Mom, It is good to hear from you right now i think i am good and i have figured out some coping things will keep you updated. I think part of the problem is learning to trust my companion. which with this new elder is working out. Also any luck with the Italy pictures? No crock pot but maybe the LA i am working with does. Please tell Zach to email me.
So this past week has been absolutely amazing.
First off we had a lesson with a part-member family and the non-member really opened up over dinner and we were able to get know him and him us. We also now have the opportunity to be able to do some service for him in this absolutely beautiful terraced garden that they have.
Second We have started up this program to work and get to the Korean branch a lot better and practice our Korean seeing as we are not surrounded by it and not in Korea-town. So went to Brother Kim's house and the spirit that unfolded and was felt as we were there and a little miracle happened. There was one part where Brother Kim bore his testimony to us and something happened i suddenly understood just for this part of our conversation but i knew what he was saying and it was eternally sweeet and something i want to treasure forever.
Third We extended a baptismal date and the person got really mad because he felt that we had backed him into a lose-lose situation and this was the idea we cam up with through prayer and study! Then as he talked we were able to discover his true concern and now we have a direction to go. Also as he continued to talk the mood kind of suddenly shifted and it became light and we were able to leave on good terms. Even more amazingly he came to church on Sunday!
We also had the privilege of doing Mormon helping hands on Saturday and that was fun.
Since it has been two weeks since i emailed. i need to let you all know that i have a new companion! His name is Elder Kempton and i have the privilege of finishing his training. Sometimes I wonder who is training who thought, seeing as i missed out on the chance to finish my training it is a new road for both of us. Fun fact we both met at BYU before the mission in our Arabic class. He is from Rexburg Idaho and i like him. I think we will be able to work really well this transfer and into the future for however long we can stay together.
Elder Craner.
