<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;">One thing on our bucket list we had always wanted to do is to go on a cruise through the Panama Canal. We finally decided to just do it. So in September we asked our mission friends, the Whitings if they want to go with us so we decided to get together.</span></span><br />

We stayed at Sunny's in Tucson on Thursday night after our Temple assignment. She took us to the airport Friday morning. We had not chosen seats for the flight, so we ended up with the unused seats which were right behind first class! A man next to Alan was also going on the cruise. He got a last minute ticket and decided to go.</div>

LAX was very busy and is larger than we thought. It has expanded over the years. We had to take a bus from the gate where we landed to the main terminal for our luggage. We saw this ANA plane (Japanese Airline)</div>

We took a shuttle to the port and began the process of getting aboard. Once aboard we went to lunch until we were able to get into our rooms. It was a small room, but it turned out OK for us once we figured out to stow our luggage under the beds.</div>

Our morning began with a devotional by Brother Lund about dealing with adult children. Some of the Lund's children are not active in the church so he had special insights to dealing with them. He taught about the Principles of Divine Intervention in Alma 13, Bind the Lord to His Promise in Mosiah 5, D&C 76:31 - 44 (All the rest will be redeemed), Teachings of Orson F Whitney in April 1929 that our posterity will be blessed, (Encyclopedia of Mormonism) </div>

Then we went off the ship for a little excursion. Since it was Sunday, we decided to not swim, but we took a ride on a glass bottom boat out to the bottom point of Baja. We had the boat drop us off and we walked back to the port. It was nice to have cool cloths to wash our hands and face before we got back on the ship.</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You cannot carry out the Lord’s plan in the Devil’s way. Humility, Prayer, and Diligence will allow</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">the Lord to Divinely Intervene. He will do it in His own time, and His own way, and according to His</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">own will (D&amp;C 88:68). Humility, Prayer, and Diligence sanctify you before the Lord. The Lord’s time</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">includes the Spirit World and the Millennium. Joseph Smith passionately taught, “It is not all to be</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">comprehended in this world; it will be a great work to learn our salvation and exaltation even beyond the</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">grave” (TPJS p. 348). This is true for you and your loved ones. Be patient and try the Lord’s plan. His</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">plan works. Have FAITH in God’s plan, HOPE in Christ, and CHARITY for your loved ones. Read the</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">following scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:19 and Moroni chapter 7. You do not have the power to change</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">the heart of your loved one; God does and will if you do what you have been called to do, which is to</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Take Your Love to Your Loved Ones and Take Your Frustrations to the Lord in Honest Prayer. The</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lord will divinely intervene in this life or the next. Following are the five principles of Divine</span><br />

January 30 2018 was a long day for us! We went to the temple with the missionaries and had lunch with our friends at Taco Loco for the last time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Then we were headed back to the apartment for the final packing. We decided to stop at Dongdaemun for a few more ties first. After we got the ties and were almost back to the apartment, Alan realized that he had left his temple bag at the tie shop !! But we continued home to get the rest of our baggage since Sister Sonksen was on the way to pick us up for the airport. She took us back to the tie shop on the way. It started snowing! Beautiful, but it slowed traffic down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a little confusion at the airport because our itinerary had allowed for 3 checked bags each, but the agent was only going to allow for 2. Did we want to repack everything? President Sonksen was just going to pay the extra fee when the agent got a call back telling her to allow the extra bags! Then I realized that I had left a bag at the apartment. It had my wallet (which I never had to carry in Seoul) and our extra tablet along with the earphones that I'd planned to use on the plane. I thought he had taken it out and he thought I had it. We were just rushing too much. Plus, I had had two extra chances (my guardian angel nudging me?) to go back to the apartment. One time, the door just did not close as I was headed to the elevator. Then I had to go back to leave something for the young missionaries to pick up. And still I missed it! This all added to an extra level of stress. Oh well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because of the snow storm, they had to de-ice the plane before taking off, so add an extra hour to that long flight. We were really happy to arrive in Dallas. It went fairly well getting through customs and checked back in for our final leg to Tucson. We somehow got waved through to the short lines. We had a family from the Seoul English Branch on the plane too. They were headed to Michigan for their next assignment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was nice to see so many of our family at the airport. Everyone has grown up a lot!</div>

