like hey what were those two ladies saying?? So we told em they were missionaries for their church and so we started talking to this guy and were able to give him a book of mormon so that was awesome! I felt way accomplished. haha then we had our weekly coordination meeting with our ward mission leader. 

Sunday was fun too. Good way to end the week. We got up and had personal study then went to the church and greeted the members. I love our ward. They're so awesome, way supportive. Church was good too! Our recent convert couldn't come again though. ah so lame. But he's had valid excuses. The last few weeks he's been going down to visit his mom like i told ya last week. so that's solid. Then after church we came home and had lunch and the rest of our studies and then we were able to do our evaluation thing where we teach the first lesson. And have i said i'm proud of Elder Dayley in this email? Haha he's doing really good. So if you ever talk to his parents which i don't know why you would but if you do, then you can tell him i said that. :) haha he taught really well. He's really good at korean for how young he is and he's studying really hard. he's gonna be good. then we went to a members house for a meal appointment. That was way fun! I loved it! They're a  way gungho missionary family. so we were able to share a message on prayer, alma 34:17-27. if you want you can look it up, it's way good. just pray always. so we comited them to pray for missionary opportunities as a family and always have that same prayer in their heart. :) So hopefully they do! And yeah that was our week! let me know if there's anyhting else you wanna know! I've been having really good personal studies lately like i've made a plan for how to make the next 9 months the best yet and i'm hoping elder dayley's greenie fire will help me to get it started and going well. :) I think things are on the up for us here in korea. :) I'm loving the missionary work and everything. Korea is the best. Let me know about the pictures. But yeah! Have a good week ya'll. :) PS. byu stadium was way awesome. That was way classy. I love america. 

Love,

Elder Breinholt^^

Yeah I read that article! It's super good. Gotta love korea. :) Oh haha sorry. No I'm still in 노량진 (Noryangjin). Sorry I think i meant to say that me and Elder Pruner, we lived in the same house when we were greenies in pyeongtaek but now we are living together in this area. :) so it's super fun. What the! Jolene works with Elder Dayley's dad? That's super crazy haha.  Oh no way! Hey I don't even think that i knew Spencer was going on a mission...haha where is he going? The mission is going good! This week was good! Well sorta haha no one is getting baptized-yet. I love you guys too. :) Okay so our week!

Monday was P-day! Hey actually you guys will be so proud of me. I filled up the 2 journals that i brought with me and had to buy another one! So yeah! But monday after email we went shopping and then i gave my self a haircut which was good until i asked Elder Dent to cut the sideburns. He straight up cut em off. On accident haha it looks pretty dang bad. It's kinda funny though so that's okay. I'm fine with it. Good memories. THen we went out to visit our recent convert 이승룡. he's doing good but his mom is super sick. she's probably going to die here soon. so that's super sad. He's like 57 so that means she's probably around 90. :/ Then we taught him the first half of the restoration lesson. So we taught him about God, families, prophets and Jesus Christ. It went really good! Elder Dayley, i'm so proud of him haha. he taught super well. Especially for how young of a missionary he is. So he's doing really good. His korean is super good. I'm impressed. But yeah! I felt the spirit. It was good. It was super loud though. Haha we meet him right outside of a convenience store on a huge road and it was raining so like it was way loud haha. but it was okay. :) Tuesday we had our studies and then went out to talk to people. We went to the super big park in our area and tried talking to people. We talked to a chinese guy who knew korean about as well as i do so haha it was fun. Then we went to the other side of the park and i got a phone call so i answered it and 2 seconds later when i hung up some guy was talking to Elder Dayley so we started talking to him and then I got to bear my testimony to him about the Book of Mormon and fist vision but he didn't want to meet again. He really liked what we said though! So that waas interesting! After that we had dinner then went out to isit less actives. 2 of em were home so that was good! but neither of them really were too excited to see us. but that's okay. then we went to the church for what we thought was going to be a lesson with a kid who comes to church every week he jsut won't meet us so he can't get baptized. That's the only thing holding him back. Ah! Stress. but yeah. that was good. We got some practice teaching doing roleplays to get ready for it then we came home and tried to make phone calls.

