Ohhh, whatcha gonna do with a drunkin' sailor?

Hi!

This weeks subject has nothing to do with anything! Yippy!

How's everyone? I'm doing quite peachy meself. I've gotten myself a new companion - his name is Elder Hess. He's from somewhere in America, and his family has five people. That's actually all I know about him right now... We just switched today, so I've only been with him for about five hours. :D He seems like a really great guy, though. He's been in the country for two more transfers than I have, so this Korean speaking thing will definately be interesting. He sounds like he's pretty solid at it already, though. Besides, my mission president trusts him enough to be senior now, so all I've gotta do is just have a little faith!

I don't really know what to update on - not a whole lot has happened. Elder Lemons is dead from Wonju, and a tear was shed for those lost. We got to meet with the old ladies that we've been meeting with - they're doing really well. I think they're getting really close to baptism, and they seem pretty solid. We talked to them about the Holy Ghost, and what that does for us, and how to recognize it. They don't really understand why when they meet with us they always think "Yeah, these're all really good words. Yeah, I need to read and pray and that other stuff..." but when they get home they have no desire to do as such. So, we explained to them about the difference between the gift of the Holy Ghost, and just feeling it - they understood really well and I think we made a pretty excellent breakthrough with them. I'll be fun to teach them with Elder Hess now.

Other than that... we got to meet with some less-actives recently. Those were all really excellent lessons, too. Elder Lemons told them all about what his final wish was for them before he left - they all seemed to really take it to heart. So, we'll see the turn out this Sunday. I think it'll be ok.

This new transfer with Elder Hess is going to be exciting, I think. I'll definately get the opportunity to learn more Korean. Because Elder Lemons was so good, sometimes I didn't get the chance to speak that much. But now... we kind of have to rely a lot more on each other. So! It'll be a new adventure. Plus, it's kinda freaky being the junior companion that has to introduce the senior into the area. I kinda thought of it as like a brace system to a tree of some kind. I leaned pretty heavily on Elder Lemons for help and stuff - I'd usually get him to translate stuff for me, ask what people said, give him the phone when people would call, and other things like that. But now, I've been cut down a little bit and I have to stand a little more on my own. It'll be an interesting ride!

But anyway, it was good to talk to you family on Mother's Day! I really enjoyed that - it gave me a lot of strength to push forward a little bit harder recently. I think it'll get me through the summer. :D

So I hope all is going well back home! Things are still great here in Korea. Still working on that picture thing - I need to go get myself a SD Card reader I think. Has anyone been able to figure out how much 8GB USB sticks are? Still wondering about that.

또한, 리아 (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) 자매. 제 말씀 읽으면, 저에게 전화해주세요! 아니면, 편지를 쓰십시오!

Anyway! Stay happy everyone! And stay healthy!

Love,
Elder Webster
