Birthday number 39
















March 14 was a very fun, enjoyable and busy day!! Thanks to everyone who Remembered!!!! And we still Love all of you who Forgot!! The years are going by at 62 miles per hour now. Just a few pictures to tell the story. Optometrist - new glasses-Trifocals this time!!! Brian and Luz are always teaching and being such good examples for us, they ordered in a Chinese Dinner and I am so glad they couldn't find all of the candles for the Birthday Cake!! They are so much fun.
Brother Elvis Meti was the best gift-He was Baptized that evening and right after- the Branch Members and Missionaries went out to Dinner and celebrated his Baptism. It was a remarkable day-I miss all of the family back home but We also make home where ever We Are!! Thanks again everyone for making this such a Great Year!! Thanks Sister Rix for the Red Velvet Birthday Cake!!

Daegu Aboretum
















The Daegu Aboretum is always different-Every Monday we were going to try to get up there to see the desert plants blossom-they have over 200 species in this huge Green house!! There are always lots of families and children-who are so cute!! The Garden staff was busy at work planting Pansies and We visited with three ladies Who were Baptist Minister Wives!! We love being Missionaries because we have a special reason to talk to everyone!!

Korean Friends








March is over!! I am so far behind-you would think that I have partied all month!! well it is my Birthday Month-We are going down this road at 62 miles per hour now!!! We visited Grace Kang at her office one day-She is one of our Bible Students-Ann Young is her office helper. We stayed there for just a short time because all of her patients were surprised to see Americans there! Dr. Kang speaks very good English she wants to come to America!

Temple Day/ March-Jenson's







We are having too much fun-serving here in Korea-No you can never have too much fun in helping and Serving other's!! The time seems to fly by and I think its because we are stretched pretty thin and have so many things to do. We really love to help others in any way we can, and likewise- we appreciate how others help us . This time to Seoul -Elder and Sister Jenson was very gracious in having us stay one night at their house-they have a beautiful apartment and she is a very good cook!!

Missionary Luncheon -Wednesday 4 March







It is always good to spend time with so many Missionaries-The other Seniors are Elder and Sister Anderson and President Jennings and Sister Jennings. The food was very good and We especially liked the icey cinnamon drink there!!

District Conference in Seoul






It is so fun to see so many members of our faith in a Foreign land-Here in Korea we have 8 branches that cover the whole country. Every 6 months we have everyone together at a District Conference with the District Presidency Presiding. We have lots of speakers and lots of singing.
It is always a treat to see Lixter-he lived in Daegu so we got to know him very well-he now lives in Seoul. We had a total of 29 members from the Daegu area attend.
Tommy and Michael Gallegos were sustained to receive the Melchezedek Priesthood and were ordained Elder's after Sunday's meeting. They both are preparing themselves to go on a misssion!!
