Hey everyone!
Sorry it's a bit later than usual, but we just got back from
Costco. I figure that's a worthwhile use of P-Day. We have a fair bit of
food and will actually eat a bit healthier than usual, it seems! I
still haven't gotten an umbrella, but I am occasionally using the extras
that have sprung up around the house. I didn't think we had any, but
they have just started appearing... The district will make do :)
My new companion, Elder Redd, is from Utah originally, but moved to
Seattle at the end of his Sophomore year so he says he's from Seattle.
He went to a semester of BYU and is thinking of studying engineering. He
is the first missionary in 이문 in a while who has been here for over a
year. Because he has been in country for so long, he is able to
understand basically everything anyone says to him (with the exception
of an old man who spoke at 200mph late one night. We were both lost on
that one). He's a fun guy who loves to make American food. He has been
serving in the countryside for 7 1/2 months so he's still going through a
bit of shock at the number of people in Seoul, but he's adapting well.
In a lot of ways he's just like Alex, so that's fun!
It sounds like everyone is doing well back home. I hope girl's camp
goes well and that everyone gets to have a fun time! Sorry to hear
about the wisdom teeth, but it seems Sarah is recovering well. I'm glad
the missionaries got to help. It is a little funny that dad will be the
only one at family home evening this week, but I suppose that is the
best time to have family home evening with the ward. Did any of the
missionaries in the stake change, or are they both the same still? I
know sometimes it is good for new faces in areas. Of course, that's
coming from the missionary that will spend a quarter of his mission in
the smallest area of his mission. That's funny :)
I'm so glad everyone gets to do so much good (Jason getting his
endowment and going out to the field soon, Brian getting to the MTC)! If
it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd love to email them a couple times
while they're out, so I'd be really grateful if you could pass along
their emails. :) Wish Hannah good luck on her driving test! Has she been
learning on the stickshift? Keep up on the chores. It is worth it. Tell
the girls that they should just do a really deep clean of the entire
house over a couple days then just do maintainence every couple days.
It's much easier, and they can have fun with it.
It's always great to hear about how all of you are doing, and I
hope you keep having a great time! The summer is the perfect time to do
what you really want to do. I think doing a deep clean of the house
could fall under that category ;) Thank you for everything you do and
for what you have taught me. Also, tell Sam I believed him, I just
didn't think I'd be using Chinese this much ;) Love all of you and I
look forward to hearing from you next week!
Press forward with steadfast faith in Christ.
Best wishes,
Elder Jones
