Hello mom! and everyone else!


Ha that's sweet that elder Beasely's dad called you! They took us out to eat and stuff! It was way fun but it was awkward for me to talk to people that were American I didn't know what to say.. It was so weird!!! That was right after I got here though so it's better now I think ha! I want you guys to come pick me up, I'm not sure how it works I'm sure I'll find out around next September or October and we will start planning it! I'm glad you decided to write me letters with pictures every week! That will be nice! Ha it's about time Zack started playing! What is Dixie's record so far this year?? What about sc??? Ha maybe one day Zack will be almost as good as me! Probably not though.. I could run so fast right now! I've lost some weight I'm getting pretty skinny! I got my soccer jersey! It's awesome! I'll attach a picture of it! I took a bunch of pictures for you!

That's sweet that Voran got his call! Germany will be sweet! But hard to baptize! So is Korea though! But the Lord still prepares people everywhere!! That's for sure! When will boots get his call?? I’ll have been out for like 9 months by the time he leaves! Crazy!!!
So anyways, right now we’re teaching 3 people that are serious about joining the church! One of them tells us to call him Michael Choi! His real name is 최 하 섭! He is awesome! He took us out to eat the other night and bought us both gifts! He bought me a stamp box (everyone gets stamps with their name on it to use at banks and stuff) he has committed to be baptized but, he doesn't want to until December! So right now we are teaching him the importance of baptism! Hopefully he will change his mind! One time he brought a friend with him and he introduced me like this " this is Elder Frei, he is my teacher for MY church" he already considers himself a member of our church! It's awesome!!! He is way nice!! I love him!! Everyone is going to be gone this week because of the holiday so we just have to do different stuff this week, yes mom I will have time to write you a detailed letter this week!!! I will try to find somewhere to print off some pictures! It's hard to navigate in Korea though! Especially when your not fluent in Korean!! Sorry I ended up emailing today, we thought it was Wednesday but then they told us to do it today!!! on Wednesday we have a huge soccer tournament! I'm pumped!! Ha we bought wax so we could do our hair like were European!! I'll send you a picture with my whole zone in them next week!

Well that's about all!!! I love you all!!! Be gratefull to have to gospel in your life everyday! And to live in a place that is not corrupt and wicked!!! I hope everyone has a good week!!!

사랑해요,

프라이 장로



love,

Elder Frei



Korea Is Awesome !

Family!

It was awesome to talk to you all today! I made it here safely, it was a long flight but were all here!!! I don't have very much time so I’ll email you on Monday! I love you all! Korea is awesome! I've been awake for almost 30 straight hours so hopefully I don't have jet lag to bad!!! I love you all!

Only one more P*day

Hello everyone!! This past week has been pretty much average except for a couple of things! Hosting was pretty awesome!!! We get to do it again tomorrow also, it was kinda sad though because it reminded me of when I left! But it was a good experience! I didn't host anyone I knew but I ran in to a bunch of people! one night after dinner I ran into Justin Ence!!! His visa got delayed so he came here!! I got a pic with him so I'll have to send it home!!! also, I got a picture with Haden Hawks cause he leaves this week!! oh and Jake Cannon  lives on the same floor as me! I see him all the time!! I'm excited to get that phone so I can talk to you! it's going to be so awesome!! I thought of  a few more things I could use.. in my bathroom in like the 2nd draw on the left side there should be some cartridge cleaner refills for my shaver cleaner, if you can't find them it's fine. one other thing that would be sweet is some pictures of my pots that I made! Just to I can show people! Chase has taken ceramics in college and high school and is very good! Koreans are very good a ceramics also. I've been working really hard, I'm so excited to get out of here! I only have 1 p day left here after today! wow I'm so excited haha! how was the past week back at home? i can't believe that Mitch gets married this weekend and that it is almost Hayleys birthday!! Her letter got sent back to me so I have 3 for her now! I'm sending them to the house so just give them to her! I'm excited to get some kimchi though! I've had it a few times while I've been here and it seems to get better and better every time! oh I forgot to tell you! I saw this kid that went to dixie that just graduated, he does service with me twice a week! I can't remember his name, Zack would know it he played basketball he's going to South America somewhere! It's good to get to see people that you know! it makes it seem more like home! ha but my district and my zone definately seems like my family and my brothers! I love them. we've all grown so close to each other over the past 2 months/ 9 weeks! I've learned so much from them, it's crazy though because it feels like I've always know some of them!!! and i know were going to be friends when we get back! when i pray and throughout the day I can feel every ones prays for me because I always feel comforted and so spiritually strengthened in such a short time! I've realized that I've already changed quite a bit! it's crazy! Ha and I forgot to tell Mitch when I wrote him back but  I’ve definitely lost some muscle! not a ton though! that's about all for this week! i love you all! have everyone write me!   DAD, thanks for the letter! i can't believe it flooded a little that's crazy! When is the Henries hunt? I can't wait to see what you get! that will be awesome! i can't believe that it's already time for that hunt! You'll have to tell the Ences that i ran into Justin a few times! he left for brazil today! but it was pretty sweet! I love you!  

