In the rain! And we were late! But it was fun :) It was also very pretty, so we got some cool pictures. That's always a plus. We did end up finding our way, and it was a good thing we brought umbrellas!! </div>

How are you all? I assume your great! Why? Because I read in studies this morning that "We truly have every reason to be optimistic and happy." Which I must say, I believe with all my heart! I have spent over a year of my life on a mission now, and I have gone through a lot of things. I have had really great weeks, and really not so great moments, and rough days, and joyful hours. Despite whatever circumstance I have been in though, I have made the choice that under it all I will ultimately be positive and happy! Optimism, positivity, patience, etc can all be elements of, and increase, our faith. Imagine how beautiful and bright the world would be if every rainy day meant to us personally that the flowers would be brighter and grass would grow greener, and not just that "I can't believe we will have to take an umbrella with us today." Please DANCE IN THE RAIN! The rain will dance with you. </div>

Annnyyyy ways. About my week.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Last Tuesday my companion and I were walking home from visiting a member and she said "Sister Brooksby, guess what? Its almost Monday!" Keep in mind, this was a <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1825601991" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span>. She proceeded to explain that because of all the things we had to do last week, meetings, lessons, exchanges, etc that by the time it was all over, it would be <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1825601990" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span>again. I laughed. Partly because it was true. And what do you know folks?</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We had a great Zone Conference this week~ Lots of good advice and impressions from the spirit! Our mission mom even taught us how to make a lot of good food with sweet potatoes! BTW Korean sweet potatoes are good. Very good. When I go back to America don't expect me to eat the sweet potatoes. He he. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We were walking past a lady who was dragging a big cart with lots of cardboard on it down the road and my companion asked in alarm "Is that her job or her home?!?!" Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, its her job. </div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We also had a funny quote moment again when we were going over what happened during a lesson. She said "I'm sorry I didn't stick to the plan." And I replied "Its okay! If you stick to the plan, you're stuck." </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
And then we both had to sit in silence a few moments in awe. It was just too brilliant. I can't even handle myself. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

BUT! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1825601994" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Sunday</span></span> we had a great lesson with our investigator, Sister Jung. She doesn't believe in God, or at least says she is not sure. She said it was hard to believe things she cannot see. We testified to her about the power of the Book of Mormon as evidence of the reality of God, and that the people who wrote it are a great testament because they SAW Him! She accepted our challenge to read from the book. We have great hopes!!! :) </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
It is true, we cannot see God at the moment, but we have evidences of Him everywhere! Testimonies of others, the testimony of the spirit, scriptures, modern prophets, the very earth we stand on, air we breathe, bodies we use allllllll testify to us that there is a creator and that he is divine. I know that Christ is our Savior. I have felt it, I have read it, and with my heart I have seen that that is true. We can all know for ourselves. It is a gift of the Spirit. To some it is given to have a testimony of Christ, and to others it is given to believe on their testimony! There is a way prepared to know, and a time prepared to share! :) </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I think I have some of the greatest proselyting conversations with those who know little to nothing about God or the Savior. I love to share my testimony of their reality, and how it has blessed my life. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I was talking with a woman on the subway the other day who had no religion, didn't believe in God, and had had negative experiences with other churches in the past. As I testified of the truths and doctrines of this restored church and we talked together I saw in her eyes a softening, a light, and an inkling of a desire to know what it was that made me who I am. Near the end of our conversation she kept repeating the words "Your face just looks peaceful. You look like you are at peace." And it was true. She felt it. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
So it was a great week. Lots of good experiences, and all of them have served to wash away any stress or anxiety or trouble I may have been going through. Truly, our sorrows can be "Swallowed up in the joy of Christ"</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I love you all! I love this Gospel!</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
My companion was guessing my first name this week. She said "I don't know, but you look like a Renee." </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Funny how that works.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
For those of you who don't understand why that is totally CRAZY for her to say, my middle name just so happens to be Renee. Maybe I should just go by that now? XD</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Anyway!!! Week 2 training! I think the weeks will just get better as we go on. My companion and I get along pretty well! She loves to talk, and I get to hear about what New Zeland is like, so its really cool! We are also having lots of fun giving out copies of the Book of Mormon together! She has a lot of faith, I think its really making the work move along! Also, almost everyone I have gotten a number from this week for some odd reason is a preacher or teacher for some other church. Crazy sauce. XD </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Oh yeah, the pics. We went bowling with some people in our zone last pday. Twas fun. :) I won the first round, then just did okay the second. XD Man I wish I was consistent hehehe. We also played pool. The funniest moment was when Elder Dalley hit the ball- a perfectly open shot mind you- and the ball bounced out of the hole. It was so funny I was on the floor laughing for like a minute. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
My comp and I have made a new game. If we see a church we say the vocab word we are learning for the day and whoever says it first gets a point. There are enough churches here to get 20+ points <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1825601989" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">in one day</span></span>. That tells you a lot about Korea. LOTS of churches. (Not our church churches)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
As I review the week I realize, we study a lot. XD</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We also went on exchanges! Sister Pari's first ever exchange! She was in Buchun with my old companion, Sister Pak Yelim. :)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
The other sister and I had a fun time speed walking from missionary correlation meeting to our member appointment for 20 minutes! I was so tired!! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
The rest of the week I don't remember because it was forever ago and I didn't even finish this email last week! XD</div>

Now I know you all just last week heard about my sudden transfer to Kangdong, but this week we again received transfer calls!! Yay!! I've sent my boxes and carriers too much these past two weeks haha.</div>
<div>

<div>
First! Today I forgot to bring my old planner, so I don't remember what happened last week! Yay!!!! Honestly, I don't even feel like last week existed. We jumped straight from Sunday to Sunday and somehow did missionary work in between. XD </div>
<div>
I will do my best to recall what occurred.</div>
<div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VKKG14E7pe8/WNgL1KGT-UI/AAAAAAAABHA/7uZkeh1_9fUiZxaVLZ5xgxrSkb56oQe8ACK4B/s1600/IMG_0046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VKKG14E7pe8/WNgL1KGT-UI/AAAAAAAABHA/7uZkeh1_9fUiZxaVLZ5xgxrSkb56oQe8ACK4B/s320/IMG_0046.JPG" width="320" /></a>So usually on Monday nights in Kangdong they have ward FHE, but the bishop texted that morning and cancelled it- even though a LA member had agreed to come! So we were all kind of like "well dang, now what" then we decided we would just go to an all you can eat meat place with the LA instead! It was fun haha. :) </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Though after you eat that much meat it kind of becomes just a lot of meat. All you can eat meat, its such a thing here. I think I can go home and just become a vegetarian for life now.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
In the scriptures there is a phrase "stupor of thought" I feel like it accurately describes how I am feeling at this current moment. I cannot think. XD </div>

We were able to eat with her and she gave us a bunch of food to take home as welll! She is seriously the best!!! </div>

