Letter from September 3, 2009

Dear family,

It has been a great week here in the Korea Seoul West Mission. The training we got at zone conference about planning and accountability really blessed my missionary work this past week. President Burton said you would pay thousands of dollars to get the kind of training about planning we got.. and everything we learned about managing time and setting goals come right out of Preach My Gospel chapter 8. Anyeay, we are going to try to set a baptismal date with Yun Hyun Gun tonight! Pray that all goes well. He is so ready to be baptized, he just needs something to push him to make the commitment.

I got to go on exchanges this last week with one of the assistants, Elder White, in Song Pa. Right now there is a big emphasis in our mission to find through a variety of ways. Elder White and I spent time with little door flyers with double stick tape, sticking them up all over buildings and subway station entrances and stuff like that. At night time we did what we call "Lemonade Jundo" or Lemonade proselyting. We just stood on a street corner with lemonade on a table and some posters about the church and talked to as many people as we could. A couple of the ward members even came out to help. It was really neat to see Korean church members out on the street talking with other Koreans about the gospel all by themselves. The majority of the Koreans thought the lemonade was nasty, but we still enjoyed it :)

The weather is perfect at night and in the morning now. It is still a little warm during the day, but the signs of fall are definitely showing. Well i love you all. Have a wonderful week.

Love, Elder Brian Woodbury
