Week 59 response

Sorry... but the image of both of you walking onto sacrament meeting on crutches is pretty funny. :) I guess it's good that we have that front row all but reserved! Sorry to hear that mom's no broken bone record is now over. I guess she'll just have to start counting again. I hope the girls are giving you plenty of help with things. Also, I hope you are eating healthier since exercise will be a bit difficult for a while. I was reading conference Liahona's and came across Elder Klebingat's talk about having confidence before God. The one about taking responsibility for our physical well being continues to stick out. I think I also heard a talk by Elder Ballard about that recently. Whatever the case, I hope you do well. It is easier to heal faster when you're healthy. ;)

This week has been good, though there has been a bit of a constant misty drizzle or a few days now. Like I said last year (that sounds weird), the Koreans don't like rain, so that has put people a bit on edge. It's alright, but it's a bit like trying to talk to Americans when the Super Bowl is going to start soon. We're just chugging along. :) It's all good. We had our interviews with the mission president this past week, and it was really fun to see the mission from his perspective. He's got a lot more logistics to deal with than I originally realized. On a similar note, the office elders are getting our kitchen fixed. Apparently one of our pipes rusted through, and so our downstairs neighbor is getting a leak into the walls... It's not very good. That's actually why we're emailing so early today. We will be doing studies in the afternoon so we can supervise the repair workers. We got to experience street contacting to those on the way to work... It is very obvious why we do studies in the morning. I knew why before, but I *know* why now. 

Thank you for the email and prayers. I hope that despite the problems with left legs (come to think of it, my left leg hurt for a few days...) are resolved quickly. I'm grateful we live in a day when those medical treatments are available. It is very comforting that you don't have to deal with amputations, or even surgery without anesthetics. The Koreans don't trust anesthetics, so all dentistry is done without it. It is not a pleasant thing to see. It makes a lot of sense in explaining why they brush their teeth after every meal. 

Thank you again for the news. It's always such a pleasure to hear from you. I'll pray for your speedy recoveries, and I know that as you do all you can, it'll workout very well. :) Thank you for your examples and hard work. Love you!

Press forward with steadfast faith in Christ.

Best wishes,

Elder Jones