Hello everyone! I'm sure you are all incredibly curious about the title, and I'm not really up for making it a big suspense thing, so I will just tell you straight up what happened!</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
In a strange twist of events, my companion went home! I don't remember if I told you that her foot had been hurting her a lot, but it had! Well, apparently it was much worse that we thought, so she ended up going home! It was really crazy and all happened in less than 24 hours, she packed, I packed, and her parents came and took us to the mission office before we sent her off! It was quite the craziness. Since there are no threesomes in the mission and I can't do missionary work alone I was sent from my beloved Hwagok to a place close to our mission home in Seoul called Kangdong.</div>

Now the chances are very high I will get an American companion, there aren't many companionships of just Korean sisters!"</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Ladies and gentlemen.... My new companions are Sister 김다정(Kim) and 양희나(Yang)! The only (I think) companionship of two Korean sisters in our whole mission! So, I have yet to be companions with anyone from America, but I think since I only have three transfers left I'll just make it a goal never to have one anyway! Hehehe So I officially have 8 Korean companions in the field, and 2 in the MTC! I may have had more Korean companions than any American ever has before in the history of missionary work in Korea, who knows. Its a lot of fun though, both of them are super nice and way awesome!!!!!!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Sister Yang is kind of quiet, but very sweet and always wants to do really well. Sister Kim is a go-getter who leads really well and is great at proselyting! And both of them realllllyyyyy like it when I make cookies! ;) Its a lot of fun heheh</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I don't know if there's not much else to add. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Well I guess for anyone who may have heard a bit, yes I have been to the hospital this week for a little problem, but I am taking meds and it will get better, so no need to worry! God is realllyyyy watching out for me! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
My old companion who went home will probably get treatment for about 2 months and then come back to our mission, so no need to worry about her either! She is doing good, and I expect to see her again soon, a conquering hero!!! </div>

Tuesday my companion was having health issues that weren't resolved until about Thursday morning, and in between that time we spent a lot of time at home studying, resting, updating books, etc. We also decided to make our pinata for the FHE!!! Its a PENGUIN!!! I will send pics, but its pretty dang adorable. :)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We had our interviews with the mission president at our house this week! They are interviewing all the missionaries in their apartments this transfer- its a good thing we live clean! (Because we have so much time at home, cleaning is one of the things we do a lot hahaha)</div>

We had a fun time sticker boarding on Thursday night after Sister Lee was feeling better, though it was much colder than expected! XD I ended up getting a cold because of it! Sad day. XP</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
BUT! We were able to meet Elder Holland on Friday!!! WOOOT! It was so cool! We got to shake his hand, we got our eyebrows singed (ha, ha), and overall the spirit of the Lord was present as His apostle bore testimony to us of the power of teaching so our investigators understand, and always using the Book of Mormon! Its been a great time! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Due to some Sister Brooksby technical difficulties we were home bound again this weekend, but die to the grace of the Lord we were able to go to the special stake conference this Sunday and see Elder Holland again.</div>

Not Just the Preisthood Kind. 2/20/17<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Hello everyone!!!</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Yes so this week has been great! I mean, despite all the crazy stuff that my companion and I have been through we have really been seeing a lot of joy in our work!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GCRNn0bnY0A/WNgHtuFXcoI/AAAAAAAABFY/4WhxxbhihV0GTQAzctBOueMnxFZisztfgCK4B/s1600/DSCN3120.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GCRNn0bnY0A/WNgHtuFXcoI/AAAAAAAABFY/4WhxxbhihV0GTQAzctBOueMnxFZisztfgCK4B/s400/DSCN3120.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
First off, my companion was walking quickly last week and slipped and twisted her already hurt leg. We went and got it checked in the hospital and they had to put her in a half cast. :P So that was fun. But on the same day we got the number of a girl who works at our service project with us who has a lot of great potential! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r11z6ht4Fvc/WNgHsuYpsXI/AAAAAAAABFI/3-W--Zu7OokmaI8mnknJSml-l0djCREWgCK4B/s1600/DSCN3108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r11z6ht4Fvc/WNgHsuYpsXI/AAAAAAAABFI/3-W--Zu7OokmaI8mnknJSml-l0djCREWgCK4B/s320/DSCN3108.JPG" width="320" /></a><div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<br /></div>
We also had Zone Conference this week, but on the way in the bus we thought we would be late so we got off and took a taxi which ended up taking us to a really weird place and we ended up wandering around (yes, my companion with a hurt foot) for an hour trying to get to the church building! We ended up being almost an hour late. NOT cool. Slightly stressful. I don't know if you all know what happens if I get stressed, but its not exactly super fun. XD</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OxFYlPwxbVU/WNgHtTKX1eI/AAAAAAAABFQ/IXUnBS1FTY8Wge25fLdVe2vyd8f4QArHACK4B/s1600/DSCN3110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OxFYlPwxbVU/WNgHtTKX1eI/AAAAAAAABFQ/IXUnBS1FTY8Wge25fLdVe2vyd8f4QArHACK4B/s320/DSCN3110.JPG" width="240" /></a>Anyyyyyways. Thursday we went on exchanges! Sister Troxel and I stayed here in Hwagok and Sister Lee and Gamayon went to Cheongla! My old area~ When we exchanged back on Friday I was able to go back to my old house! It was super weird! :) Fun though. We also got to see a member of the Cheongla ward and she was like "Oh! HI! You!" :D Nice to sill be remembered after 2 months! XD</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Annnddd that's about all the stuff. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qxJgLkAVHgg/WNgHtkeXuLI/AAAAAAAABFg/Oiqk0VKn7wM4vrGZcBEx_LdEAzdXaEj4wCK4B/s1600/DSCN3121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qxJgLkAVHgg/WNgHtkeXuLI/AAAAAAAABFg/Oiqk0VKn7wM4vrGZcBEx_LdEAzdXaEj4wCK4B/s320/DSCN3121.JPG" width="240" /></a>Oh!! Sunday!! On Sunday a young woman brought her friend to church! She brought her about 2 months ago when I first came to this ward but hadn't come since. It was so great to see her again! She also said she will be back next week so hopefully we can start meeting with her! Super exciting miracles going all around.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
My companion did get a priesthood blessing this week for her health, and its been getting slowly better, but my companion and I would still love all of your prayers if you can spare them! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I don't know if any of you know that if you invite more than one companionship to eat dinner with you they can only be there for an hour. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
And you might not also know that is an exceptionally hard to keep that rule as a missionary in Korea.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
BUT</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
If you do keep that rule God sends you soooooooo many blessings!!! I think the harder the rule is to keep, the more blessings your receive as you obey it. We may have seemed a little rushed at all our dinner appointments recently, but I think it has for sure been leading to a lot of the blessings we have been seeing this week. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Besides that, I just love you all and I love being a missionary! :) </div>

