Best Time of My Mission

We've been doing super lately. We've been seeing tons of miracles every day and Kim De Hyun is planning to be baptized on the 14th and Ee Ju Hoon is on the 7th. They are both progressing really well and are changing. Today is transfer day but Elder Rigby and I are staying. Elder Grant left though and Elder Nye replaced him. This has probably been the best time of my mission so far. We've just been having a lot of sweet stuff happen. We ran into Ee Ju Hoon at his college campus the other day and so we sat down and talked about baptism and some of the commandments that he needs to keep. As we were talking some girls walked up and told him that our church was a cult and to look us up on the internet and went on for about 5 min. It was kind of hard. Anyway, after they left he was like "why would they say that" and so we talked about how our church has a lot of different beliefs from other churches. He seemed all right when we left but we were still really worried about it all day so we both prayed for him a lot. That night after bedtime he called Elder Rigby and told him that he talked to a trainer at his gym that is a member of our church and told him not to worry about the girls that we ran into. It was a big blessing and relief. Well I'm sending some pics of these two to you today so you can see them pretty soon. Have a good week. I love you!

'Blessings' from Heaven

We've been having an awesome week so far. Family home evening was way fun this week. We had two investigators come and they had a way good time. We played secret signs and it got pretty intense. Elder Rigby and I taught the lesson about tithing and we shared Malachi 3:10 about the blessings of paying tithing. It says some thing about blessings coming from the windows of heaven so we had Elder Grant and Skousen throw a bunch of candy in through the window after we read the scripture. It kinda scared everyone but it was pretty funny. Our investigators are doing great right now. Kim De Hyun is getting busier because of school but he still finds time to meet us a couple times a week. He's reading the BOM every day and is progressing well. Our next best is probably Ahn Gyung Yun. She was a referral from her sister who isn't able to meet anymore. She hasn't come to church yet, but she reads the BOM and really wants to learn about the gospel. We met some good new investigators this week too. Won Ding Oo saw our English flyer at his college and called us up. He's from China and isn't that great at Korean or English, but we just teach him really simply and he understands. We're going to order a Chinese BOM for him. We met another really good guy at Kim De Hyun's university named Ee Ju Hoon. We talked to him for a little while and he told us he was looking for a different church to go. He asked us if we knew of a good church to go to! We were like uh.. yah… ours! Ha. We talked to him for about an hour and a half and taught him the restoration and he really liked it and asked how soon he could get baptized! We told him he needs to learn about our message and come to church and he can get baptized. He was really good though. We're meeting him again on Saturday. Elder Rigby loves him because he's a body builder and Elder Rigby is trying to get big for college football. We actually started getting up at 5:50 this week so he can work out more. It's been pretty good because I can play basketball in the morning at our church for about half and hour each morning.
Well have a good week! I'm trying to find something cool for your Birthday. Thanks for the news. I love you,

Lovin' the New Area

Hey I just got your card from Nauvoo. Thanks! I didn't know Brownings (Browning Guns) founder was a member of the church!
We just had a big training about Korean culture and how to get referrals so I was able to get it then.
I'm doing great. I'm lovin’ this area.
Conference was awesome and We got Kim De Hyun to come to part of it on Sunday. He heard a lot about serving other people from Elder Cooks talk so he helped a lady carry her groceries to her house on his way home. He said she gave him an apple for helping her and he got a hot feeling in his heart and it was like God was giving it to him. He texted us about it and said, "I meet God!!" and,"I feel that god is live." It was pretty sweet. He wants to get baptized. We don't have a date for sure yet but probably will pretty soon.
We've been eating good lately with all the stuff you sent me! I cooked the pancakes yesterday and they were Good!
That’s great that dad's doing better. It's so fun to carry on a conversation with him. It was fun driving around with him and listening to him sing Johnny Cash- ha. Well thanks for everything! I love you,

Zone Conference, Sports Conference, General Conference

Hey thanks for the two packages. I got all the snacks and food from Nauvoo and the one with toothpaste and deodorant, but I haven't opened that one yet. That cornbread was dang good! I cooked it yesterday morning. I'm excited to have the muffins too. Elder Rigby just got a package from his girlfriend also, so we've been eating good lately. Sounds like you had a sweet trip. The picture of the temple was way cool.
We're all excited for General Conference this weekend! This is my second one in Korea.
We had a sports conference last week. It was way fun. We played basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, and Cho Koo which is like soccer tennis.
We had Zone Conference on Tuesday. That was great. President Burton gave some good training and talks and we heard from two departing missionaries that gave awesome talks. One of them was a Sister in my district that had a really hard time at the start of her mission and almost went home, but she talked about the story of how she decided to stay and it was pretty amazing. The work is going great for Elder Rigby and I. My Korean has been improving a lot faster since I've been with him. He's been with a Korean Comp for a long time so he helps me with pronunciation and stuff.
We're meeting some really good investigators right now. We met one of them named Han De Bong on the street about 1 week ago. He's about 45. We invited him to church and he came last Sunday. The members treated him really good. He loved our church and all the members. He has a teenage son too that hopefully we can meet. His wife died a little while ago though so I think he'll really like the Plan of Salvation. He is going to conference this week too. Pretty good story.
We've had tons of cool stuff happen in this area. I don't know why but things are going great.
Elder Rigby and I have an awesome time working together. He reminds me of Jake a little bit. He's actually half Korean, but he didn't know any Korean before his mission.
I am wanting to write to Dad, but I don't have his address. Could you just email it next week? Thanks. Have a great week.
I love you,
Elder Lufkin