So, we have been released, talked in church, packed up the winter gear (the weather has been glorious here), and taken care of some other things. We have a few more things to figure out, but trust that it will come together for us.</div>

We were able to attend a session at the Tucson Temple on Saturday. It is a beautiful temple! It feels larger than I expected. Bigger than the Seoul temple, but the same sweet spirit is there. We met several friends too, but I was especially touched to see a sweet sister who had been our children's Primary teacher for years in the Midvale Ward. She wanted to know how "her children" are!</div>

It turned cold on us this week. It got below 0 F (-18 C). We had to practice wearing lots of layers again. Some of the mission apartments had problems due to frozen water pipes. We woke up one morning with no hot water, but we were able to get it thawed out later in the day.</div>

On Saturday, the Sonksens participated in an opening ceremony for the Mormon Helping Hands Center in Gangneung. It is right across the street from the train depot. There will be lots of people coming and going to the Olympic Venues here. We have our Spanish and Japanese speaking elders assigned to this area. Visitors can come to warm up, recharge their phones and learn about the gospel! We're already hearing good reports and the missionaries are forming great relationships with the city leaders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They announced in church that they will have some special visitors next Sunday. Elder and Sister Gay, Sister Oscarson, Sister Eubanks, and Alex Boye! They will also have a concert and devotional. So, well, it will be great. We will miss it by just a few days. Exciting times, but we get to go home to our family!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Are the weeks going faster? Or is it just me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We welcomed two new couples to the mission this week. One couple is assigned to the mission office as our replacements and the other couple has a unique assignment to do church history and records management in Korea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One couple had problems getting here. The plane they were on had mechanical issues, which made them miss the connecting flight. They ended up arriving about 14 hours late and her luggage caught up to them the following day. That was a long day but they were in good spirits and recognized that it had given them an opportunity to help someone along the way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We helped them get into their apartments and showed them around town a little. They now know how to get to the mission office, to the temple and to church plus a few other places. (And back home!) Once they recover from the jet lag, they'll be fine!<br />
<br />
President Sonksen had some health issues this week, so we were glad to be able to help out with the new couples. He is on the mend now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had the youth from the Seoul Stake at the office on Friday and Saturday. They are on winter break now. They had lots of fun activities. They invited us to lunch too.</div>

They were chopping vegetables and cooking up a storm! We could smell the garlic! There were rice cookers plugged in all over the place. I forgot to take a picture of all the kids. It was fun to have them there. They served jajong bop (black bean sauce with vegetables over rice).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday we had temple day with one group of missionaries. I took this picture to show us the entrance to a home at the temple.</div>

It was a bit crowded, but nice we could get so many missionaries together. (22 I think) Having it here made it convenient for the temple missionaries to be able to come. We ordered tacos and burritos from our favorite Mexican food place. They are so nice to us!</div>

Today was our branch conference. We were one of the first church units to have the opportunity to sustain our new Prophet and First Presidency. The speakers emphasized keeping the Sabbath day. Since we live in Korea, there are often rumors of war here. We need to be obedient so we can hear the promptings of the Spirit and receive the protection we desire.</div>