Wednesday we had mission tour! So we got up and went straight to 영등포 (YoungDeungPo) for that. If you're wondering why we go there so much it's because that is a central part of our mission and it happens to be right next to our area and it's our biggest church in korea so like it's useful haha. It was really good. Elder Aioyagi came. he's a seventy. President morrise's talk was super super good. I really learned how much more faith i need all the time. ah it's hard. But yeah! That was super good. For lunch we went to this super good restaraunt that sold what it called 설렁탕 (Sollung Tahng). It's a way good soup stuff. anyway then we had more talks. Sister Aioyagi (Elder Aioyagi's wife) is to precious. She's a super old japanese lady who doesn't speak too good of english but her talk was the best haha. it was so cute. anyway after that we came home had dinner then got ready for english class. English clas was way fun! I like it. The members are all too cute. but yeah! That was wednesday! Thursday was intense. We decided to fast because like we haven't really found any new investigators in a long time. So we wanted to try and get some help to find an investigator. So we fasted! We had weekly planning first and then we went out and talked to people! We actually haha. we picked out a road/area in our area and we just walked in circles around it and talked to all the people just kinda chillin on the road. It was actually fun. Other than the fact that i was super hungry. we walked around in that area for like 3 hours. It was good. Talked to lots of nice people. They just all have their own churches. After that we went and visited our CU friend which was good. Tryin to get lunch with him sometime so we can explain more fully what we do and get him interested. then we went back to that area to try one more time to find people. Actually throughout it we had like 3 different people offer to buy us food or drinks and stuff but since we were fasting we turned em down. but we did get some icecream at the end of the day! We really really thought that we were goign to find a new investigator but no dice. so that was kinda depressing. But like it was a way good day. Haha we got home and were beyond tired. Like since we hadn't eaten anything we just like collapsed haha it was fun. i love bein a missionary. 

Friday was good too! We got up and had our studies then we went to youngdeungpo for zone training meeting. That was good! I learned how to plan better which was awesome. then we came home and had dinner and then we went down to visit bong. he's the best. he's kinda having a hard time right now though so we are trying to help him out. He just has no customers but his stuff is so cool! I'm probably gonna buy something from him before i go haha. we invited him to come to church and he said he would if he had time but he didn't. :( So that was lame. Then we came home!  Saturday we had soccer with the ward! Mom you'll be proud of me. I took lots of pictures this week...but dropbox isn't working so it's gonna have to wait until next week. :( But yeah we had soccer and that was awesome. Passed the JW marriott in seocho on our way there and that was awesome. :) haha i took a picture for dad. after soccer our bishop took us to subway. he works for em so i think he gets a discount. anyway, that was way good. :) haha then we had our weekly coordination meeting with our ward mission leader. that was good! He's a boss. i love him. then we went and met a less active member at mcdonald's. His name is 오상일 (Oh Sahngil). He's way cool! He has a super good heart and wants to come back to church. He's just gotten busy with life. But we met him and set up lessons with him. He really likes martial arts. But the way we set up lessons with him was genius. I like to think. We made it seem like he was helping us by telling him that elder dayley needs practice since he's new. so it'll be awesome! I'm way excited. :) haha it'll be super fun. but yeah! After that we went home and made up our studies and then we went to meet our recent convert again. he went to go visit his mom right after we met. So sad. :( Ah but yeah! We taught him the rest of the first lesson. Great Apostasy, restoration through Joseph Smith and book of mormon and prayer. it was way good! Again i was super proud of elder Dayley! He's the best. Good son. :) then we came home! Um sunday was good! I liked it a lot. we had church and then we came home and had our studies then we did like an evaluation thing where as part of elder dayley's first 12 weeks we teach the district leader, elder pruner, once a week and so yeah! That was fun. then we had dinner and right as we were about to leave one of my favorite members, 안태훈 (Ahn Tayhoon) called and invited us over for...dinner. haha so we went down to his house which is super far away. about an hour by bus. but yeah! We went there and had a meal and then shared a message on the restoration. I love the restoration. i've been feelin it lately. haha it's so true. so just believe it. pray about it. then we came home! One last thing before i go is this morning when i was reading the scriptures i really liked Mosaiah 18. It's so good. There was one verse where it says that to all of Alma's converts the waters of mormon became a sacred place to them because that's where they discovered the truth about their redeemer. So like i started thinking about places that are kinda sacred to me and it was really cool! You guys should do it too. :) haha have a great week. I love you guys and miss ya tons. :)

Love,
Elder Breinholt

August 31, 2014

Haha things with the child are going good. I like training yeah it's fun. We got em on saturday and we've been crazy busy so...it's been quite the few days haha.  Haha that's good that the kids started school though. Keep em busy. That's so crazy! Haha why does he work so long? What does he even do? I can't believe he's that old. So crazy. He's a junior! Ah! Stress. Is he doin okay? The two successful weeks of email have stopped so that made me sad. :( haha. So this week was kinda crazy! Haha

