First, so many miracles this
week! First off we had mission tour and President Ringwood came to
visit! He is such an inspired man, when he spoke it was like my
HULK/MISSIONARY side wanted to come out and I wanted to just go baptize
the nation!.... (still gonna go baptize the nation!) He gave some very
profound insights that spoke right to my heart through the spirit and
I'm so blessed by the Lord to hear from him. Guess what, he's super good
friends with Tony Rudman as well, so pretty neat little connection. I
also found out that BYU professor Norm Nemro served as the mission
president of Daijun?! so awesome! I feel so honored by the Lord to be
here at this fullness of times! The work in 강남 is going well! However
we are struggling with our most progressing investigator Teresa. She is
just stubborn and doesn't really have a true testimony of the
restoration. She wants to get baptized so bad. The big thing is we are
focusing on baptizing for true conversion, and not just so she can come
to church then go straight in-active after we leave. It's rough but the
Lord continues to pour out his blessings upon us. For example, this week
I've tried so much harder to talk to everyone I can, and contact
everyone possible. So, everyday on the subway instead of
sitting/standing by my companions I kinda look for a lost sheep to
proselyte to. Ever since I've started this mentality, the Lord has
softened people's hearts and they are more accepting of this message.
This week, more people have come up to us and started the conversation
then any other week in my mission! It's such a blessing to be working
side by side with the Lord. Also, this last week I had the opportunity
to go to the temple. It is such a beautiful and sacred experience. Once
again, I challenge you all to go this week. Especially since you are
busy. When you make time for the Lord you show your love for him and
show your willingness to put him first. Remember, "any man having put
his hand to the plough looking back is not fit for the kingdom of God."
Complete consecration to the Lord is an opportunity that, if followed,
will bring blessings into the eternities.
OK, So some crazy things that
happened this week! Where to begin.... oh fun ha been waiting to tell
you that I ate a bowl that was basically boiled blood! hahaha it was
sooo coool and weird and I didn't know what to think.... it was like
jello....but made out of blood. Ha, really weird. Didn't really have a
taste but the kimchi was awesome as always!
This week for P-day we went to these crazy shopping areas, it's like the black market or something! We went because Elder Warren is getting his final souvenirs and stuff. Every store we went into, the owner would come up to me and tell me they don't have my size. ha pretty fun though. That's another blessing from the Lord, my size. Not for physical reasons but because literally it is my best proselyting tool. People look at me and think I'm so tall and ask how tall I am and then I just start talking to them.
O yeah I GOT THE PACKAGE!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!! man I love you all so much and sending such a nice package reminds me of our eternal family :) ha one kid at the temple said, "if only my family loved me half as much as Elder Kaufusi's family loves him, I'd be set!" It's so true I can't tell you how great it feels to know that I have a loving family that is continuing on the path of righteousness. So OK I'll bring it up.... the game..... man I feel like I had dajavu when I heard about it. funny story, we were going to go visit bro. Wilcox at his work and say hello so I called him and he was like, " can't talk right now, BUSY!" then he texted and was like "I'm streaming the radio of the game live what do ya need?" so I told him we were close and he was like "get up to my office!" ha we walk in and he's just devastated saying "GOSH DARN IT!!!! NOOOO!!!!" because his radio connection went out right after Taysom scored! Man he is such a BYU fan, I love it so much! Well, then he was able to get it back but the game had just ended. Well, he told me what happened and man I'm so proud of our D! so great! Offense needs to pull it together! After he insisted on getting me food even after we refused and we had already eaten lunch. He went to this American imported goodies store and just bought a ton of snacks and groceries for us to eat! It was super expensive and I didn't know how to thank him! Please thank him. Brother Wilcox and his family have been such a blessing to me in this short period of my mission.
But yeah, what else. Teresa interrupted our lesson with her and started going off on how i look like Sylvester Stallone.... I took it as a massive complement because I love rocky and rambo (Bronson, watch Rocky 4 before your next game. It will help you get a sack).... Well love you all, here's my Lil personal bitsies!

it!!!! Family sounds good because of yours and Dad's direction and
unreal parenting abilities! I'm so glad you are getting even just a
little more help around the house! The other day at our house I did
dishes for 25 minutes straight.... and I thought of all the times i
would wake up in the morning and find you doing our dishes from the
night before, and i just wanted to cry thinking about your sacrifices
and kindness. I love you mom!
Alexis: BIRTHDAY GIRL k so I
typed up an email for your birthday but it was too big and it won't
send!!! so frustrating! Wow, I think I might throw this computer! but I
wrote you a letter last week and you should be getting it like in 10
days or so. Sorry it's sooo late.... I did write it before your birthday
though! Sounds like you had a pretty fun birthday. Wish i could've been
there...miss you. But no worries, our celebrations will build up while
I'm gone and we can have a massive celebration sometime! Well, I
