Hey Parents! How are you? I'm doing pretty good. This past week was stressful but good. It's always alot of work getting the baptisms together and making sure that all the ward comes and brings food and everything but it ended up being really fun. I baptized ì •ê²½ì„­ (the short guy in the pic) and Elder Dryden baptized ì´ìŠ¹ìž¬. Um haha i don't really know what else to tell you about it, oh i didn't mess up on the prayer again though and that was good. It's scary to have a bunch of people watching you like that. I'm sorry in advance though this is going to have to be pretty short because we are going ice skating in suwon today. Haha i am pretty stoked to ice skate, its been forever since i have been. Me and Elder Dryden are wearing regular clothes too and its pretty wierd. I haven't worn jeans and a t-shirt for like 3 months! Everything here is going pretty good still though. This week is going to be really hard because we baptized our two best investigators and combined we taught them like 8 lessons a week for the last couple of months. We have been having a hard time finding new investigators lately too but hopefully it will get better once school starts in a couple of weeks. We have interviews with President Burton yesterday and that was fun like always. He's amazing, i love him. Tomorrow will be a pretty exciting day because we are going to see Elder Bednar, i am a little bit nervous because he will probably beast us but it should be really good still. It is a perfect time for him to be coming too because i think we are all in need of a spiritual boost, i think august is the hardest month for missionary work because it's so hot and everyone is on vacations. The weather has started to cool down a little bit though and that has been really nice. Next month is supposed to be beautiful so i am excited for that. We went on exchanges with the zone leaders on monday and that was really fun, and it's always good to get a little bit of a break from my companion. Haha i love him and he's way tight but 24 hours a day for 2 and a half months is a long time. Transfers are two weeks from today though and i have a pretty good chance of going somewhere so that will be good. There is always a chance that i could stay which would be a little rough but i'm sure i'll survive. We have a couple of really good investigators right now that will probably get baptized next transfer so that would fun. Haha we are meeting with this girl right now and it's sooo wierd. We have been meeting her with ì´ìŠ¹ìž¬ because we aren't allowed to meet girls alone but yeah it's pretty bad. Haha it's crazy how awkward i have gotten after only 6 months. Well i need to start wrapping this up but i will answer your questions really fast Mom. I already covered the baptisms but haha i said we were broke at costco but don't worry about it. We have enough money to buy food just not from costco, it was super expensive and everythign is in bulk so that doesn't help. We get new missionaries every transfer so now i will have 3 sets younger than me in a couple weeks it's pretty trippy not to be the youngest one in the mission. Well parents i need to run, sorry this is short but Elder Dryden is waiting for me. I love and miss you! I'll talk to you next week.

Love Elder Musso
