HELLO FROM KOREA FAM-DEC 18, 2016

So I'm in Korea. haha. It's monday at noon right now so that's freakin crazy. But yeah so I don't understand a lot what's going on but I try super hard so I know it'll come eventually. My korean has already gotten better. So my comp is Elder Polley and he's super cool! He's way knowledgable of the scriptures and stuff so it's cool to learn from him. I'm so stoked to be here though it's so crazy and awesome. There are so many foreigners here so it's pretty easy to preach in english but I'm trying my best to use Korean haha. So there a lot of drunk people here. A LOT of drunk people. especially on saturdays. We were procelying and this dude has a beer in his hand and stops and we asked him what makes him happy and he was like I don't know that's why I drink. Then we were like well what do you think about church and he was like "I don't really like church because my parents made me go so I hate church I HATE CHURCH I HATE CHURCH" and yeah he was like screaming he was crazy gone. His sober buddy got him under control thought and then they left. So yeah Korea. But I'm super excited to serve here. The people are sooooooo nice. This old guy at church met me and held my hand cause of that Jong thing and it was so cool haha. So yeah we have some crazy investigators

John - thinks he's smarter than God and he has a better way.

Moses - Homeless guy that lives in a Korean bath house and has a crazy life story.

Johnny and Angel - Both Chinese. about 16 17 years old. both super awesome

Yeah that's it for progressing investigators. But they are all way awesome. I'm so stoked to be here. THE FOOD IS SO AMAZING. Even kimchi i love. so much awesome stuff. I love these peeps.

LAST WEEK BOIIIIIII!

I'm so stoked to be in Korea!!!! We watched a talk yesterday that gordon b hinckley gave in Korea and he loved those people so much. I can't wait to love them too and just show them kindness and service and everything! it's gonna be awesome! I just wanted to say that I am so grateful for all of you. You are all so awesome! I have learned a lot lately that God's will will always be done. I gave a blessing to a sister in our district, Sister Ah-Fua, because she had some serious health issues that made it so it wasn't possible to go to Korea. So her companion came into they class crying and said "can you give my companion a blessing?" and she told us what was going on and then I asked Sister Ah-Fua if she wanted a blessing of comfort and counsel or a blessing for her health and she said for comfort and counsel and I asked who she wanted to say it and she said me so I said a little prayer before to have the spirit guide me in what to say. So I started the blessing and words just started coming to my mouth. I didn't even know what I was saying, but I had such a strong feeling of God's love for His children and His plan for them. He want's all of them to be happy. I mentioned that the Lord's will will always be done and that He would place her where He wanted her to be. Then, this week she was told that she could come with us to Korea!!! It was amazing. I know the power of the spirit through that experience. It truly is amazing to have that constantly with you. I will ALWAYS strive to have that with me wherever I am in my life. As the wise words of John Taylor "God's Kingdom or nothing!". I love you all and you are constantly in my prayers and thoughts. <3

DA FAM--NOV. 30, 2016

What up guyzzzzz. Only a week and a half left and I'm so stoked. So Thanksgiving. The dinner was pretty good (not as good 

as yours mom) but ok. haha. And we did a service project and we made 309,000 meals for the hungry. It was so cool! And then we went and saw Neil L. Anderson speak and it was the best thing ever. It also dumped snow like crazy here and it's so fun!!!! I'm so stoked to be in snow. haha. But mom I don't really know what to do about the snow boots thing. I bet you I could snag some in Korea somewhere, but I'm not sure. I'll see what the other elders are doing. But yeah nothing much has gone on this week it's just the same MTC week. haha. Oh yeah we got to watch Ephraim's Rescue and that was really good. and the second meet the mormons and that was awesome too! But yeah me and elder lam are doin good. I'm stoked to be in the field though!!! So I just want to say as with every email that I know Christ lives, and that God knows our needs and wants and is actively in our life and guiding our steps without us knowing it. I'm so grateful for that knowledge and for a Shepherd that comes to His one lost sheep out of the ninety and nine that are safe. I'm grateful to have come back to my Heavenly Father and to stay with Him for the rest of my life on this earth. I love all of you!!!

Love - Elder Boren
