Week 99

President Taylor got the revelation correct with Elder Jeong! I am a trainer now!!! Round 2~! I actually couldn't go to sleep well the night before, so every time I woke up, I prayed that President would be in tune with the Spirit well enough to put me with the right missionary. I knew he got it right as we were walking home from the office.  I love Him! He always is smiling and he is very laid back. He is willing to get the work done!! And, it is fun to have my 2nd Korean companion.

Elder Jeong said that the reason he came out on the mission is because he wanted to find out for himself that the church is true. His parents and all his older siblings went on missions and so he wanted to find out for himself. He has had 2 great spiritual experiences in the MTC that he share with me, so he recognizes that answer to a prayer, is eager to have more testimony building experiences, and help others do the same. He said that he is reading the Book of Mormon for the first time and so I am looking forward to having good gospel discussions during Comp. Study. He has also said that he enjoys Gospel discussions with people who are learning with us, because I teach things in a way that he has never heard it before and that he gets new insights. I don't think I teach anything too special, but I love that I get to be there for him as he starts his journey!!!

I believe that Elder Ostler is now able to apply what he has learned with me because he takes the lead a lot in what is going on in that team. Elder Bek still sleeps a lot but it is better than before. They are happy together. They haven't been separated house wise since the beginning of his mission and are thrilled to finally be companions. We still all live together.

As always I love being a missionary. Elder Jeong has helped us already find people on the streets. We had a first lesson with another person, who asked us in the middle of the Sacrament, "How do I become a member of this church" We told him that it is through baptism and receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost like he had seen Brother Hong receive that day. And, so he started lessons with us!!!!!!!
I love having gospel discussions because I like learning from other people and sharing insights.
Miracles never cease in 일산!!!!! To many miracles to write.

Love,
Elder Alger