Please Wait in Line. 2/13/17<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Hello friends and family!!</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
This title might seem kind of prideful and slightly exaggerated, but we truly have been receiving a LOT of referrals this week! We meet twice a week with the family that was referred to us last Sunday, and the kids are ADORABLE!!!!! They are the cutest!!!! We love meeting with them~~~~ They are so eager to learn and also have a lot of questions. The oldest boy said a prayer this last time with my companions help and also promised he would pray before he goes to sleep at night~ Seriously so cute~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Also his week we met a grandma and her daughter and granddaughter! The grandma loves her church, but her daughter isn't religious but seems to have interest in the Book of Mormon and the fact that our church is not in fact a man-made church. We will see how that goes! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I got stuck in bed for a few days this week with a fever and such. Grr. Its cool though, I will send you part of my letter to president this week about what I learned during that time: </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
"<span style="font-size: 13px;">In other news, I was sick this week so we had to be home-bound for about 2 days. That's not exactly my favorite thing, but I can say it oddly gave me time to think about grace. We aren't perfect, you know? If I was a perfect missionary, I would never be sick, so I would always be able to work, I would always talk to everyone, etc. I've always been a bit frustrated with myself for not being the healthiest of people, and getting sick so easily, but I learned something this week. Christ's Atonement covers everything, from spiritual to physical. His resurrection not only makes it possible for us to be resurrected, but to receive the grace of forgiveness for our physical weakness as well! In other words, the reason its okay for me not to be 100% healthy all the time is because of grace. As I learned and studied about this I had a opportunity to kneel down and thank my father in heaven and Savior for this great gift. Yeah, I'm a sickie (as my dad says it) but a happy one!!!!"</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
That's about how I feel! I have gotten a lot better, too. I got a blessing and that night I started to feel much better!! :) </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

People just kept showing up! Its a good thing there was a lot of (really good) food!!! :)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
It was also funny because on the way in we walked up to the elevator, then I looked at the elders and said, pointing to the stairs "There's the stairs, Elders." And it was a joke, but then 3 of them started up the stairs and the poor 4th Elder who wasn't really up for going up 10 flights of stairs just stared at them. It was quite the sight as they arrived at the 10th floor huffing and puffing! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We also prank called the zone leader last night and told him I was stuck in the bathroom because the door wouldn't open. (The same thing actually happened to 2 other sisters who lived in the house before, so I may have jinxed myself by doing it) It was super funny!! He was like "Well, we can go help you..." Even though it was like, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_35902836" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10pm</span></span>. So very nice. At one point my companion was like "BIG PROBLEM! This was all a lie." And he hung up. Then later he called and I said "Hello" and he said "No." So my comp asked "Are you okay?" "No." Haahahah we laughed a lot.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
The poor elders we serve with hahahaha.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Yeah, that was the week. Nothing toooo crazy went down. But it was awesome. I do want to share this quote with you though!</div>

This week we had transfers! I said goodbye to my adorable Sister Legaspi, but reunited with Sister Lee! I was her STL in Incheon Zone and its really fun to be with her. She really loves makeup, clothing, hair, music, being obedient, proselyting, joking around, and eating! Its a blast! :) </div>

After we got home we put her stuff down then studied, then after, we visited a LA members' store, then went to confirm another LA members' address, but she welcomed us in! We were super surprised! She talked a lot :) We think she might be a little lonely, shes older and lives alone. We talked a while, got a small message in and headed out to eat with a member. When we got there, to our surprise, she didn't remember inviting us! It was an interesting, slightly awkward experience. We ended up just going to sticker board instead! It was kind of funny because we all left her house and she said "Come back in an hour and I'll feed you!" but we all gathered around (the 6 missionaries in our ward) and discussed what we needed to do. We prayed to know whether we would sticker board, or if we should find a way to not meet with the member. After the prayer everyone waited a moment. Then I said "Well, I don't really know what to do, but I <i>did</i> think of an excuse we can use not to eat with her." Hahahaha and so we used that and went out and sticker boarded! </div>

<div>
We spent a lot of our time this week out and about! Talking with people, looking for houses, etc. Lots of fun! We met with a member this week who gave us their couch!!! That was cool. It was the old one they were throwing away. :)</div>
<div>
One of the Elders in our ward had a birthday this week! We got him cake, he was very happy~~</div>
<div>
There was a baptism in our ward this week!!! The Elders' investigator, Brother Lee. It was a really great day!! We sang "Gethsemane" and all the members were asking for the sheet music after! They really liked it. </div>
<div>
Part of my letter to president:<br />"<span style="font-size: 13px;">As far as our 3 new investigators, its a family! I'm sure Sister Lee will tell you about her fast this week, (she fasted for new investigators the day we got the referral!) but anyway, after church we got a 소개! It was originally for the Elders, but the dad isn't always home, so they gave them to us. The mom is open-minded about religion, and she also lived in Utah for a year so she's already had a lot of good contact with members! We are excited to see where it goes. Its the family English Program, and they have lots of English interest, but we see they have potential and even if we aren't the ones to help them to baptism we sure hope we continue to plant seeds!"</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

This last pday was a lot of fun, the zone got together to play board games! We played "Settlers of Zarahemla" something I haven't played in forever. It was quite the epic game. I didn't know what I was doing half the time, but somehow we won. XD The Elders we played against were not happy, I repeat, not happy that they were beat by a Sister. XD </div>

After, we went on exchanges with Sister Turner, which means she was helping us with our little kids English class! It was so much fun! She's so great!! The best part was playing UNO and trying to decide who was more competitive, all the little children, or Sister Turner. :) The next day she came to our house and had studies with us! It was a lot of fun, and we had a great language study with her as well, talking about almost everything but the language! XD</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We had exchanges with the Buchun sisters this week! I got to be together with my old companion from Incheon!!! It was a lot of fun. It was great to be back with her for a little while and talk and see how each other have grown in the past 2 transfers. :)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We had a great meeting with our investigator this week! We fasted with her last Sunday and this week (without us even asking her to) said that she would like to fast every month! We also talked with her a lot about the Spirit and she committed to come to church the first week of Feb!! Exciting!!!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I don't have lots of time left, but we sang in church this week! (The 6 missionaries in our ward) it went great! So many people told us how they loved it! One sister even said she cried :) I love how music invites the spirit!! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

It came, then it left for a bit, but I'm sure it will come back because it wants the party favors. Which means it will probably be back for the end of the party, just in time for Spring. XD </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Anyway, this week was great! And awesome! :) On Monday after p-day we met with our investigator we haven't met for a while and talked with her about fasting! We read a scripture with her about it and she proceeded to tell us that she had been thinking about fasting recently and wanted to try it but wasn't sure how and didn't quite have all the motivation she needed, but as we explained she asked very earnestly how she could do it! So we fasted with her this Sunday! It was really great! </div>

