With a recent convert at our Christmas program. I refused to wear the make-up.

I brought my robe? I'd forgotten!
Hello,
This last week has been pretty slow. It is Chinese New Year, one of the
biggest holidays here. During this time all the people have big family
reunions, usually in Seoul, and they eat for three days straight. Visiting
people and proselyting don't really work well so we cleaned the house thoroughly
for a whole day and into the next. Thankfully today most people have returned
and are back to work. We will need to get back in touch with the people we are
working with this week so hopefully we can be fairly busy.
Have I talked to you about Edward yet? He is a Chinese man working here in
Korea for a few years. We haven't been able to meet him much because he has
been back in China with his family and then he had to scramble to meet a
deadline at work. We met him a couple weeks ago but now he's back in China and
he won't get back for a few weeks. However out of all our current investigators
he has been the most prepared. He has a Chinese and an English copy of the Book
of Mormon that he reads side-by-side to help him understand. He really wants to
believe in God and the Plan of Salvation. He loves the idea of eternal
families. Because of his culture he has a really hard time understanding some
things and he's not sure that he can ever really believe in God. He's trying
though. That's more than most people. He hates the ward here (he knows
zero Korean) and is worried about making commitments that would be difficult to
keep when he returns to China. He is in my prayers every night.
This morning I made a cake in a bowl in the toaster oven. It mostly
worked. It sort of looks like a volcano because the bowl wasn't quite wide
enough for that much batter and the outside cooked faster.
I'm still waiting for the computer that can send pictures but I will
definitely do that soon. I might write some more but this is all I can think of
for now.
Love you,
Elder Stapley