Monday was fine. We came home and did some major cleaning after email. haha it was fun. I cleaned out our fridge and it looks way good! Like organized, i'm proud of myself. :) haha also, food trash when you have super old food...so grosssss. but it's alright. Anyway, yeah! Then we went and talked with 봉 (Bong) for a while so that elder bryner could say goodbye. It was fun. But that was our monday. Tuesday was good! Last day with elder bryner. I really liked him. But we went to lunch and then we mailed off his stuff then we went and checked out a college and talked to people and then we did some talking to people for a while which was good. Then we went to meet our recent convert. He's doin so good. He used to be a korean secret service agent! So that was awesome! Haha he has a bracelet that he always wears that is the one that lets him get into the korean oval office. then Elder Bryner shared 3 Nephi 27:16 and we talked about enduring to the end. He is doing super good. He was all for the enduring to the end. So cute. :) Wednesday was okay! We got up and had personal study and then we went to 영등포 for transfers. A lot of missionaries got transferred this transfer. And a lot are training. 18 missionaries are training this transfer. Pretty crazy. Haha then we got mail and stuff and talked to some of our friends in the mission. Turns out me and Elder Pruner were companions until saturday. So get this. We were trained in the same house exactly a year ago and lived together for 3 transfers. Now, we are training exactly a year later in the same house. haha it's so crazy. But awesome. So after that we went to sit at the busstop waiting to go home and me and elder pruner both felt like super lonely. Cuz we weren't companions but we were it is super weird. Cuz we knew that we were getting our actual companions on saturday so it was just awkward. Then we came home and got rady for english class. that was fun. then we went and talked to people and had dinner. Then we talked to people again and had english class! That was fun! So I usually teach our beginning class but wednesay i got to teach the advance one and it was super fun haha. but yeah! That took the rest of the night!

Thursday we were on a split with the zone leaders! We were with Elder Light. Haha we just did a threesome. it was kinda weird. but it was fun. anyway, we went to a refugee camp by our house and bam miracle. we started talking to a guy named Mr. Chen, he's chinese and knows no english or korean so it's super hard to communicate with him, but he always wants to talk to us. Anyway, we started talking to him and then some guy from Ethiopia came up to us and started talking to us as well. He showed a lot of interest so we talked with him, basically taught him the first vision while elder light talked to Mr. Chen. so we gave him our card and stuff and then Elder Light called his chinese recent convert and got Mr. Chen to agree to go to church with them on sunday! So that was awesome! haha can you believe that? Then we went down to Boramay park. That was fun. We talked to a guy who told us how hard his life is and how sad he is. But he has given up on church so there isn't really anything that we can do for him. :/ Then we had to come home! So that was sad. haha we had to grab elder light's stuff and end the split. So that was fun. Then we called people for a while and stuff then we went to the church to meet one of our members for a practice lesson. And miracle again. He was late. We called him and he's like oh i'll be there in like 30-35 minutes. so we decided to go out and talk to people. and on the last crosswalk. On one where we usually never go, so that's why it was crazy, a guy came up to us and was like oh hey! How are you! And started talking to us. He was super interested. he was super nice. When we said we were going to the church he's like hey yeah i wanna go! So we took him and we met our member and he was super nice turns out they have a lot in common, like age, family, and stuff. then we went and got dinner with this guy and our member. They were way tight way fast. It was super cool. So we got Cupbob! Hey hey. and we got a return appointment for tuesday! Haha it's so awesome. And our member invited him to church and he said he would come but he didn't...stress. haha anyway, so that was that! His name is 강도완 (Kang DoWon). But yeah!

