FYI - Don't mix peaches and onions... Holes is, in fact, FICTION.
Love you Scott. =)

Subject: Peaches and onions do not cure bad smell, in fact they make it worse!
Hey President!
Wow, this is one of the last opportunities that I will have to email you. Kind of a somber occasion, but I will make an effort to make these last couple, or maybe this is the last one, but I'll make them good!
According to that statement, this week has been pretty good. It started out rough, what with transfers approaching, and not knowing what to expect, and then when Elder Webber came back, him being of such a different nature than Elder Mumford, it was tricky at first. I think that subconsciously I had it ingrained in my head that all greenies were just like Elder Mumford, but it's not the case haha. Not to say that's a bad thing, it's just different, but we're adjusting and we'll do just fine.
We found this awesome new investigator this week! I feel kind of bad because when we first met him he said that he wanted us to help him with his English 학권 and I didn't see that as productive so I never made him a priority, but he's awesome!!! Great investigator, sincere desire and a good person too! I feel like I didn't give him his due at first, but we're going to do our best to help him out.
For study, I decided to start going over Christlike attributes and I found it interesting (also in harmony with what Elder Witt trained about at trainer's training) that all Christlike attributes are indeed gifts and not merely acquired.
One miracle we saw this week happened with an investigator sort of person whose family has been trying to get her baptized for years. I got to be present at a lesson by virtue of a 식사 and it went way better than I've ever heard of it going before. Super cool experience to take part of.
It's been great serving with you President, and I'll certainly miss you!
Hey Everyone!!!This week has been a roller coaster! First off me and Elder Mumford had to part ways for good more or less, because he's getting sent up North to dwell with President Christensen and I am being outcast to the South to serve with President Morrisse. Not really sure what he's like but I bet he's great! I will miss Elder Mumford, but there's always BYU. I've legitimately come to the conclusion that BYU is just a place for missionaries so they can see all their buddies from their missions after they all go home. Pretty neat idea they had there. Too bad it wasn't actually made by a prophet, but is still church funded nonetheless!!!! VICTORY!
So last night, I was cooking, and I cut up some really strong onions, and so my hands smelled ridiculously like onions. I'm pretty sure it's like the onions sprayed the essence of their smell upon my hands. Nasty. So this morning, it still smelled bad, so I was looking around the house to try and find a way to get the smell off, and I found this peach body spray. I thought it was lotion at first so I sprayed it straight on my hands, and then I noticed it was more along the lines of perfume or cologne, and now my hands smell like peaches and onions. Contrary to what the story Holes would have you believe, it still smells bad. SPLOOSH IS A LIE!!!!!
So my new companion is Elder Webber, and he is from Puyallup, Washington. He's got good desire and is ready to work, unfortunately however, did not have the callouses to hang. His first full day in the field, we walked a relatively normal distance, maybe a little less, and it rocked his feet so hard! He's got blisters all over his feet now, and needless to say it makes it harder to walk a bit. We took it a little easier after that day just because of how hard it was on his feet. Also for some reason his msf card wasn't working so I got to pay for some things for him. YAYYYY!!! can anyone say law of consecration?
No hobos trying to stab each other this week, in face I don't think I've seen a hobo since then really. Maybe they all got arrested or something. Yeah right, the police do nothing in Korea. I've seen one person get pulled over, and I've certainly seen more people than that in violation of the laws!!! Maybe there's just something I'm not seeing that's going on.
My first district leader is going home!!! Well technically he could kinda already be home, but he's not because he's staying with his sister and his brother in law here in Korea. I got to see him on Friday (when they are supposed to actually go home) because there's a member here who he has a really good relationship with, and he helped out with a lesson, and by helped out, I mean taught. Fun experience.
Yesterday, there was a man baptized into our ward, not by us but by the other companionship in the same area. Cool thing was that it was my first baptismal candidate that I got to do a baptismal interview with!! Finally, been DL for 3 transfer and it just now comes along. Step it up my district. I'm sorry I can't say that I haven't had a baptism in 4 transfers, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT! It was a cool experience.
Fun Korean time!!!!남대문 열었어요 (nam-dae-mun -yeor-eoss-eo-yo)
It's how you say your fly is down in Korean! How fun is that?!?! it literally mean's "your south gate is open"
teeheeWell monsoon season was a failure. It did start last week supposedly, but it hasn't rained since. Somebody stinks at predicting the weather. Oh wait, that's every meteorologist ever. Man I'm hungry. I think I am out of time too. Maybe I'll answer everyone's questions one day. Probably not. Certainly not while I'm a missionary. there's just not enough time!!!! There's never enough time, but I hope i'm entertaining at least!
BYE-eee
