Haha, so I’m not a master at romanizing korean characters,
so that's about how you pronounce the name, haha. But so we had a mission
conference tour this past week, It was with Elder 최, who
is currently serving as the Asia North Area President. He is such an amazing
person, he's a native korean, (but thankfully spoke english, haha) and served
in Busan, so he just really connected with all of us. There was a very great
spirit in the meeting, and we learned a lot of lessons to apply to the mission!
So it was a fantastic meeting!

Baptismal Date!! So we got one of the people that we are
teaching a baptismal date commitment!! Apparently this ward has only had like 2
baptisms in a long, long time, so we are really hoping for this one. His name
is.......... and something interesting about him
is that he probably averages at one notification on his phone every second. Not
an exaggeration! Like I have no idea what it is from, but his phone is on
vibrate and it just vibrates countless times, haha, it's just funny to me. But
we got a date for him!!! We are really excited, especially because it isn't the easist to help someone find the faith here!
Funny church name of the week: We saw a church called "Light
and Salt Church"... So yeah... haha

funny(ish) story with Members: first off, The members in
this ward treat us very well. The other week we got like 40 apples from a
member, which were great! And this past week we ran into a member and she
offered to go buy us food, but we told her we already ate. So she said she
would take us to get ice cream, so we of course accepted (cause who
wouldn't right!) So she took us to Baskin Robbins. She told us she would get us
a quart of ice cream, which we thought was perfect, but we didn't realize she meant
she was getting a quart of ice cream for EACH of us... But when we realized she
had already paid, so we ate
a quart of ice cream. Now you may not think that's very much, but really think about it, it's a lot of ice cream. And it was Baskin Robbins, "Baskin Robbins don't mess around" (-Ant Man) so they packed in in there and packed on top. haha, so I admit it was very delicious and we were so thankful, we love the members here!

The gospel is true! If you want to watch an inspiring
general conference talk, I would recommend "the Great Commandment" by
Joseph B. Wirthlin in October 2007. And I would recommend watching it, not
listening or reading it, it's better :)
Much Love,
Elder Hanks