Friday was good! We studied and then went to the church to make 떡 (Rice cake stuff) with the relief society for 추석 (ChooSuck). The big holiday thing. haha so we made it and it was super fun! Then we went all over town delivering them! And that took us all day haha it took us like 6 hours. One of the places we went was the 29th floor of a 41 story apartment complex. it was awesome haha. i tried to take pictures. anyway, after we got done delivering all that madness, we went to 김준식 (Kim JuneSheek)'s house for a meal appointment. That was way fun. he talked to us all about these 80's american shows he would watch and how awesome they were. Like robot man or something? Too funny. Then we shared a message on the restoration which was awesome. Then it started raining super bad so they gave us a ride home hallelujah. Haha it was raining probably the hardest it's rained this summer. but it was good! Saturday! I got my son! haha he's cool. His name is Elder Dayley. He's from Lindon Utah. He just graduated so he's super cute. I took a picture with him today so you'll get to see it. His first lunch. Ah he's growing up so fast it makes me want to cry! Pretty soon he's gonna leave me and be out on his own! Ah I can barely handle that thought. ;) anyway, we went to the mission home and had lunch and got some training. President morrise made it very clear how serious it was that we were training so i'm super excited for these next two transfers. Super crazy. Um so yeah after the training we got assigned our companions and stuff that was exciting. They are really pushing learning korean with these ones so i'm super excited for em. Then we came home and dropped off his stuff and went straight to 봉's! He's doin way good. I actually got a picture with him. We are going to invite him to church next week so we'll see how that goes. :) He really liked elder dayley. Super funny the way elder dayley's tag is spelled in korean makes everyone say deli 장로님. it's too cute. but yeah! That took up our saturday! Sunday was intense too! We got up and got ready and went to the church cuz we thought we were supposed to attend some meeting but it turned out we didn't have to so we just cleaned the church up and got it ready then we greeted the members, same ol same ol. it was way fun. the other elder in our house now is elder dent and they keep saying elder tent, haha too funny. elder dayley did a super good job on his like incoming talk. The members all went up to him and told him he did way good and is super good at korean. after church we just kind of mingled with the members ya know talk with em. then we got invited to ward council so we went to that, that was fun! Haha it was kinda cool. then we came home had lunch, personal study, and then we had weekly planning and that took the rest of the night! So that was our week! Can't wait for my son's first week! Should be great. :) Haha it seems like you guys are really busy with school starting! So crazy! Haha i hope you have a good week. And don't forget to read the scriptures. ;) I'll share one thing I learned this week from the scriptures. I really liked Mosaiah 4:10. It is talking about repentance. And again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, and humble yourselves before God; and ask in sincerity of heart that he would forgive you; and now, if you believe all these things see that ye do them. So the reason that i like that so much is because we need to get rid of our sins forever. We can't keep going back to them after we repent and also, if we believe, if we have faith in what we say we do, we need to do something about it. We can't say we believe in the prophet without following everything he says. So yeah. Anyway, have a great week everyone. Love you so much. Until next week. 

Love,

Elder Breinholt 

Pics of the Week!!

Monday after email me and elder Pruner went to gangnam to get lunch with one of our investigators from Pyeongtaek. Julie. She's so cool. haha it was at a super nice italian resturaunt called market O. We talked to her for a while and a bunch of other missionaries are there. 

Friday was awesome! I met Bishop spencer! like what the! Haha that was so crazy! I couldn't believe it! I was sitting there at my desk studying the gospel when all of a sudden we get a call and i look at it and it's a phone number from utah. I was like uh what in the world and so i answered it and it was bishop! 

Yeah the second we go meet him this guy comes up to us and is like hey i want to learn about your church! So we talked to him and got his number really fast but we called it and he said that it wasn't him. So i don't know what's up with that. Ah so sad. Hopefully he calls! 

Then we tried to visit less actives but we just ran into a giant gate at the end of an alley where our less active supposedly lives that has a beware of dog sign on it haha it was scary. and the doorbell was broken so there was nothing we could do. 

AUGUST 24, 2014

Okay so first things first! I'm having a child! What the! We got our transfer call at 6:35 in the morning sunday night and i found out that i'm training! So starting saturday I'm gonna have a son, in missionary terms. ;) haha so that'll be fun. Me and Elder Pruner (The other senior companion in my house) are training. So it'll be way fun. It'llbe weird havin someone so new out of the MTC though. But yeah! Elder Bryner will be going to 인천 (Incheon). He'll be alright. :) haha but yeah! That's the crazy news from our week! Monday after email me and elder Pruner went to gangnam to get lunch with one of our investigators from Pyeongtaek. Julie. She's so cool. haha it was at a super nice italian resturaunt called market O. We talked to her for a while and a bunch of other missionaries are there. You'll see the pictures. :) haha then after that we came home then me and Elder Bryner went out and talked to people! It was crazy though cuz like 4 or 5 people that we talked to knew our church and really liked us haha it was fun. Then since it was raining we went home and called people! Tuesday was good. We got up and went to YoungDeungPo for zone conference. On the way there this old lady was just starin at Elder Bryner tellin him how cute he is haha it was super funny and cute. Then at zone conference all 3 senior couples in our mission trained us. It was super good. One of them talked about linking your morning and evening prayers which is something i'm gonna work on this week. So i'm excited for that. Then we also talked about using family history to find investigators and also about how to teach an effective professional english class. Then we had lunch and that was good. Then we had more training by the zone leaders and then president and sister morrise trainedus on how to teach a good 5th lesson and about patriarchal blessings. It was perfect because that night we taught our recent convert about patriarchal blessings. :) haha so yeah! That was zone conference. THen we went and visited our recent convert and taught him the word of wisdom as well as patriarchal blessings. He's so good. He basically taught us about the word of wisdom which is what we want to happen. He's doing so good. You can really see the light in his eyes when he talks about the gospel. It's super cool. 

