I had a really good week. Elder Kim and I have been out trying to find some new investigators. We've met some good people through contacting on the street and from English class. It's been a fun week, but I'm pretty beat from walking around talking to people so much! We are meeting a few investigators that are progressing. Only one new grandpa was able to come to church though. We're working way hard so hopefully we'll be able to find some prepared people here pretty soon.
Starting next week we'll have to start preparing some training for the transfer so hopefully it doesn't take to much time away from working in our area. Things here are going really good though.
I went on exchanges with another missionary last week and got a really good idea from him on how to have the spirit more. It's a 40 day fast from things that keep you from focusing on missionary work or having the spirit with you. You do a normal fast from food and water for 24 hours and make a list of things that you want to avoid. Then for the next 40 days you pray morning and night to have the strength to avoid the things on the list. I put the list of things that I want to quit doing in my planner so I can look at them often. It's been really good and I've felt better lately. I've also felt like I've been able to discern investigators needs better in lessons.
I hope you all have an awesome week!
I love you,
Elder Lufkin

"General Conference was awesome"

We had a really busy day today so I don't have much time to write! We went to a meat buffet with some members then they took us to Coldstone for ice cream! It was pretty fun, then we went home and cleaned our house.
Elder Kim and I are doing well. It's a lot different working with a Korean, but I'm learning a lot and it's nice to have a companion who understands everything. We've been really busy with office work from President Lee so we haven't had as much time in our area as we'd like, but it's been fun and we've still seen a lot of blessings as we've been out working and teaching people.
General Conference was awesome on Saturday and Sunday! I just downloaded it so I can listen to it again during meals! We had an investigator named Kim Myeong Say come to conference with us on Sunday. He loved it. He has actually read the whole Book of Mormon.
Thanks for all your emails and salang (love)!
Love,
Elder Lufkin

How are you all doing? I had a really fun and busy week!
I came to my new area last Monday to figure out how to do everything that I need to at the office. We've been really busy with picking up new missionaries, training them and their trainers, sending home returning missionaries, and making new training for the mission. We get out and do missionary work whenever we have time, but we spend a lot of time doing office stuff too. It was cool when we went to get new missionaries at the airport because the TaeJon Mission president was also there to get new missionaries and my MTC companion Elder Pearson was there because he's an AP in that mission.
Things in our area are going pretty good. My new companion Elder Kim is a way good missionary. He didn't know much English before his mission, but he's pretty good now. We talk a lot in Korean so I'm getting better at that . We have a lot of investigators, but I haven't been able to meet that many of them yet. There's on guy named Kim Young Sae who has read the whole Book of Mormon and has come to church quite a bit, but he just won't get baptized yet. It seems like he wants to get some big answer or sign like Joseph Smith did. I talked to Elder Heyrend and he said that in my old area, our investigator Kim Jin Young that had a baptism date was able to almost totally quit smoking! He's planning to get baptized on the 17th!
The weather here is getting a little cold so we started wearing jackets again.
Everything here is going good!
Love,
Elder Lufkin
