15 months done

My dearest mother,

thank you for your email, i am sorry that you have had such a stressful week but i agree i think you made the right choice and quitting that job obviuosly God has bigger and better plans for you and maybe working at the cleaning place is where he needs you right now. and you dont need to stress or worry about me, if i have made it this far on my mission i can make it the rest. just always remember me and hunter are on the lords time and doing his work so we will always be watched over and protected by him, believe me i have seen his protection through out my whole mission and i am sure the hunter has already seen it as well, so you dont need to worry about us!!!!!!! 

How the heck is it already october?!?!?! i know i say this alot but really i have no idea how time has gone so fast, i think my whole mission has happened in a blink of an eye and it makes me really sad to see it going so fast, i know i have a lot of time left but even the thought about coming home scares me and gives me anxiety so i just choose not to think about it, i got my "death letter" this week the letter they send to missionaries to fill out so they can buy their plane tickets, yeah that was the worst thing to get..... but on the bright side i also got the cutest package from the young women in our stake, it was so cute and the letters in there made me laugh, they were all so cute! i hope to meet all of them one day!! so thank you for the cute letters and candy! 

This week was good, we got to meet with our investigator jessica again, she is progressing so much! we had planned to teach her the 3rd lesson, Jesus Christs Gospel. but something came up right before the lesson and we felt like we needed to wait off on that but we didnt really have anything else planned to we were just going to ask her a couple of questions, and it went way better then we thought it would. she really didnt need the 3rd lesson that day, because we didnt have a lesson planned we found out so many of her worries about baptism and she was able to ask us questions that she had about the church that she has been curious about. we taught her more about the word of wisdom since she has been keeping it with the no coffee but didnt know why she was, so we had her read DC 89 and after she read all of it she looked up at us and said "oh i get it, God gave it to us because he loves us!" that caught us off guard, normally people dont see it like that they see it as a burden, so that was the best. she said she will try her best to give up coffee and alcohol, so we made a deal with her if she gives that up we will give up something we love and eat everyday.... ice cream.... and we havent had it since, even at the mission conference where they gave us really yummy ice cream, we didnt eat any of it! now we are just hoping to get her to come to church!!!! 

oh and mom you will love this part!!! i finally bought i HANBOK!!!!!!!!!! one of the traditional dresses, it was only 40 dollars!! so we are going to seoul today for to one of the palaces to take pics in it, oh and sorry i kind of spent a lot of money last week, but in my defense i was buying all of you souvenirs and myself haha oh yeah if you want anything from korea please let me know! 

love you all so much
사랑해요

to me
i am glad you havent stressed about me, because i have been good! honestly Korea is the safest place ever, plus it helps that koreans are so small so even if there are drunk people that come up to us we are bigger then them hahhahhaha its the best! 
i bought you and the girls these cute little bags and i am buying all the boys some ties maybe today or next week, but if you want anything else think about it! 
i already have a dress i want to give her, it is a little to small for me so i figure she would like it! and yes i will get rid of a lot before i get home, honestly all the stuff i came ot the country with i will probably throw away because they are gross anyway, they have been through a lot haha and all my winter stuff except my coat will be left here! yeah lucky its nice there it is starting to get cold, today i am wearing a jacket and last night we were doing a district activity but ended early cause we all got super cold... hahha 


to me
i was planning on buying normal clothes, there is this super cheap 시장 sorry i dont know what that is in english.... but they have super cute shirts there for 5 so i will probably go there before i leave to buy some stuff hahah 
it just asks about what airport i will go to, who is my bishop and stake president so they can notify them when i am coming home and then your email and mine, stuff like that
just have to turn it in before i hit my 3 month mark. my area is going good, the ward and branch that i am serving at is awesome, both the members are great here, and they give us so much food its crazy hahah we havent had a ton success finding new investigators but we are hoping with our english classes starting this week we will be able to find some through that!