So we went back because we had to start class soon, but the sister ended up finding it alright. :D We have also discovered, if you'd like to teach a child a foreign language, the best way to help them memorize words is to play "Duck, duck, goose" and substitute "duck" and "goose" with the words you want them to learn. It works wonders! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Wow, besides that I feel like I don't have much to talk about! This week was all kind of just normal. I had a fun time going to the doctors to get my blood pressure checked and the doctor was trying to speak to me in English. Valiant soul. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We also had a fun time this week just walking around, visiting members and less actives. At one time we went to a villa where the address was, but didn't have a room number (this happens a lot XD) so we just start at the top of the villa and knock on every door asking for the person we are looking for. Usually nothing happens. No one is home, or they say it isnt the right house, so I was surprised when we knocked on a door and the person inside said "Yes, this is his house!" Turns out he didn't live there, but we were able to meet his mom and get her number, so that was sweet! The only problem is, I forgot to write down the room number after we left. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
He. He. He.</div>

가가호호!!!!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Besides all that, mission life is great! I have been learning a lot recently. This morning I was studying and pondering and got on the subject of becoming humble through finding joy in the success of others! I felt that a lot of peace of mind and heart will come as we seek to build others and find joy in their success we can be happy all the time! It so much more fun to live as we build each other and as each and every success adds to the joys of the kingdom of God! I think that as we do so humility will also follow, because we want others to do as well as, or better than we are! That's my thought for the week. I love you all!! Keep doing awesome things, and tell me about them, so I can joy with you as well!!! </div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I hope you are all having a good 2017. I'm still working on trying to write 2017 instead of 2016 all the time. XD </span><div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
This week we had a lot of meetings! I feel like a lot of missionary work is meetings.... XD I think its because we need to be reminded so often about how we can do missionary work better than we currently are. XD </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
This Monday for pday we made muddy buddies with the Elders in our ward, and our DL and his companion decided to join as well! So we made them and sat around talking about the tribes of Israel. I love being a missionary! Hehehe. That night we went to eat dinner at the restaurant of our RS president, but only us and one other set of Elders came, and she had to go to a funeral suddenly so it was just the four of us at the place, which was awkward so we all sat in funny places on the table to make it look better. XD The RS president's husband was there, so that was helpful. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
The next day we had MLC!! Woo all day meeting with mission leaders! Its always a blast! We have a time to stand up and report on the progress of our Zones, and its kind of funny because I'm the only solo STL so it looks funny I'm the only one reporting on our sisters. :)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
After MLC we went to meet a member who had referred her friend to us, we went with her to pick up her friends kids and take them to English class! Twas a lot of fun haha. In English class we played letter games, duck duck goose, and other fun stuff! Its really fun because its just us and the little kids. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
On Wednesday we met with the Zone leaders to plan zone training, and as we were talking our ZL got excited about something. A little toooooo excited. He totally ripped his pants. Super unfortunate, but also super hilarious. I'm laughing right now just thinking about it now. He was wearing a long jacket, so it was okay, but man it was soooooooooo funny. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Thursday we had Zone training! I was able to give a training about the doctrine of christ, then about maintaining/obtaining the Christlike attitude of humility. I had a really great time talking about it. I've really felt on my mission how much humility really does provide us with power and peace. If we really are seeking only to do the will of God with our lives, then whatever we do we will have His power with us to accomplish that work! I invited those attending to identify a phrase they often think or say that puts them at odds with the will of God and to discontinue its use. I know if you all do that as well it will bring you closer to God, and in turn provide you with the power you need to get through the things you are struggling with! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Went on exchanges with the Gaebong sisters! Sister Gamayon and I got to wander to find a LA sister's house, and we found it fine ( I was worried we would get lost) but as it so happens, we got lost on the way home! Ha! That was funny XD Except we had to run a lot and my companion was dying! XD She was so nice and patient about it. Its a good and bad thing that I "Adventure!" So often. Hehehhe.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Hmmm I can't think of much else to share, but I love you all and hope you all do great things!!! :)</div>

