Korey's Mission

I got email from Korey this morning. It's been a while since we heard from him, so I was over joyed to hear about what's going on with him and his mission. We also got some pictures too. ^-^ Surprisingly, I started crying. I'm so happy that he's enjoying himself. I'm going to post the email that I got from him so everyone can read about it. Oh! I'll also post the pictures. One of them made me burst up of laughter.

By the way, I still have some great news! I'll post it on Friday night, ok. Talk to you later. ^-^

"Things are going really well.  I am still in the same place but it sounds like I will be moving here on the 13 of April when we have transfers, because I have been here for about six months.  It is not normal for a missionary to have served in so few areas like I have, or at least in our mission.  Some missionaries will end up having up to ten twelve different areas that they have served in.  Lately we have had the priviledge to see two people get baptized in the past two weeks.  One of them is from West Virginia, she is a really nice lady who we have been working with for about five months now.  She is 69 years old I have sent you a picture of us at her baptism with two other missionaries that help to teach her as well.  The other girl that we baptized was 14 years old her name is Anahita (Anna) she was born in Canada but her parents are from Iran and are athiest.  Anna had a really good friend who asked if she wanted to come to seminary and church with her and that is how she found the church.  We actually are getting ready to see another person get baptized that we have been teaching fairly recently.  Her name is Niknaz I don't have a picture of these other two ladies but I will soon.  Niknaz is actually from Iran and she has only been in the States for about six months.  She didn't know any english when she first came.  She is super cool and loves the church.  Her family is muslim which normally is a big problem because in Iran it is not against the law to kill someone in the name of religion so it took a little work to make sure we could teach her but once we started she just started to do things on her own, for example she stopped smoking, and drinking tea cold turky which is pretty amazing because just about everyone else that I have worked with have had a hard time with that.   There is still a lot more going on but I unfortunatly don't have enough time to write all of it.  Love you."

Look at Korey's face!!! It will make you laugh so hard.

I don't know what this picture but it's pretty cool.

This was the elder lady that Korey was able to baptism.