We're beginning to tell some of our friends "Good Bye" now. We have delivered some cookies to our friends at the bank and at the taco place that have been kind to us. One of our senior couples has completed their temple assignment. They have extended their call to serve in the area where the Olympics will be held. We look forward to hearing about their experiences there.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So it was a pretty fun night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've been preparing for two new senior couples. They arrive on Tuesday. One couple will be our replacements and the other couple will be here to work on church history. So, we've been cleaning and packing our stuff so our replacements can move in here. We'll go to another apartment that has been vacant for a month. And the other place is a new apartment we've been trying to find for a while now. On Saturday the elders and Alan & Elder Whiting moved some things into the new place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The supervisor for the new couple wanted to see the apartment, so we met him on Thursday to show it to him. Then he took us to dinner. It was interesting to hear about the church in the early days here in Korea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've also done some reorganizing at the office. We moved out some cabinets. It is much more spacious. Why did we wait so long to do this? Our new APs have been working on training for the missionaries to begin using Facebook and other apps for proselyting. Elder Bednar has said that we will be turning the "Trickle into a Flood" of missionary opportunities. I remember when my brother went on his mission that he had a neat little flannel board to help teach the plan of salvation. Now the missionaries can show a video on their phones!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile, in Peru, our grandson has finished his training at the MTC and has arrived at his mission in Cuzco. This is his mission president and his family. Jacob has been assigned to Puno which is on the shore of Lake Titicaca high in the Andes. His trainer is the son of one of the moms that Sunny met on the mission Facebook page. They will not be using smart phones here but I'm sure he will have some amazing experiences.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were asked to speak in church today about service. We have had a great example set by President Monson. We have loved the members of the Seoul English Branch.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The other day at the office I checked Facebook and then I gasped. The elders asked me "What happened?" I saw the message that President Monson had died. We'll always remember we were in Korea when that happened. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of our little Chinese/Korean sisters told us in testimony meeting that she had been having a hard time deciding what to do in her life with her baby (he is now 13). She was in Utah at the time and got to go to a woman's conference and heard President Monson speak. Afterwards, she was at a dinner and saw President Monson and she went up to him and told him how much she appreciated his talk about "You are Not Alone" She said he was a huge mountain of a man! She is tiny! She will always remember and appreciate his support. He truly lived a life full of service.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We celebrated the New Year by going out to eat on the base again at Dragon Hill Lodge (after we had staff meeting). They have a pretty awesome buffet. On the way there, I got a message from Sister Smith (from our Japan mission). She told us she knows the new mission president coming to replace the Sonksens! The Taylors live in the Smith's ward in Provo! It really is a small world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was transfer week. It turned out to be one of the craziest ever. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">We were expecting two new missionaries to come from the MTC. Only one of them made it. They leave Utah on Monday, but it's Tuesday afternoon by the time they arrive in Korea because of the date change. So on the office email, we get a copy of an email from the elder that he sent to his family. He went to the travel office early Monday morning to leave for the airport. He opened his travel info and found that they had mixed up his passport. He had a sister's passport in his packet and his passport was not there, so he could not travel. Good thing he sent us a copy of his letter because we did not hear from the travel people at all. (It was New Years)</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">They found his passport in SLC and got him on another flight, so he arrived on Thursday night. He was actually born in Kazakhstan and adopted as a baby so we know more about Kazakhstan than he does.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">And, on Wednesday night, the rest of the missionaries going home were having a testimony meeting at the mission home. Sister Sonksen got a call telling them that there was a sister at the airport waiting to get picked up! We had no idea she was coming, but she had been waiting for 3 hours and finally she borrowed somebody's phone and called her mother (she is from Korea.) They told her to get in a taxi to go to the mission home. She has been called to the Philippines but had not received her visa for the Philippines and her US visa was expiring. So she will be with us for a while then go to her mission. She will not need to take all her winter clothing with her!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We also had two Korean sisters that have injuries. They have been sent home to rest and recover. Maybe surgery? They plan to be back to the mission soon.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Everybody else going home left on Thursday. Some left at different times and we went to help deliver the new sister to her apartment. So, that was interesting!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Friday morning was MLC and now the fun starts as they're all getting training and approval for Facebook proselyting and smart phones. They will be getting approval for more apps as we go along. This will be interesting.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Saturday morning we went to the temple. It was the Military District's temple day and lots of youth came for baptisms. One of the priests in our branch was able to perform some of the baptisms with the change in policy.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We also had a wedding reception to attend. One of our single sisters in the branch who has come to Korea to teach English met a nice young Korean man and they were married in the Seoul Temple. They had a lovely reception at our meeting house. Her parents came from California for the celebration.</span></div>

We enjoyed visiting with our family via Skype over the Christmas break. Our grandson called home from the Peru MTC and that made his Mama happy! We told our little granddaughters that Santa had already been to Korea and was headed their way, so they better get to sleep fast. Our grandson told us that his new pants are too long. So I took a picture of how they wear jeans in Korea!</div>

The Ulvestad's and our branch mission leader were the speakers in Sacrament Meeting today. Brother Hutchison introduced the elders that are assigned to the branch. Even though they cannot attend meetings that are held on the south side of the river, they are assigned to work with the members. I got all teary - eyed as he told everyone about their talents. The bottom line is that you can feel good about introducing your friends to these elders. </div>