I hope you all had a wonderful week, I also hope is was at least almost as wonderful and awesome as ours! ;)</div>
<div>
Happy New Year again! I cannot believe its already 2017. I've officially spent all of last year as a missionary! Crazy. :0 </div>
<div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fi1F3TkQbkg/WNf_lnzBI6I/AAAAAAAABBA/akAmOHW3SVwR8BZ7tCupSRxprJqzn8hsACK4B/s1600/DSCN2689.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fi1F3TkQbkg/WNf_lnzBI6I/AAAAAAAABBA/akAmOHW3SVwR8BZ7tCupSRxprJqzn8hsACK4B/s320/DSCN2689.JPG" width="320" /></a>Wow~ So this week was pretty great! We started it off with a zone pday! We played Uno, ate chicken, played ping pong, and otherwise ran around and shot each other with toy guns. Twas a fun time. </div>
<div>
Tuesday we had our service activity again! Its always a lot of fun to go to the service center and give food to old people. They always say really nice things and tell us we are pretty :D So adorable. There is one lady in there though, she's like the old people mob boss. I'll let you imagine what that means. Its really fun. :D</div>
<div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QywzRaYVtvk/WNf_jWwnN9I/AAAAAAAABAk/vlvqFWkcMOoFhzd-BgK1JBkkBzg1b1JpwCK4B/s1600/DSCN2690.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QywzRaYVtvk/WNf_jWwnN9I/AAAAAAAABAk/vlvqFWkcMOoFhzd-BgK1JBkkBzg1b1JpwCK4B/s320/DSCN2690.JPG" width="320" /></a>We had an experience delivering food to the houses. We usually go in a group of 5 people with a shopping card we fill with lunch boxes and each person (or set of missionaries) takes the ones for a certain apartment complex and then comes back and gets more. Because my companion and I go together it makes more sense for us to take more lunchboxes, but the lady in our group sent us to the complex with only one. I didn't want to go. I thought it was silly to send both of us (four hands!) with one box, and I voiced my complaints to my companion. When we got to her house she opened the door with such excitement I think I was almost blown away with the force! XD hehehe she said "Thanks so much! Wait a second, let me get you something!" And she came and brought us a little drink and said "I'm so happy to see you come!" And it was so cute~! So I learned a lesson. Never complain, because sometimes God gives you blessings in disguise and if you complain about it you look really silly. XD It works on small and big scales everyone, God made this for you!</div>
<div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SaRtYdqtUuw/WNf_ludoj2I/AAAAAAAABBE/m9ixMC1F1MEUU4kjwCsA0r2pjE6SemQcQCK4B/s1600/DSCN2693.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SaRtYdqtUuw/WNf_ludoj2I/AAAAAAAABBE/m9ixMC1F1MEUU4kjwCsA0r2pjE6SemQcQCK4B/s320/DSCN2693.JPG" width="320" /></a>We met an investigator the other day who was doing the family English program, but had been kind of not keeping all the rules and such, so since it was my first time meeting her we decided to drop her! :) It was a pretty hard drop as far as I've seen. We basically told her we are here using God's time and that meeting with her wasn't what was best for the use of that time and only to contact us when she's ready to go to church! It all ended well, but it was very funny because at the end she started to ask me questions like "And how long will you be in Korea?" "Will you be here the whole time?" "Oh so you could still leave, right?"</div>
<div>
I don't think she likes me very much hahahaha</div>
<div>
Okay, now I suppose I will talk about the title. </div>
<div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-usBFOhGuaXs/WNf_lVCKEmI/AAAAAAAABA0/C2z6ztLzSqYHnMdxShPzWbNihmjaAgP6ACK4B/s1600/DSCN2699.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-usBFOhGuaXs/WNf_lVCKEmI/AAAAAAAABA0/C2z6ztLzSqYHnMdxShPzWbNihmjaAgP6ACK4B/s320/DSCN2699.JPG" width="320" /></a>So Sister Legaspi and I have a catchphrase if you will that we use quite often. "모험!" Which means "adventure" because every day is a really big adventure. Often because we find ourselves where we can't find ourselves (meaning, we get lost hehehe). So we just say its an adventure and go with it and we usually end up going where we need to go! A few days back we were visiting people in an apartment complex (Ipark) and then we were going to head to the next apartment complex (Hillstate). When we finished visiting we went to cross the street and lo and behold- Hillstate was right across the street from us! So we were pleasantly surprised. We went and visited, but no one was home where we went so we just went home and had dinner.</div>
<div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cYh4SlwUOhA/WNf_mRXe-sI/AAAAAAAABBM/RpBtRCK3qCMUzCMBcAeF4NwNrXjBEFhnACK4B/s1600/DSCN2717.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cYh4SlwUOhA/WNf_mRXe-sI/AAAAAAAABBM/RpBtRCK3qCMUzCMBcAeF4NwNrXjBEFhnACK4B/s320/DSCN2717.JPG" width="320" /></a>After dinner I looked at our map and became thoroughly confused because I was that Hillstate was in fact... Not located where we had found it! On the map Hillstate was a few blocks away... in the opposite direction! So my companion and I were thoroughly confused because it seemed to me that we had teleported! No matter how much I looked at the map, it didn't make sense and in fact only became more and more confusing! So we determined to walk back again and solve our teleporting mystery. </div>
<div>
As it turns out, our map is exceptionally old. Like, 8 years old. And, there are in this area 2 Hillstate apartments! So, we did not actually teleport, but we did have a very fun adventure! XD And through our adventure we were able to find a less active members house! Nice work, adventure!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think that's it for this week. Remember, God loves you! Having adventures is fun! And, dont ever take your situation for granted, it makes you look silly! XD :D Love you all!!! Keep on keeping on! Until next week~ <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kQX1S5gQVMw/WNf_mqkcQGI/AAAAAAAABBU/SFmoNr9VhOIcctxB8-fqB6EqKcrRbskxwCK4B/s1600/DSCN2725.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kQX1S5gQVMw/WNf_mqkcQGI/AAAAAAAABBU/SFmoNr9VhOIcctxB8-fqB6EqKcrRbskxwCK4B/s640/DSCN2725.JPG" width="640" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uzFOu4Qp06s/WNf_lG2VdzI/AAAAAAAABAs/gIghFb62En8emO3mJQ9FMytbYiIzPrU7ACK4B/s1600/DSCN2739.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uzFOu4Qp06s/WNf_lG2VdzI/AAAAAAAABAs/gIghFb62En8emO3mJQ9FMytbYiIzPrU7ACK4B/s320/DSCN2739.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k9QOCTfvaaU/WNf_mtv50JI/AAAAAAAABBc/E-ufRSg0x6IkBrKVDNB-aLoWu_ywYZGXwCK4B/s1600/DSCN2758.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k9QOCTfvaaU/WNf_mtv50JI/AAAAAAAABBc/E-ufRSg0x6IkBrKVDNB-aLoWu_ywYZGXwCK4B/s320/DSCN2758.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E0uLwFUWdR4/WNf_m8LCZVI/AAAAAAAABBk/_W7_IgMBZ4ck3Grf5y_-0dLXKPsT6tE3wCK4B/s1600/DSCN2766.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E0uLwFUWdR4/WNf_m8LCZVI/AAAAAAAABBk/_W7_IgMBZ4ck3Grf5y_-0dLXKPsT6tE3wCK4B/s320/DSCN2766.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

This week was crazy sauce! Especially the last two days. My companion and I have been saying a phrase over and over again "This has been the (craziest, weirdest, oddest, etc.) Christmas (and eve) ever!" And it probably will be until the day I die. Who knows though? Wherever we go the crazy seems to follow, so who needs to put absolutes on stuff, right?</div>

I shall include some for your viewing pleasure. :)</div>

So I did. And then we talked to her about who we are. She thought I was from England haha. XD The place we were talking was at a crosswalk and we needed to cross, so when the light turned green we would go to cross and say goodbye but we just kept talking. We ended up not crossing 3 times! In the end we gave her a Book of Mormon and all went well.^^ </div>

