자! 태백으로 가자!‏

Hi!

I'm currently e-mailing you from the wee little town of Taebek. I found out it isn't farther north of Wonju than I thought, but in fact actually south. Still to the east, though. I'm about three hours bus ride outside of Seoul. Not a very fun experience. But! I have a new companion - again. His name is Elder Grose. The last transfer really slipped away with Elder Hess, but it was a whole lot of fun to get to serve with him. I enjoyed it a lot, and I'm excited to learn a lot with Elder Grose. He sounds like he's really good at Korean, too!

Anyway, for last updates out of Wonju - I got to meet some of my favorite people yesterday. We met with Mia, she prayed again for us at the end of the lesson. She's also really been wondering a lot about how she can gain a stronger faith in God, and she also wonders how other people have gained it themselves. I'm really excited to hear about her progression. I took one of her name cards, and I'm going to stay in touch with her as much as I can. She told me to come back to Korea and work at her english academy after my mission. ;)

We also got to meet with a lady named Mona. She's about 60 or so and seems to be really prepared. She had a sister die about a year ago - she used to be Catholic, but after she died, she isn't really sure what to do with herself. so, she stopped attending church and really "lost her way". So the last time we met with her, we explained an overview of the Plan of Salvation, and yesterday when we met again we talked to her about the Spirit World, and the Celestial Kingdom. She really enjoyed it, and I think she'll be moving along really well as Elder Zabriskie continues to teach her.

Other than that, Elder Cameron and 14 other missionaries are dead now. Their corpses are being carred to America probably as I type this. A tear shed for those lost! I'm excited to see what this next transfer will bring - our new mission president will be coming in. I got to see President Cho one last time before he left - it was really cool. I think the new mission president will change a few things around - I think it'll be pretty great.

Other than that, not too much else. Elder Zabriskie had a drunk man dance for him last week, the drunk man even made him rub his abs. Then he did a peck dance for him, and then we left. Maybe not as good as Elder Jones' story, but I almost starting rolling on the ground laughing.

anyway! Things are still going great. Hope all is well back home! Stay happy and healthy!

Love,
Elder Webster
