So what I understand from this is Root Beer is the cause of X-men. Correct???
Hey President!
So this week has been an interesting one. A good week, no doubt, but interesting is a good word too. We have this open house that will be taking place at the end of the month so we have been doing a lot to try and prepare for that, trying to visit less actives, and actives alike just trying to get as many people as possible to want to attend.
District meeting was good, and there was a lot of good things that came from it I think. I feel like I've grown a lot over the course of my tenure as a district leader especially. My experience has certainly been that as we stop trying to fulfill ourselves as leaders or with recognition, but seek to help those around us, is when you really are fulfilled the most.
Elder Webber is making a lot more efforts these days to try and talk to people in conversations. He has struggled a bit in the past and I know that he's working hard. It's not too hard for an older missionary like myself to try and talk, but being so distant from having been a young missionary really, I can't understand it as well. He's working hard though!!!
I don't have too much else to share really, but I'm thankful for all the great opportunities I've had to serve with you, and to continue to!!
Have a great week!

Sup 가족 하고 친구들???
So this week has been good as usual. I'm kinda tired right now, because it is 1:00 pm on p-day and we already have done like 2 hours of traveling, but it's okay cause we have this super crazy awesome activity planned for today!!! Well, I'm not sure how accurate crazy awesome is, but based on the amount of work that has had to go into it, I feel like it better be crazy awesome. I will now commence description of activity and the amount of work that had to go forth to get this ready.
We have a zone activity planned, and since we live with the zone leaders, and I'm a district leader, we play pretty much the whole role of preparation, typically not that big of a deal, but a tremendously huge deal apparently if you want to watch a church movie and/or drink root beer and have root beer floats all the while. Why you ask? I'm not sure if you were aware, but outside of the US, root beer does not exist unless it's on a military base. Not at all. Why again? Because sassafras, the main ingredient in root beer, when ground up to make root beer, can cause immediate dna damage which would result in your body being messed up really badly, thus the use of root beer extract. Root beer extract, exists very seldom outside of the Utah incidentally. We had none to speak of, as well as the other necessary components like dry ice, and movie to watch. That being said, Elder Brissette did like everything ever possible to try and get root beer extract, and we ended up bumming some off of Elder Mumford. Not sure if you remember but he lives in the north mission, and we got a chance to call him, and speak with him for a bit! Super fun!!!! Anyways, yeah that was a chore, but we got it!
Then getting dry ice, we got enough dry ice to make 11 batches of root beer. We wanted to make one. It was insanely cheap though. 20$ ish for 30 kilos. We can't keep it at our house either, otherwise it may sublimate too much and kill us because we sleep on the floor on what are called 요s. Quite the chore... But nonetheless hopefully worth it!!! Also, no one has ever had to go through this much to try and make root beer, i'll tell you that much, well maybe the first person who made it did...
To get the movie, me and my companion went like an hour away to Incheon, which was a journey, but we got the movie, and now we are mostly set to go!!! Gonna be super fun!!! Now we just need a bunch of sugar and milk for the ice cream!!! It's all coming together...
So interesting realization this week, we have this one man who's kind of an investigator who I know used to be part of a gang, and might potentially still be in charge of that gang at the moment. Incidentally, we are also friends with like half of the police force in the area that our church is in. Kind of ironic, but funny nonetheless.
Also, other really weird event, there's this man who we've met once or twice, and he is insanely nice and runs this soup kitchen thing for old people, not the one we do service at, but a different one, and we went to meet him on saturday. He said to show up at a strangely specific time, and when we got there, there was a bunch of old people sitting in a very organized fashion. There was a meeting for something, and it turns out that it was for this college for old people. They go and learn things, and stuff and things. We're just kinda sitting there, and then this other lady we know who runs this restaurant we go to a bunch walks in, and she's like the opening speaker. It was the opening ceremonies of a semester and they asked us to come up and speak!!! We spoke at this weird ceremony for a college for people that are like 80 and older. Kinda strange?!?! Not sure, you tell me.
Sorry, super short on time this week, but it was a good week I promise, we met this investigator I've met a bunch of times before last night, and he made some serious progress I think. Finally people going to salvation!!!
Love you bye
클라슨 장로!