The next day we had our service activity! We deliver food to old people and then help other old people at the cafeteria take their food to their place and clear their trays and such when they are done. Its a lot of fun~ </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Right after we headed to the mission home for our Christmas Zone conference! It was really fun! They had some really exciting announcements about next year, including that <b><i><u>Elder Holland will be coming in February</u></i></b>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <b><u>YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I AM SO EXCITED I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE ELDER HOLLAND THIS IS THE COOLEST I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY, BUT NOT JUS</u>T CUZ I GET TO SEE APOSTLES, ALSO BECAUSE OF MISSIONAR</b>Y STUFF ANd yeah enough of that. I'm excited, you know. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Now, in our mission we have a rule that sisters are not allowed to proselyte to, or talk with someone who is a male on the street unless they initiate conversation, and with that we are supposed to try to keep it as brief as possible, with that in mind I share the following story.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_HYdVoaOuA0/WNf5U1vRARI/AAAAAAAAA_M/yYmMW77TCdgdrKqILCwV6zoSK1v8g8beQCK4B/s1600/DSCN2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_HYdVoaOuA0/WNf5U1vRARI/AAAAAAAAA_M/yYmMW77TCdgdrKqILCwV6zoSK1v8g8beQCK4B/s320/DSCN2529.JPG" width="320" /></a>On the way back from ZC we were on the subway. Two chairs down from me a young man sat down and began to study English vocabulary words. As I sat there I just kept getting the feeling I needed to stare at his English vocabulary paper. So I did. After about 5 minutes of staring on and off at his paper, pretending to read it, he looked at me and said in English "Hi" to which I responded. He told me he is learning English and has a lot of desire to learn. Long story short I told him about our English class and gave him the Elders number for the ward he lives closest to. I'll keep you all updated about how it turns out! I think he will be a great investigator later! :)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Christmas eve was interesting. I will relate a story that I told my mission president because I don't want to type it all again!! :)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
"<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We were practicing our skit for Christmas with the Elders when we got a call from someone who's name and a date was saved in our phone, but there was no information. She asked if she could meet with us right then and since we didn't have any pressing appointments we said that we could. We met her at the station. When I first saw her something was a little off, she seemed a bit nervous, if you will. She said she wanted to eat with us, so we followed her to the restaurant even though we had just eaten lunch. I said a lot of prayers that we could eat what we needed to! When we sat down she was asking our names, if we attended the Christian college in our area, etc. Then someone else came in, her friend and she sat down with us as well. Her friend was apparently a missionary for her church and the first thing she asked us was "Try to explain God to me." And it affirmed my fears, that this conversation was going to go in a very wrong direction if we didn't handle it right. I had a constant prayer in my heart as I bore my testimony. She shot back her ideas and thoughts and we listened, but when the time came we continued to testify of the savior and of Heavenly Father. At one point I asked them "Was the purpose of this meeting for you to push your opinions on us, to make us believe what you believe, and proselyte to us?" And the person who invited us was a little stunned. Her missionary friend had a pause before she kept talking about whatever. When there was a break I bore testimony again and told them simply I know why I am here and that what I am doing is pleasing God. I told them if they were truly interested in our message to contact us, but that this was not what God called us here to do, and then we left. It felt so great to testify, and then get out of there! I know we did what God would have us do in that situation! </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
As soon as we left out the door a voice behind us asked if we were Mormon missionaries, to which we said yes. He had had interest in learning about our church and had read the Book of Mormon in college, but didn't have a copy. He attended a different church, but accepted the copy of the Book of Mormon we gave him and gave us his number. I know God wanted us to be there at that time, and even though in the moment it wasn't the most fun, it had a happy ending."</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Yeah. Later on that night we had a crazy time when a potential investigator was supposed to come to the Christmas party, but was a little late so we waited forever for her call and we were chilling by the front door waiting when she called and couldn't find the church, so we ran out into the cold Christmas eve night to find her car so we could lead her back, but my companion wasn't wearing a coat! We finally found her and led her back, but my companion was coatless the whole time! Fortunately, she hasn't gotten sick! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Christmas eve we sat down to plan and had a moment when we realized that we had no appointments for the next day! We planned to skype, have church, and then after that we had nothing to do! So we decided we would go carol to members. All throughout church no one mentioned or asked about whether or not we were going to eat lunch or dinner, and so church ended and we still had no one to eat with. 정말 어이없었어요!!!! So, while we waited for the time my companion would Skype we ate Ramen at the church for lunch. Then just before she Skyped a member suddenly called and invited us for dinner! WE WERE SO HAPPY!!! WE DIDNT HAVE TO EAT RICE AND EGGS FOR DINNER!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I don't have anything against rice and eggs.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Its just, if you eat rice and eggs so many times....</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Actually, we met the member, ate awesome food, and then she turned to us and expressed that she had been having a hard time recently and she really wanted to hear all 6 (because yes, the Elders also had no appointments that day hehehe) of the missionaries testimonies about Christ. We testified and were able to become a big strength to her that day. I learned a valuable lesson about gratitude and humility. There was a good reason God made sure we had no appointments that day and honestly, it would have been a good opportunity to be bitter, but I know that was His plan! Because he loves his children he wanted us to be there for her and prepared the way for that to happen. I learned I am an ungrateful, prideful child and have much need of repentance. I am so grateful for my Savior.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9hxe6Ha0Y6c/WNf1mZ2QSYI/AAAAAAAAA8U/yB_AzJpAeAo6EH-2DrRcWC_scDNSC_3GACK4B/s1600/P161203002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9hxe6Ha0Y6c/WNf1mZ2QSYI/AAAAAAAAA8U/yB_AzJpAeAo6EH-2DrRcWC_scDNSC_3GACK4B/s400/P161203002.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
First off, before we get to my amazing week, lets talk about transfers! But before that lets give a little background, Sister An (my companion)'s little brother will be moving to out ward in January to stay with her aunt and study English, so we told the mission president about it who said he would take it into account when he put transfers together. So, naturally we thought that even though she only has a transfer left, she would need to be transferred to a different area. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x7-TZaumYi4/WNf1mDmAe0I/AAAAAAAAA8M/V8ylHV9jboomU8c1ahcLToW5DHhgtzEVQCK4B/s1600/P161128001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x7-TZaumYi4/WNf1mDmAe0I/AAAAAAAAA8M/V8ylHV9jboomU8c1ahcLToW5DHhgtzEVQCK4B/s400/P161128001.jpg" width="300" /></a>We got transfer calls this Saturday. The result: Sister An will stay here in Cheogna as the Incheon STL with a new companion, because I am headed to Hwagok! For the first time in my mission I'm actually going to be serving in the Seoul area! Wow, crazy. XD My companion will be Sister Legaspi! My first non-Korean companion! She's from the Philippines Wow!!!!!! Crazy!!!!! So, I may not have a Korean now, but we are still keeping up the non- American streak. XD She's starting her 3rd transfer now, so she's still fresh out in the field! I'm so excited! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
The reason for the title of the email is that I only spent one transfer here in Cheongna, Sister An only has one transfer left, and when I go to the new zone (Gangso) I will be a solo STL! Usually two sisters work together as STLs in a companionship, but I've been assigned solo, which means all the training and STL stuff will be done for that zone solely by yours truly! Wow! Woo hoo! XD Its gonna be a fun transfer!!! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Aside from all that, this week was pretty good! We basically had meeting after meeting, training after training, so now its time to go out and be 150% of the missionary I was before! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We went to the temple this Thursday! It was so great! We did baptisms for the dead this time before the session. It was so great! It was apparently the last time the missionaries would be doing it, so it was cool to participate. I love doing baptisms for the dead. Its one of my favorite parts of the temple. :D</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
After we did that we went out ice skating as a zone! Anyang zone also joined us. It was super fun! :) It was fun to see sooooo many missionaries all together having fun on the ice. Fortunately, no one fell too bad, except one Elder, but we won't worry about that. XD </div>

Funny story:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-32nAlYUhJeo/WNf1oOaqupI/AAAAAAAAA88/E8N2lsPgKeUca5_8P05IE_YbzTt5jK36ACK4B/s1600/DSCN2415.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-32nAlYUhJeo/WNf1oOaqupI/AAAAAAAAA88/E8N2lsPgKeUca5_8P05IE_YbzTt5jK36ACK4B/s400/DSCN2415.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
One day I was in the bathroom washing my hands when I heard a sound in the ceiling, so I called my companion and said I heard something. She came over. I was standing in the bathroom wearing our only pair of bathroom slippers, so she decided to get up on the toilet (as per her usually bathroom shoeless practice) but as she got up on it the lid broke off and she went tumbling to the floor! So now our toilet lid is broken. Heheh woo hoo. XD</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We also bought more bathroom slippers.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Hmmmm not much else to say! I'm all packed up, ready for a new adventure in Seoul! Missions are great! I hope you all keep treating the missionaries well, and if you'd like to do me a favor, but them lunch and listen to what they have to say. Its a vicarious gift for me. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Call the missionaries up, and say this. "I would like to take you out to lunch, and I would love to hear a message from God for me through you." That would be a Christmas present to me! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
"This is my only Christmas wish!" </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
That, and you should all do the light the world project. Its awesome.</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Other than we went bowling last Monday! Super fun stuffs. I didn't take pictures because my companion took A BUNCH. Twas a lot of fun though. True to form I was not so great, but it was a good time.</div>

