Hello to you all!
I had another wonderful week, though I'm not quite sure what I can write about it. I feel like I am growing so dramatically in gospel things--which seem to come to me in such whispers, so personally, that I don't know what they would have the same impact if I tried to share them all. So instead, I will say that God teaches us. "Knock and it shall be opened."
A new group of missionaries headed for Korea came in this Wednesday. At the end of their whirlwind day (like when my group came in), they had a meeting with the district presidency. The district is kind of our "congragation" while we're here, and the district presidency act as branch president--like a bishop--and his counsilors (sp? No spell check). The zone leaders (who are elders--missionaries) and I got to go in and talk to them as part of this meeting. It was a lot of fun. Afterwards, I got to give the sisters a tour of the MTC. I used my best tour guide voice.
I really enjoy the association I have with the other missionaries here. The missionaries are such an extraordinary group--we all, of course, need conviction and reasons to be here. I especially enjoy my association with the sisters--who, if I might say it, I think are even more clear on what they're doing and why. We've had a couple more years to think about it, and because it isn't out of obligation.
I love you all and love hearing from you. Have a wonderful week.