Love, Elder Frei

Do you think that these two will stand out in Korea?

Lots of MTC pictures!!

Elder Frei is doing awesome!! check out some of his happenings at the MTC :D

Another update

Mom, I tried to get on right at 12. I was in my p-day clothes so I could only go to the laundry room to email. (everywhere else you have to be in missionary attire) almost all of the computers are down in the entire mtc!!!!! I was so mad!! but I'll get on at 12 next week for sure!!! how was your week?? what's going on back at home?? my week was awesome!! it was by far the best week so far in the mtc!!! Sunday i gave a talk in Korean in sacrament meeting!! the branch presidents wife (who is Korean) told me that she understood every word that i said to her!! it was awesome cause i thought i was butchering most of what i was saying!! This week was a very good week. i realized why i would come to miss the mtc! it's because here you have a lot of people that you become so close to, in the field it's just you and your companion!! but that's ok!! Me and Elder Babcock decided that were going to room together when we get back from Korea!! he's awesome! I'm not sure if I told you about him yet! that's about all that happened this week really.. except on Saturday we taught the first lesson in Korean!!! it went pretty good!!  Love, Elder Frei

Elder Frei's second week in the MTC

family! what a great week this has been! thank you for the packages and letters and pens! it is so nice to have tons of support!!! if your sending me a package i could use another pair of my jordan shorts.. any of them work and some pictures would be sweet.. just like of the bear hunt and anything else!!!

this week i learned so much! i restarted the book of mormon when i got here and i'm halfway through mosiah. i can't put it down! Kyler and trevor leave today! i was sad to see them go but it's sweet at the same time! i would see kyler everynight though! this week i learned how to say this is korean "we have a message about jesus christs gospel, god is our heavenly father, the gospel has been restored, a prophet exsits, and jesus christ lives. i can also introduce myself and ask simple questions like "how does your family become? or name or hometown or things like that! it sounds weird to translate to english! we get so many opportuities to teach here, i'm getting really good at the lessons! that's awesome that Dan Frei got called as the stake pres! sweet! ha and that made me laugh what haden said about me being gone!! the temple closes next week so today was our last time going for over a month! it's ok though!

Elder Bodily is from boise idaho, i've gotten to know him very well. the other two Elders in my room are Elder Flake and Elder Mccoristin. they are both serving in california korean speaking!! elder flake is from horse shoe bend idaho and elder mccoristin is from eagle mountain utah! i love them!

I've gotten to know Elder Stephenson way good, he went to pv and played against me.. he was the kicker! he's so good!! and his companion is Elder Bishoff from richfield!!! i love him too! he's way nice and he gave me a huge ring of notecards with vocabulalry words on it that is so good!!

i don't know how but i've lost like 5 pounds since i've been here! it's pretty weird cause i don't eat very good!! the bookstore here is way awesome and missionaries get 40 percent off so i can get alot of stuff i need there! i hope you all have a great week!! i can't wait to hear from everyone! i love you all!! and i'm so greatfull for this opportunity! thank you Mom and Dad! i love you both so much!

Love,

Elder Frei