It was really great! All the Sister missionaries in the mission got together and watched skits, heard talks, and we were all generally edified. My companion, another Sister were chosen to talk at the conference! We also got to present a skit! The theme was on confidence, being bold, and not comparing yourself to others. It went really great! I had a great time talking to the sisters about being confident and that they need to understand where their worth comes, and that as they do so everything will all work out! It was so cool to hear sisters come up to me and my companion and tell us we had said exactly what they needed to hear! I felt so great! </div>

Wow, yeah other than that there isn't much news from this week. We've been having a lot of fun walking a lot, visiting members, looking for less actives, and overall just doing missionary work. We are also having fun proselyting! Woo share the light! </div>

Speaking of, don't forget to keep up on the #Lighttheworld initiative everyone! Its a great way to bring the Christmas spirit and make everyone's day a little brighter! I'm doing my best here in Korea to represent the restored gospel of Jesus Christ here in Korea, and I hope you can all do your best as well, wherever you are! The light of Christ isn't just for America, or Korea, etc. Its for everyone! And its best shared through the people who know it best! </div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I have been with other missionaries from our stake so much this week!!! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Its been really fun, just adds to the awesomeness of missionary life! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We had a really great fireside last night about the "happy things" of missionary life! It was sooooooooo great! My companion gave a talk, and all the missionaries got together for a super powerful musical number~ Our zone leader, Elder Yoon said "Now during our musical number, I need to designate a few of you to cry. We need tears." XD XD XD That's not the first time he's said that kind of thing either! We got together for practice a few days ago, it was really fun! I love being with all the other missionaries. I especially love being the designated translator! Its a lot of fun, plus I do some add-ons to the translation which, you know me, makes everything so much more hilarious! ;)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Now I'm probably done talking about the fact that I am funny. Like how I slipped that in there? He. He. He.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Now! Lets talk about humility!</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
This week I was studying and I kept noticing this phrase "Pray to resist temptation" and things like that. I haven't really thought much of it to be honest, but then it hit me a few days back. I haven't really been asking for God's help to keep me on the right track! Of course I do my best to live worthy to receive it, but I haven't been actively asking, seeking and knocking! Wow I realized that and sat in awe about how prideful I've been about trying to resist temptation, and that's why I mess up so much! It was a funny moment for me. I learned a lot. I am not very good a resisting temptation. The big things, sure I am good with that, but its the small stuff, the little things that I really need the help with! Don't worry everyone, I have gotten a great big taste of medicine this week- and for all those of you who need the same, I invite you to drink freely of the waters of repentance! ;) </div>

Anyway! In other news, this week we went on a bunch of exchanges with other sisters. It was a lot of fun. We also had lots of planning meetings and practices. I feel like we did so much this week, but honestly that's about it! Twas a lot of fun though! Planning, practice, exchanges, member lessons. That was my life this week!</div>

I'll share some stories I wrote in my email to my mission president this week: </div>
<div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SC4wGdNKYUU/WNfwrMKiMOI/AAAAAAAAA44/qpxsWIgF_9sjjxXgwtaU29ctdeTNwVmigCK4B/s1600/DSCN2206.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SC4wGdNKYUU/WNfwrMKiMOI/AAAAAAAAA44/qpxsWIgF_9sjjxXgwtaU29ctdeTNwVmigCK4B/s320/DSCN2206.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OgNb4KlrGao/WNfwsXkxJaI/AAAAAAAAA5I/qbTyxp4GYawW9X3dq8NCQO6f7geZ61EkACK4B/s1600/DSCN2200.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OgNb4KlrGao/WNfwsXkxJaI/AAAAAAAAA5I/qbTyxp4GYawW9X3dq8NCQO6f7geZ61EkACK4B/s320/DSCN2200.JPG" width="240" /></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">"</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Sister An and I were so busy this week! Even without a plethora of appointments we managed to keep ourselves quite busy visiting members and less actives and such! We spent a lot of time just visiting members suddenly- we've seen it a lot in the work here that the members feel a lot of 부담 to give meals to missionaries. Honestly, I couldn't care less about eating with them! Of course you build 정 as you eat with them and talk with them about their lives, but because its our purpose to help strengthen them spiritually I'd so much rather like to focus on that! So, as it turns out, most of our lessons with members this week really were just when we visited with them for 10-20 minutes, shared a message, then went back to work! Its been really great! I love being able to get to know them for a little bit, hear their testimonies and then head back out to do other stuff! </span><div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gazrgutLRZQ/WNfwq1BBfaI/AAAAAAAAA4o/g1ze-Bs3EpIGH1RadOiXoUyn1gyhbaMoQCK4B/s1600/DSCN2253.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gazrgutLRZQ/WNfwq1BBfaI/AAAAAAAAA4o/g1ze-Bs3EpIGH1RadOiXoUyn1gyhbaMoQCK4B/s320/DSCN2253.JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uq1JRFCZOFE/WNfwrO8EREI/AAAAAAAAA40/oRBoSXW8wIYMyhlMyWJce-rJnxlUldG9ACK4B/s1600/DSCN2245.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uq1JRFCZOFE/WNfwrO8EREI/AAAAAAAAA40/oRBoSXW8wIYMyhlMyWJce-rJnxlUldG9ACK4B/s320/DSCN2245.JPG" width="240" /></a>We had a few miracles this week, one of which was a less active. We visited her on Wednesday and talked with her. We actually mostly listened. She had a lot of things to say about her life ever since she was a child. She's had it rough. So we listened to her story, then took some time to bear simple testimony about the power of the sacrament. We invited her to attend this week. When Sunday rolled around we were standing at the door greeting and my companion says "Sister Choi!!!" We were both so excited to see her there- and she had brought her two kids with her! It was such a miracle to see her there. :)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Another miracle was when we were on exchanges. I went to the Incheon 2nd ward with Sister -. We went to visit a less active woman and stopped by a members house along the way. I know I knew the members name when I heard it, but I couldn't remember who she was to save my life! So we visited and she ended up being home along with her less active daughter! :D We got to share a message with them, it went well. The member cried. We think partly because she felt the spirit, and partly because she wanted her daughter to come back so badly. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

