Hey Parents! How are you? I'm doing pretty good. I am actually in down town Seoul right now because we had to go to the hospital this morning (i'll tell you more about that in a minute) and so we just came to this library that is by the hospital. This week was pretty good though. It has just been the same old stuff. Our investigators are all doing pretty good, it seems like the old guy that we are teaching is finally progressing towards getting baptized and a member from my old ward reffered a family to us so we are really excited about that. Member referrals are amazing, President Burton told us that only like 5 percent of regular investigators get baptized but 40 percent of member referrals get baptized so hopefully this family will be in that 40 percent! Haha this week i went on exchanges with elder andersen in his area and it really was like the most fun day of my whole mission. It was just like my first transfer and we dominated seoul together. It was so nice to have a companion that is better than me at korean and can actually help me learn new things, i was only with him for one day but i think i probably learned more from him in one day than i have from my other companions in the last 3 transfers. He is going home in like 3 months though it's pretty crazy. Lets see i don't have much else to report about the week so i guess i'll tell you about my hospital visits. So on tuesday i went and had an ingrown toe nail cut out and it was alright, i didn't think it would be a big deal at all and i thought that i would be fine to be out on the streets walking all day like we normally do, but it has hurt pretty bad. Haha i have had to wear sandals with my shirt and tie because i can't put my church shoes on, i look pretty funny gimping down the street in sandals trying to street contact. The doc told me not to walk around for a few days haha but i felt like Ether where he saysthat he couldn't be constrained from preaching the gospel because of the spirit which was in him. I couldn't help it i had to get out and do something! I went back this morning so the doc could look at it again and he said that he's a little worried about it getting infected so he gave me antibiotics and told me to go back on monday. I don't know when i'll be able to wear shoes again, hopefully soon though. We have interviews with President Burton tomorrow and i think i'll ask him to give me a blessing so i should be good after that. Don't worry Mom im fine, haha i probably shouldn't even be telling you this but i don't really have anything else to say so yeah.. Well i'm sorry this is short but i think im going to wrap it up, you didn't send me any questions so i dont have much to say and we are going to the korean version of disney land today (haha i'm going to make my companion push me around in a wheel chair) so i don't have much time. I love you though and thank you for the emails and the prayers. Can you believe it's almost October?? We are going to be talking on the phone in no time! I miss you all and hope you have a good week.
