July 3rd

Ok our family is so lame. I cant believe none of us are spending it in the United states. America is the best. You had all better sing the national anthem super loud for me.

Gavin. Happy Birthday little man. I love you like crazy. Ill find someone to baptize in your honor ok?

Doug: Thanks for being alive! I cant believe that happened. Your x rays are out of control. You are in my prayers- and i heard that missionaries prayers count double.

All the men in our family: Have we learned our lesson yet? no more motorcycles. Its reckless and i wont have it.

This week has been lots of fun. We are teaching this little girl and her grandma that she lives with. Her little cousin also lives with them and is part ape. He runs around breaking things and hitting and biting my companion. He wont come near me because im white. After a lesson the other night we asked if the little girl would pray this time. She was nervous but did it and it was beautiful. After the little boy wanted to pretend praying over and over. It was funny but then I pretty much wanted to cry watching this little crazy family pray together for probably the first time in their lives.

The best part of my week was visiting 김 귀 레 the ancient lady whose afraid of water we've been teaching. It was pouring rain so we just sat on her porch and watched the rain and taught her about the savior. She told us she thought she would die soon. She felt tired all the time (shes 94)  

I looked at her and said 김 귀 레 will you be baptized? she looked at me for a moment and said YES!!!!!!! I told her that I knew the gospel was true and that the savior loved her and she smiled a little and said I know it :). Then we all cried and hugged like sissy girls haha.

We gave the little girl we are teaching a Book of mormon on saturday. I wrote my testimony in the front- dont worry it only took me four years to write. When we gave it to her I told her how much we care about her and that if she ever had questions or needed anything we would be there- after I said it I realized how very much I meant it. I didnt even know these people a few weeks ago and there I was sitting in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of Koreans who I love with my whole heart. I love them like family- wanting to fix whatever is wrong in their life. 

We keep meeting with people day after day that are living with the most complicated heart wrenching problems. All i keep thinking is I KNOW HOW TO FIX THAT! I know someone that can make it better. If only people could realize! 

oh well. im working on telling them.

We had fast sunday yesterday- but not for Naju branch they had lunch at 12:30. They got mad at us for not eating with them and when we told them it was fast sunday they said "WE KNOW! We prayed already!" oh naju... 

k i have no time cause the zone is having a 4th of july party and they are making us all go to their city which is an hour away and play soccer... sisters cant play soccer with elders. WORST IDEA. Im trying to not be way mad but i am sort of.

LOVE YOU! happy fourth!!!!!!

I LOVE AMERICA!