Wdnesday! It was pretty good. We had lunch as a ward so that we could discuss how to progress our area the best. So we met together had lunch and baskin robbins then we talked all about member missionary work. Trying to get our members involved cuz that's a lot of what we talked about on tuesday at zone conference as well. So yeah! Then we prepped for english class then we went and talked to people until we had dinner and then english class! It was awesome! We only had one student so we talked to her the whole time in sort of english sort of korean haha. it was fun. :) But yeah! Tursday was good! We went out to talk to people but it started raining so we hopped on the subway to talk to people there and then we came back and visited a service guy and got some service! but we hve mission tour on the day he gave to us so that's not gonna work...stress. Anyway then we wnt to a good crosswalk and started talking to people and then we had dinner and then we went and visited one of our friends to try and introduce the english program but he was a little confused so we are gonna drop off a pamphlet that explains it later. haha then we went to visit less actives and i had a guy yell at me telling me to go home. that was col haha but yeah! Then we treid to visit less actives but we just ran into a giant gate at the end of an alley where our less active supposedly lives that has a beware of dog sign on it haha it was scary. and the doorbell was broken so there was nothing we could do. :( Friday was awesome! I met Bishop spencer! like what the! Haha that was so crazy! I couldn't believe it! I was sitting there at my desk studying the gospel when all of a sudden we get a call and i look at it and it's a phone number from utah. I was like uh what in the world and so i answered it and it was bishop! Haha it was super crazy. I wasn't expecting it at all. but it was good. :) Yeah the second we go meet him this guy comes up to us and is like hey i want to learn about your church! So we talked to him and got his number really fast but we called it and he said that it wasn't him. So i don't know what's up with that. Ah so sad. Hopefully he calls! So anyway, we asked bishop spencer if he was okay with spicy and he said it wasn't realy his thing so we went and took him to a meat buffet. :) Pretty good! haha it was actually way good. I liked it and he said it was good. but yeah. I realized how solid of a member the bishop is. He's the best. Haha he's so cool. I love that guy. But yeah. We basically talked about missionary work and the gospel the whole time. It was really good. Then we took him to the subway station and sent him on his way! It was so crazy that he was here though. Like what the. Anyway then we went to the church and had weekly planning then we went and talked to people and then we met our friend Bong. he's so cool. He took us to a donkas (some pork thing with breading, it's japanese) buffet. that was good! Then we went back to his leather workshop and talked about life and the word of widom. Hopefulyl he'll get some gospel interest soon. Then we came home!

Saturday was good! We started out with soccer. Haha i love it. We go with our ward to play soccer every saturday. It's way fun. Plus it's excercise and i  think i've gotten a tiny bit better since i've started. :) haha but aynway, yeah it was good! We payed on the dirt field an a bunch of people came. Then at the highschool we play at there was some sort of fundraiser going on so we were able to also get some good food too. :) then we came home showered had an actual lunch and then had studies. Then we went out and visited less actives which was crazy. The one lady we visited was home and she just so happened to have an appointment with the sisters that night. Haha it blew my mind. I had no idea. We just picked a random lady. :) but she was super super nice. Hopefully she'll start comin to church. But yeah. Then we went and got dinner at mcdonalds, not that good. In fact it made me feel super fat. haha then we went and talked to peple for the rest of the night! Sunday was good. :) We had church which was way fun. After church we had a lesson with our recent convert. We taught him about the temple and eternal marriage and also missionary work. So basically the fifth leson. I liked it a lot. :) It was a little short but it was good. Then we came home and had studies and dinner! Then we went and talked to people for the rest of the night! So that's our day! We have a kid who comes to church who we just haven't been able to meet who looks like he could be baptized here soon so hopefully that happens. I'm stoked for him. Other than that, it's a little dim haha. but it's fine. Misisonary work rocks. I'm excited to train! Next time i email you i'll have my child! Haha also, he went to the mtc like exactly a year after i did so that's the crazy part. :) Love ya! and miss ya tons.