After staff meeting this week, we sisters went down town to the Lotte Hotel. They have a bazaar every year. All the embassies from other countries bring things like crafts or clothing and food to sell and part of the proceeds go to charities in Seoul. These beautiful Christmas trees were in the lobby.<br />

We also had two earthquakes this week. I thought we were out of the earthquake zone here, but apparently not. They were down south, but I felt both of them. I recognize that feeling!</div>

And to top off the week, we had a baptism Friday evening. Sweet Grace is from China, studying in Seoul. She does not speak much Korean, so she has been attending the English Branch. Unfortunately, the missionaries cannot attend that branch since the building is located in the Seoul South Mission, but the members have loved making Grace feel welcome. The baptism was held in our mission so the missionaries were happy to be there!<br />

Meanwhile, back in Tucson, it's El Tour de Tucson. The kiddos were out serving fruit and water to the bike riders just like their parents used to do when they were little. Looks like a beautiful day in Arizona!<br />

We also had some VIP visitors to our neighborhood. The Presidential Palace (Blue House) or Cheong wa dae is just up the street and around the corner. I took these photos from the laptop rather than trying to go over there. But it was fun to see the traditional guard welcome ceremony. We had lots of police out and about and American flags waving on the streets.</div>

Friday evening after the last zone conference, we had a dinner with the senior couples at the mission home. Two couples will be returning home in a few weeks and we have two couple that have just arrived recently. Sister Sonksen called it a "Hail and Farewell" party. We had a good time together. Apparently we all forgot to take a picture though!</div>

At church last week we met a young man and his father that were visiting in Seoul. They had lived here a few years ago and had come back for a vacation. Just before they left on their trip, the son had opened his mission call. He will be coming to the Korea Seoul Mission! He will arrive here in March. We told the Sonksens that we had someone who would like to meet them and they came to the office on Monday. They were surprised to be able to meet one of their missionaries before he went into the MTC.<br />

We had a wonderful day at church today. From the opening hymn "Israel Israel God is Calling". We had visitors from Russia that brought a special spirit to our meetings. Luckily, we have a young man who was able to translate for them. We had testimonies in Tagalog and Russian. It was sweet to our ears to hear the Russian testimonies and it was nice that we could still recognize a few words, but mostly it was nice to feel the Spirit. Then a sweet baptism of a filipino sister after the block. Then we had a "Break the Fast" luncheon afterwards. We have volunteered to be adopted into the filipino group! It is a special, unique branch of the church. </div>

This is a photo of some of our senior friends. We got together for dinner at our apartment September 30th. Elder & Sister Bowman had just arrived to start their mission (Military). We had taken them out earlier in the day to show them around Seoul. We about wore ourselves out since it was just at Chuseok time and there were crowds of shoppers everywhere! We also had Elder and Sister Nielsen and Sister Pence from the Temple, Elder & Sister Robinson (Public Relations), Elder and Sister Ulvestad (Military) and Elder & Sister Black from Seoul South Mission. We had a great time together.<br />
<br />
This week we welcomed another senior couple. Elder & Sister Whiting have arrived as our medical specialists. We're happy they're here. He's already taken several calls from ill missionaries!<br />
<br />
We have been trying to get out to visit one of the apartments in an outlaying area of the mission. We decided to have Elder Whiting do the driving (break 'em in early!) Elder & Sister Black have been wanting to visit the pottery factory we visited last year. Actually Elder Black did not want to, but he humored his wife.<br />

This is the wholesale shop for the dishes. No website for them, but we've tracked them down by word of mouth. The factory is in the back and they let us go watch the process for a while.<br />

We did actually help the sisters with all the repairs for their apartment too. We had to go explore the town to find a shop that sells curtains. We were happy that it ended up successful!<br />

They are actually putting up a building on that little tiny piece of land. They'll have to use a ladder because there's no room for a stair well! It's like a big giant set of Lincoln Logs.</div>
<br />
Friday we also had a branch camp out. We went for the dinner. We actually went to the wrong park on base and had to call to have someone come find us, but it was fun anyway.<br />
<br />
We had our Primary program at church today. The children did a great job. So sweet! They sang the first verse of "I Am a Child of God" in Korean!<br />
<br />
They're having Halloween parties back home. I have to share this one of our son in law and our grandson.<br />

