i can't believe you went to elder hirsches homecoming, i am jealous, i bet he did way good. i love that kid, he's a champ. and you met elder blatter haha, he makes me laugh, he reminds me of a seminary teacher, which is ok cause thats what he wants to be. and you met ashley, you guys just had a party and didn't invite me, thats rude haha.

well i can't remember if i told you but we had a surprise baptism last week the parents of those kids called us on tuesday last week and said they wanted to get baptized so they were on sunday night. it was way sweet, when i was taking pictures with the family the dad gave me a hug and said thanks in the most sincere way i've ever heard, and at the end of the baptismal service they asked the dad to share some words and he started crying it was amazing.

things here are good, being senior is definately a change, but i like it, one of the ward members asked me the other day if i was senior companion and i said yes, and then his wife said "finally" it was sweet, especially since she meant it because koreans don't really understand sarcasm. my new companion is good, he is from washington, there are 12 kids in his family, his favorite type of music is oldies like from the 1920's and he has constructed his own suit of armor. he's a good guy i can't believe school is almost out thats crazy, i have been gone for an entire school year already, and i'm less than a month away from my year mark thats nuts. things here are good, crazy, being senior companion is quite taxing. but i'm doing my best and my korean is getting better. we are trying to find some good people to teach now, so we walk alot.well talk to you next week
love court
