September 11, 2008

Hey Parents! How are you? I'm doing way good. My new area and zone are sweet i love them and my comp is pretty cool too. Today is kind of a trippy day though because it isn't our p-day this week but we are emailing and shopping today. On saturday sunday and monday it's korea's thanksgiving and so we are having p-day on saturday this week. I guess that everyone leaves the city and goes to their parents houses out in the sticks so we aren't really going to be able to do anything this weekend. Saturday should be super fun though because our zone is getting together at our church and we are going to play sports for a few hours. I can't remember if i told you this in my last email or not but there is a super nice turf soccer field right next to our church that we are going to play on and im stoked! Haha i don't know what we're going to do all day on sunday though. There will probably only be like 10 people at church and then we have no appointments the whole day and President Burton said that he doesn't want us to go and knock doors because Koreans are super intense about the holliday. I guess we will probably just end up walking around all day. This past week was a lot of fun. We were in a 3 some the whole week because the Korean elder in our house had to go to the army for the weekend in busan and that was fun (I don't know if i have told you about the whole army thing here but every kid has to go to the army for 2 years and after that 2 years that have to go back for 3 days a year for like 5 years). Our investigators are pretty good, it has been a little bit hard to meet with them because everyone is getting ready for the holliday though. Haha one of our investigators is the coolest person that i have ever met though. He is 87 years old and he has a beard down to the middle of his chest. He loves everything about the church and he wants to get baptized but he says that he won't get baptized anywhere but this lake on top of a mountain in north korea! Haha i guess the elders have been trying to talk him out of it for like a month and a half but he is set on it. We are teaching his son to though so hopefully when his son gets baptized it will have a ripple effect on him. I will make sure and send a picture of him, you have to see him! Yesterday we had combined district meeting at the mission home (the mission home is my stake center now so all of our meetings will be there) and it was so funny to have Elder Andersen be my zone leader. Haha he is such a geek i love it. My zone is amazing though i'm excited about it. I don't really know much about my ward yet because we haven't met most of the members because of stake conference last week but the ones that i met seem tight. Some of the guys in our ward get together on saturday mornings and play soccer in our gym and we played with them, it was a blast. Haha they were soo stoked that i'm a soccer player, it definitely scored me some browny points. Well parents other then that i don't have much else to report so i think i am going to wrap this up. Oh yeah i have 2 questions for you though. What is my blood type? Koreans think that your blood type defines what kind of personality you have and some people have asked me and i don't know what it is. And what does Musso mean? Haha our super old investigator wants to make me a Korean name but he wants to know what Musso means first because all korean names are made by chinese characters that show their meaning. Can you believe it's already been 7 months though parents? Time really does go by faster and faster every day. I'm going to be home before we know it! I love you though and thank you for your prayers. Oh haha and Mom i think you need to beast the rest of the family for me because you're the only one that has been writing me lately and it's not tight! I hope you have a good week!

Love Elder Musso
