제 사랑하는 부모님들,It's been a crazy week! So I'm in 인천 2nd ward with Elders Eddy and 추지웅. The ward is awesome and both of my companions are even awesome-er. Elder Eddy's gonna be headed home in August, and Elder 추 (Chu) just started at the same time I went home. Contrary to what I had thought before coming back, we are the only Elder companionship in our district, so there's only three of us in the house, not five. Although you could easily fit five in our house; it's easily the biggest missionary house I've ever seen, and real nice. 20th floor. View attached. All the MTC teachers had told us the first time around that the jet lag is worse coming home, but I'm finding that's definitely not true. I think it's primarily because as a missionary you have to fight through it all day, whereas going home you can sleep anytime you want. I've been waking up hours early a couple of days this week. But I'm just about over it.I came just in time for 이장석 (Lee Jangseok)'s baptism. He's a really shy guy but he and I became pretty chill pretty quick. He met with the missionaries years ago but dropped for whatever reason, but this time around it only took him about a month and a half. The service was real good and well attended. We also have another investigator who just on Thursday accepted a baptismal date for July 17th. His name is 김돈 (Kim Don). 55 years old, and he actually was met by our new senior office couple on the flight to Korea as he was coming back from visiting his Mormon brother-in-law. He's basically as golden as they come. He used to be a Christian but says he hasn't believed in God or even smiled for years ever since watching his parents suffer from dementia. But when we met he said he was happy again and said that while reading the Book of Mormon he again felt like God does exist. So that's exciting. Two other investigators of note would be 이종순 (Lee Jongsun) and 김성민 (Kim Sungmin), both early 20's. The first is real great but has trouble understanding the Book of Mormon and needs a bit more motivation to change his life. The second is a guy who's spent a lot of time thinking about and studying Christianity and really likes our church's beliefs but never comes to church because he sleeps in until the pm everyday.As I said, we had our zone conference (well it was actually two zones together, but you get the idea) yesterday. It was basically a handful of small trainings given at various places on a mountain with stretches of beautiful hiking in between. And there was a pretty awesome fortress at the top. It was great to see everybody (and tell Heidi that no, nobody had forgotten about me but rather yes, I seemed to have become a sort of legend; people whom I didn't even know seemed excited about me being back). In regards to Dad's question about what President told me: My companions actually picked me up at the airport, so yesterday was the first I'd seen him. So all he's said specifically to me was a little shout-out at the opening of the conference and a quick "Welcome back and goodbye" as everyone was giving him hugs at the close of the conference (on account of that being the last we'd see of them before they go home next week). Also I can't believe the Cavs won. I'm upset. Also happy Father's Day.In other news, my Korean is definitely worse than it was, but I'm finding that with a little warming up it's improving again quickly.Love y'all,리스 장로P.S. Did y'all know anyone by the name of Jenkins when we were in WA? I just learned yesterday that Elder Jenkins, who was in the MTC with me and also happens to be from Manti, was born in Pullman while his mom was at WSU.
