Hello,

Transfers are next week but for  yes i am still with the same companions....sort of. So Elder Yoon and i are official companions and are working a new area called Korean C and Elder Kempton when they split the area (Korean from English) remained in Malaga Cove and received a new missionary straight from the MTC to train. However we all still live in the same apartment and talk and see each other regularly. As For your questions Mom What am i currently studying in the scriptures well let me tell you that is big question so currently i have about 4 projects going and i rotate through them to study and it is great fun. Keeps me from getting to bored and not completing something.

1)The Atonement. TO read the entire standard works seeking to truly understand what is the atonement and HOw i can use it to become better and help others become better. Pretty interesting.

2)The Character of Christ. This study is done in the Book of Mormon where i read and seek examples of Christlike people and such. To better understand who Christ is and what it takes to become 'Christ-like'

3) Obedience. This one is to help me understand the Spirit of the Law and the Letter of the Law. I feel a lot of people are confused about what the Spirit of the LAw is because they use it as an excuse to be able to bend the rules and get away with something. SO i wanted clarification

4) This last one is titled becoming a Master Teacher and it is me reading through the Book of Mormon and Preach My Gospel in order to understand how i can improve and be better at teaching people. So far my favorite teaching moment is in 1 Nephi 11: 11-23 Talk about tag-teaming and showing and having the person draw their own correct conclusions and some wonderful questions were asked also.

What are you studying right now?

Not as much. However when we were still running like every day i was really beginning to enjoy it. It was awesome being propelled at a speed (probably a slow one) and feeling like i was just floating. Weird i know but that is how it felt and when President Weidman said that we didn't need to run anymore well my companions no longer wanted to as much but i did. So we compromised and so 2 days of the week we will go running. This is acceptable and the days for exercises stretches, pull-ups, push-ups and so-on.

I will send picture of me next week. Yes if you want you can have it sent to me. That would be fine. 

As far this past week We did a lot of translating, well my companion did and i did language study. We also have a new move in list and we have been trying to contact hese people. Recent move-ins have a greater desire to change and will listen or at least let us serve them. However The Koreans tend to all live behind Locked apartment complexes and the boxes never work or they never answer them. However we have had some fun experiences.

I stole these pictures from my companion's camera. I need to better about taking pictures. Sorry they are blurry. The picture of a door i am touching is a member's door and well that is just their party house. They own like 3-4 huge houses all well decorated and such.

The pictures on the wall is our power wall to inspire us always.

The last one is when i had fallen asleep while doing study prayers. Whoops. Doesn't happen to often i promise.
