Hello! Happy Mother's day and end of the school year! Crazy. This time last year I was taking a long-needed breath after the marathon that college can be sometimes (said the freshman). Although unfortunately it has been a relatively slower week for work, we have enjoyed every minute of it and learned some very important things with regards to preparation, teaching skills, and more. As yesterday we walked soaked in the rain and got some doors slammed shut in front of us, we felt a great love for this people, and for our Savior. Those experiences are always precious- missionary work is what the Lord needs it to be, but those are the kinds of things you imagine before you come out.
I am very much looking forward to the mission focus for this month, discipleship. My favorite scripture is Moroni's invitation to all to come unto Christ, and as we personally seek to grow closer to Him, we feel that great love, that assurance that there is so much more than us, and we grow in our ability to share that with others. Elder James Talmage, whose "Jesus the Christ" I was reading this morning, talked about faith so resolute as to render us always willing to obey with a humble heart regardless of whatever opposition or obstacle arises, the kind of faith that we want to develop.
The district is getting along well, working hard, and seeing results. I want to minister more, we all do, to do all we can to build up others. I want to show love more, to minister in love, to follow the Savior's example in this regard better. Although I strive, there is always so much more to do. We all will try this month and beyond to turn out more in love and turn in less. We want to have a celestial house, celestial district, and to continue to work hard and gratefully serve as the Lord provides. To become, I suppose, the Lord's disciples. We will all try to learn from and emulate the attributes of the apostles of Jesus Christ, and He Himself, who said to all, "come and see."
Zack has been diligently fulfilling all of his responsibilities, and will be receiving the Aaronic Priesthood next week. He is incredibly powerful spiritually, and we are excited to continue meeting with him.
Sister Sin- that looks bad in English- pronounced "sheen-" texted this week, as she was in Seoul after having moved to Daejeon a bit back. We went with another branch member for lunch, and that was good to catch up. Their family is doing well. Her daughter, Yejin, who enters the MTC next month, we also ran into randomly last month on the way to district meeting, she being in Seoul for one day, and that was fun as well. Crazy to run into people in a city so massive.
We had a branch activity on Saturday that was a big success, with fun games, lessons, and food. Several investigators really enjoyed it, and it was a great experience. Brother Gichan showed up after church suddenly, and he agreed to be baptized in early July, due to crazy school stuff until then. We will try to help him see that as we put God first, He will succor and support us.
We are happy and loving life. All my prayers and my love, and all the best. Congratulations to Caleb and Daniel on some pretty incredible accomplishments academically, to dad on tenure(!), and to mom on writing, teaching, and being 최고. Love! 
Elder South