We even have a special one for Utah from Ogden to Santaquin. We decided this one was too small. We'll get a bigger one for all our Utahans.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've also been working on some apartments. After our meeting Monday morning, we went with the office elders to move the Ilsan Sisters into their new place. Their old apartment was so very tiny. The new apartment is not especially "new" but it is much bigger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And since we needed a new tire on the van and we were in the neighborhood, we spent some time at Costco while the tire was being changed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday afternoon we went out to fix a light at the sister's apartment in Girum. It was a pretty quick fix. Someone at church asked if we had been in Girum this week. She spotted us at the subway station.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then on Wednesday we took possession of another apartment. This is for our new medical couple that will arrive this Tuesday. We've been gathering up more stuff to stock this new apartment.</div>

When we got back to Seoul, we got on the bus back to our apartment and apparently some kind of protest was happening. It took about an hour to go two miles! Most had Korean and American flags going down the middle of the road. We could have walked it faster.</div>

I met a new sister at church today. She has recently moved to Seoul to work at the US Embassy. One of her previous assignments was in Kazakhstan! She moved to Astana after we had left. We've heard through the grapevine that President Russell M Nelson was going to be in Astana today. Can't wait to hear about that!</div>

This week has been a big holiday for Koreans. Chuseok is a mid-autumn festival on the day of the full moon. Like our Thanksgiving. Families all gather together to celebrate. Lots of people are out of town. Our cute little neighbor brought some treats up for us. Since it is hard for missionaries to have teaching appointments during the holidays, the Sonksens planned mission conferences on two different days. We held it at the new chapel so everyone got to see how beautiful it is and what the future of the church is going to be here.</div>

We spent a day with the office elders and the Dongducheon sisters getting a new apartment ready for the new couple arriving next week. They will work at the military base and take over when the (other) Andersons go home in December. The elders brought this refrigerator over from the old apartment. I cleaned it, then they came back and took it back. It turns out that it belongs to the old apartment's landlord. Well, at least we returned it clean!</div>

We went to the Seoul Stake Conference Sunday morning. Elder Yamashita of the 70 was here to dedicate the new chapel. He mentioned the faithful saints that have been the pioneers in Korea. He also told about visiting a sister recently who had lost her son and her husband to suicide. He was concerned about visiting her, thinking that she would be very depressed. But she had a happy countenance and told him that she knows that Heavenly Father loves her and she is at peace.</div>

We were happy to welcome 16 new missionaries on Tuesday! And three of them are from Arizona! We were waiting for their dinners to be delivered to the mission home and when our elders called to check on it, they discovered that it was ordered for the wrong day. (Oops!) But the restaurant was able to bring dinner anyway, just a few minutes late.</div>

We also spent some time looking for some apartments this week. We have three senior couples in line to arrive in the next few months.

On Saturday we were able to go to our District Temple day. We had two full English sessions and lots of other work too.

After our staff meeting on Monday, we met some of the other Senior Couples for lunch and showed the new couples around Itaewon. This is near the military base and has several American and many other ethnic restaurants and shops. There is a shop there that sells Korean style nativity sets. How did I not take any photos? Anyway, we had fun.<br />

Our new Area President and one of the counselors. Elder Gay and Elder Choi. It was nice to get to meet them. Elder Gay is from Ohio and knows Sister Sonksen's family.

On the fourth Friday each month, the SESA (Seoul English Study Association) invites someone to speak to their group. This time Elder Robinson spoke about his experiences in international businesses. He worked for some shipping companies and for The Gap. They have lived in Korea and in London besides California. He spoke about the economies of countries and population trends and what it may be like in the future with more automation in manufacturing. </div>

Today in church we had the Seoul Temple President Min and Elder and Sister Nielsen as speakers. President Min told about one of the early Korean saints. He had been a Protestant Elder and when he joined the church, he had to give up his post. It was a difficult time. He had a chance to meet President Kimball. He told President Kimball about the many family names going back many generations and how he wanted a temple in Korea so they could do all of their work.</div>

We had our District (Stake) Conference today. Part of it was a broadcast to all the stakes in Korea. Elder Bednar was one of the speakers and our new Area President, Elder Gay. They spoke about being obedient so we can have the light of the gospel to dispel the darkness of the world. We were counseled to have faith and to not be overly concerned with the troubles around us in the world.</div>
