All my best from Seoul! It's really not all that cold out here- it seems that there is a massive cold front across the United States, but I haven't even had to wear my big winter coat yet. That being said, a dip is undoubtedly in our future. I do hope things warm up over there, though! I have only a few minutes today, but it has been quite a week. Each day brings new challenges, new blessings, new experiences, and the ever-increasing assurance that God is watching over and blessing His children.
Sang Jo is still struggling to see why church attendance in our proposed paradigm is important, but we will continue to emphasize the importance of the sacrament and the blessings that we receive from church attendance as we meet with him. He broke down in tears this past week as he prayed, and said to us, "I feel stronger this week, as we meet, very strongly." Nonetheless, he is still not committed to joining us at church.
Yejin, one of the branch missionaries in Imun, has just put in her papers to serve a mission. She has taught a couple of times with us, and will serve very well, bust most exciting is that her mother showed up to church yesterday as well, who we have met with a few times as well. She has such strong faith, but has had some really tough times, and has quite an amazing story. She enjoyed the meetings, and we really hope that she will continue to come out. It is absolutely incredible to see what miracles and healing faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement can bring to all.

This past week we had an incredible experience with Nahder, from Iran. He speaks little English and very little Korean, but is just amazing. Due to time it seems I will just speak concerning him next week, but there are miracles that happen today, and there are beautiful blessings available through Christ's life and His sacrifice.
I have been thinking a lot concerning guidance this week, and I do know that we have a perfect example to whom we can look for love and help:
Jesus, Savior, pilot me, over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll, hiding rock and treach'rous shoal
Chart and compass came from Thee: Jesus, Savior, pilot me
As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boist'rous waves obey Thy will, when Thou sayst to them, "Be still!"
Wondrous sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me
When at last I near the shore, and the fearful breakers roar
'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, then, while leaning on Thy breast,
May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not: I will pilot thee."
All my love from Seoul!
Elder South
