Hey family! How are you? I'm doing really good. Today has been the best P-day ever. We went to the temple this morning and that was amazing like always, and then on the way home we stopped by a costco in Seoul! It was soo crazy, there were white people all over and it looks just like the one back home. We bought a package of muffins and a huge thing of peanut butter. We would have gotten a lot more but we are broke and couldn't afford anything. After costco we went to a church that they are building a few blocks away and it was so cool. It's the biggest church building in all of asia! It really is massive, it's 5 stories tall. It isn't all the way done yet but supposedly elder bednar is going to speak there on the 24th. I took a video and some pictures of it and i'll send them home in couple of weeks so you can see it. Other then that this week has been just the same old stuff. Our investigators are doing good though. We are still scheduled to baptize two of them next saturday and we are going to give two more of them commitments next week. It has gotten really hot lately so contacting has been pretty rough, haha yesterday we just walked around for 5 hours because we didn't have any appointments but usually it's not that bad. The rest of this transfer should be really fun though, next week we have zone conference with Elder Havilands zone, in two weeks we have interviews with President Burton and Elder Bednar is speaking to us on the 22nd, and then on the 24th he is speaking to the members and we are going to go with Ryan to that and then the transfer is pretty much over. The time is really starting to fly by so fast. I was thinking about it a couple of days ago and it really tripped me out that it has already been 6 months. It was a little bit frustrating because i still suck at Korean really bad and i feel like i am already running out of time. I really will be home before we even know it. Well that is really all i have to report for this week and we have to hurry because it's already 5 and we have an appointment at 6 but i will answer your questions really fast Mom. Haha yes we have toilets here, well in most places. In our house and in the churches and stuff there are all toilets but in the subways sometimes they only have the hole in the floor kind. I haven't had to use one of those yet but i think i need to experience it before i come home so i will make sure to let you know how it goes. The olympics are all ready all over the news and the people are always talking about it. Haha i don't really remember what the olympics were like back home but it seems like the people here are a lot more stoked about it than i ever was. In English class last night we talked about it for like a half hour. Bush stopped by korea on his way to the olympics and that was a huge deal as well. Everyone hates him and the our government because Korea is importing American beef and all the Koreans think that it has mad cow disease. Thousand and thousands of people protest in Seoul about it every night it's pretty funny. We were on the subway today and some protestors came in and gave everyone flyers about it, have you seen anything on the news about it back home? Haha it's pretty stupid but it's fun to talk to people about it. I already talked about the Elder Bednar conference a little bit but yeah all the missionaries in our mission and the seoul mission will get to hear him talk and if we can get an investigator or recent convert to take us we will get to see him again when he speaks to the members. Well parents that is about all i have to report, i'm sorry this is short and pretty lame but i don't have much time today. I love you though and thank you for all your prayers. Good luck with school mamma, I miss you!

Love Elder Musso
