Hey Parents! How are you?? I am doing really good. I just got done with taking a Korean test so i am actually at the mission home right now which is always fun. Haha the test i took was super hard but i passed so it's all good. Lets see... I don't have much to report from this week, it was pretty average. Our investigators are all doing pretty well, we don't have any really promising ones though. It's been a little bit hard the past few weeks because we baptized our three best investigators so we have pretty much had to start over with the whole process of finding people. It's been pretty rough to contact lately too because its summer break for all of the colleges so we don't really have anywhere we can go to get lot's of contacts. We went contacting for like 5 hours one day last week and only got 25 contacts, it wasn't cool. Other than that everything is pretty good though. Elder Dryden is pretty tight, we get along well. His personality is like completely opposite from Elder Andersen's but i guess that all of my companions are going to be different. We haven't been able to pick up the slack that Elder Andersen left when he transfered but we are working hard so hopefully our numbers will start going back up. K i really don't have anything else to tell you about my week, sorry this email will probably be pretty lame but i need to hurry because we have to get home, but i'll answer your questions. Haha i am not exactly sure where they get the dog from. I know it's not like a persons pet or anything they have a special kind that they breed just for food but i'm not sure if they have like dog farms or something. I actually ate pig intestine yesterday too and that was pretty interesting. Korean's really eat some crazy stuff, haha 6 months ago i don't think i ever would have dreamed that i would be eating dog and pig intestines. Our church building is actually right by our house, it's like a 2 minute walk away. Our church meetings start at 10 and yes we usually have to go out and contact after they are over. I don't know what but saturdays are usually insanely busy but sundays we can't get appointments to save our lives. At night we either have to be in the house by 9 or 9:30. If we are teaching a lesson we can be home by 9:30 but if we are just out contacting then we are in by 9. Right when we get in the house we plan for the next day and talk about our lessons and stuff and then we make all our phone calls and confirm our appoinments and then we just write in our journals, study a little bit if we have time then go to bed. Haha the whole phone calling thing is a joke, Koreans talk sooo fast on the phone and i swear they speak a different language. I'll do an imitation for you when we talk at christmas time. Our study is always in the morning. We do personal study from 8-9 comp study from 9-10 and language study from 10-11. Study time is like my favorite part of the day i love it. Before i came on my mission, and even in the mtc studying for 3 straight hours would have been torture but now it flies by and i always wish we had more time. During personal study we are supposed to study the scriptures for 30 minutes so lately i have just been reading the book of mormon, and hten for the last 30 minutes i either read conference talks or study preach my gospel or something like that. During comp study we make our final plan for the days, talk about our lessons and investigators and practice teaching and stuff. And then during korean study usually i just study vocabulary and grammar and lately i have been trying to read the book of mormon in korean too. Yes i can open your pictures on the computer, there is a way to put them on my translator too but i haven't had time to figure it out yet. Well parents i know this is short and pretty lame but i need to start wrapping this up. Thank you for your letters and prayers though they really help. Haha dad you need to step up your game though, you haven't written me for like 3 weeks! The church is true though parents, it doesn't matter how mean some koreans can be one the street, there is no doubt in my mind that its true. There is no way that missionary work would be progressing like it is all around the world and there is no way that i could be learning Korean like i am if the church wasn't true. I love you and i'll make of list of things to tell you for next week so my letter will be better. I hope all is going well in America!
Love Elder Musso!
