Yobosaeyo!
So we started our non member TRC's (Training Resource Center appointments) this past week, so we
have 3 lessons a week with a non-member, and we basically are just teaching her
just like we're in the field. We are teaching a woman named S..... and it
is a great experience! I mean it's kind of nerving because there's like a lot
riding on our teaching! we're teaching about Joseph Smith right now though, so
we really just got to get her to believe in Him, and hopefully everything that
follows will become a little easier.

| Getting out of the MTC! |
Story Time: So we got to leave the MTC!! It wasn't actually
that big of a deal though, and of course it was allowed, but it was off of the
campus. The solo sister in our district needed to go get prescriptions from the
BYU Health Center, and her "companions" were busy (it's just another
companionship assigned to be with her basically whenever possible) so we got to
take her outside to the Health Clinic. It was weird, they were playing
"Living on a Prayer" in the foyer and we were like "ahh, get
back satan!" Haha, just kidding we didn't actually say that, but we were a
little uncomfortable, cause how do you just stop hearing when you're talking to
your companion? so that was a fun highlight of the week. We saw the rest of our
district in our classroom and waved to them from across the street, so that was
pretty fun.
We were just released as Zone Leaders yesterday! So that was
nice! It was great and I was glad to be able to get to know the elders better.
We also had new missionaries come in this past week! there are 6 going to
Busan, and the other 3 are going to Daejeun. So we got to do another missionary
orientation for them, which was great! There are like 5 of them from the
Philippines, so there are a lot of Philippinos here, and they are one of a
kind! they are just so humble and unlike any of the other missionaries here!
The sister in our district had her birthday last week, and it went great! we
decorated our classroom and a lot of people got her little gifts and stuff, so
it was great! Also, the Phillipinos in our zone got to go to Temple Square
today, which means that my companion left me... So I have to go with another
companionship for the majority of today, which should be great!

| Celebrating Birthdays! |
Not much else has really happened, but we just keep having
class every day, the korean is getting there, I know it won't get
"there" by the time I get to Korea, but I'm just gonna use everything
that I can! So we'll see where that gets me, haha. But we got 2 weeks from
today now, it's so weird being so close! It's so exciting though! But I'm
pretty sure we miss singing in General Conference by a week, but we aren't
actually allowed to know for sure. Brother Eggett, the choir director, just
says that they are practicing for a special opportunity on the weekend of the
7th of October, so it's not official, but it's kind of official. But it'll be
okay cause I'll be in KOREA!!! So who really cares about singing in a choir
when I can go serve in Korea!!
Anyway that's about it, the work is good, the gospel is
true, and there's nothing better!
Much Love,
Elder Hanks