If I had remembered who she was I might have been more hesitant to stop by and visit in the first place! God truly works in mysterious ways!"</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
So that sums up the miracles for the week! We've been having a really great time here in Cheongna together! Missionary work just goes so well when you and your companion are both ready and willing to move the work forward! The same goals and desire to give it your all make missionary work the best it can be! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Funny story: We had our exchange, and we went to visit a member before, and I realized I totally forgot to pack! So I was like "I guess I'll just have to go with it." So we waited at the church for the member and she called saying she would be late, but we had an appointment right after so we just cancelled with her and I had time to go back and pack before the next appointment. Heavenly Father loves me. :D</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Don't forget to pack, everyone. Its important.</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
So! Week two has officially started in Cheongna serving as an STL. For the first time since I started my mission I was able to go on exchanges as a leader! Its been cool. I love it. Being an STL means I have lots of responsibility to help encourage, lift, teach, and support the other sisters in my area, but it means I have that much joy also!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Funny story- I'm writing this email from Gimpo! Which, if you must know, is 1 hour from our area! Last night we got a call from the sisters serving here because they needed help from leaders. So, we got on a bus and rode an hour to get here. But, we had been fasting (because this week was fast Sunday) so we hadn't eaten all day. We got there around seven, helped until 8, then went to eat food at their house really quick because I was dying. Turns out I might have delayed eating just a titch too much because my stomach hurt sooooo bad (You know, when the abnormal amount of stomach acid you have just decides to eat you from the inside out? That kind of hurt.) so we couldn't make it home! Instead we had a missionary sleepover! (No worries, we got permission from the mission president. No apostasy.)</div>

This week I look back and ask myself "What on earth did I do?" And then I realize the majority of my time was spent on buses and subways proselyting. :P I also went to the Youngdengpo church building and had a language evaluation teaching lessons in Korean to the AP (assistant to the mission presient) no pressure! It was cool though, he said it was practically perfect! Sweeeettttt. Another Elder I served with in Pyeongtaek sent a message saying the AP had told him all about how I did a good job. (He went in for the eval just after me) So, that was a bonus! Now if only I could figure out English again....</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
So, right I went on exchanges this week. I went to a different area. We went to go visit a members house, but she (my temporary companion) had only gotten to the area a week before so still didn't know much about how to get around. We got on a bus, but ended up going to complete wrong direction! So we had to get off, and then get back on another bus, and we ended up getting to their house really late, so we dropped off the cookies for their bday and then rannnnnnnnnn to the bus. We ran so much that night. My companion was going to collapse she was so tired! We ended up getting in late though. We had to call our Zone leaders haha. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Oh yeah! It was my birthday! So I was on exchanges, so I didn't really do anything special, but when I went back to my area we had English class. When I told them it was my birthday they didn't believe me haha. One of the class members, Jimmy, said he had to leave early and ducked out. But 5 minutes later came back with a Korean snack thing in a package and gave it to me and said "Happy Birthday!" It was very nice of him. I will send a picture. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
My companion bought me a cupcake and we got a candle and lit it and ate a cupcake and it was fun. She has one of those cameras that prints a picture as soon as you take it, so she took a picture of me with my cupcake and gave it to me as my present. It was very cute. It was the most simple birthday I've ever spent, but it was really fun!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Friday was Pepero day! Its a Korean holiday where everyone makes/buys this snack and gives it to other people. (The thing Jimmy gave me). Total, this week I got 8! Happiness. :)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Besides all that, because it was my first official Sunday In this area I got to give a short into talk in church! I've been here long enough and gave enough transfer talks I was finally able to get everyone to laugh a lot! I have officially succeeded. Its always fun to make people laugh. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I don't have much time! Gotta go!!! Just know this week was awesome and I love you all!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Well! Remember how I told you about the Halloween party last week? Well we did it, and it turned out great! Lots more people came than expected, and we had a super fun time!!! I was a ghost in the ghost house and I scared a lot of people and 'felt bad' about it after. It was actually really fun. XD </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

Twas a lot of sitting on the floor and writing. Not my favorite part of missionary work, but hey, it'll be good for the new sisters! He he. Records. Not fun, but needed. We can't ever be lazy about it. I've opened an area, I know how hard it is. :P</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
We had our zone training on Wednesday. It was funny because my future companion, Sister An gave the training! I got to watch and be like "That's going to be me in a month." Because we will give the December training together. :) Super fun. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
Part of my letter to president: "<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We met with an investigator this week for our last lesson- last because we were transferring, and last because we dropped her. She is super nice, loves missionaries, etc. But she wouldn't accept commitments and such. She was willing to learn information, but not willing to learn with the spirit. Dropping her was a very good experience. We were able to understand and help each other to understand our role and explain exactly what we were offering her."</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

We had to say goodbye to our investigator, but we can put her safely in the Lords hands and trust His timing for her.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Friday was my last full day in Incheon 2nd ward. It already feels like ages ago. We went to meet and eat with a member, but when we got there she sat us down, paid, and left quickly saying her daughter broke her finger! So my companion and I just got to eat a bunch of meat. It was fun ahah but both of us were like "Well... okay..." </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We had a meeting to coordinate English class. Sister Park and I were leaving the next day though, so we just kind of sat and listened thinking "None of this applies to me, why am I here?" and at the end our district leader said "I was going to have a surprise going away party for you guys, but I didn't have time or money to buy yummy stuff. So we won't have a party. Woo." And that was that. But we did pass our planners around and write notes in each others planners. Elder Kim drew a picture of what I looked like when I was a ghost and wrote "Please don't do that again." Because it really freaked him and the other 3 Elders out a lot. Hahaha. >:)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Saturday we transferred! Twas an adventure! Its great to be in a new area! And I've been here a few times for various activities so it didn't feel all that unfamiliar. We ended up walking a lot and heading to visit LA members. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Sunday we had stake conference, and since I stayed in the same stake I got to see all the Incheon 2nd ward members! And my previous companion also stayed in the same stake too! I saw her and said "Long time no see!" And she said " I saw you yesterday, it hasn't been that long." I think she took it literally. XD haah </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">I will tell you a story from this Sunday through my email to President: "</span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">esterday we went to visit a member. We were going to take a bus, but the bus only comes every 20 minutes. When it came we tried to get on, but it didn't stop! So we decided to try another way. We took a bus and tried to transfer but it didn't work out. Things just kept going wrong it seemed. We finally got on a bus and booked it to the members house when we got off. We were late. Nonetheless, we shared our message, asked for referrals, and then headed home. </span><div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
On the bus on the way back I overheard the conversation of two women in the back. They were talking about church. They were discussing where they should go, and how they would know which church would be the right one to attend. They said things like "You just have to ask God, He will tell you." As I listened I wanted to share a Restoration pamphlet with them. So I pulled it out and got ready to give it to them. As I turned around, I looked at my companion who was sitting in the seat in front of them and she was holding two Restoration pamphlets in her hand. Unity! XD She gave them the pamphlets and they took them, but they had to get right off the bus, but they both seemed very interested and we hope lots of good things will come of it!! I think back, if we hadn't been late we wouldn't have met them. I also think it was partly a blessing for having the courage to ask the members for referrals. When I was a new missionary, and throughout my missionary experience I have seen that when we don't ask for referrals, we don't have investigators! But, if we ask, even if we don't get a referral directly from the member, we may receive blessings in other ways we didn't expect!"</div>
<div>
So, all in all this transfer is off to a great start- I'm excited to be an STL here and lead and guide the work here! Its going to be great!!! </div>
