Hello family! How is everyone?
So where to begin.. This past week a lot has happened! Since mom loves details I'll start from transfer day! So when we transfer we all meet in a subway station and then you meet your new companion and go to your new area! But before that you use a service that ships all of your clothes and belongings to your new house for really cheap.. however, the huge suitcase mom sent me with was to big so I had to pull it along with me through the subway! (not very fun) anyways.. my new companion is Elder Hoffman! He was born in Japan, but then moved to North Carolina. He's awesome! Even more awesome is my new area!! I love it here! It's on the other side of the river and kind of on the outskirts of the city!! It was a Seoul west mission area! In the bottom of the area is the #1 college in all of Korea!! It's way sweet! The work is going really, really good here!!! We have tons of investigators and some of them are super close to being baptized! We found tons of new people just in the week I have been here too! It's awesome I seriously love it here so much! There are about 80 people in this ward so it is way bigger than my last one! I gave my introduction talk in sacrament yesterday! It went way good! I was a little nervous cause I didn't really prepare anything but I ended up talking for a little over 5 minutes! I sat down and was like did I really just do all of that in Korean? Ha it was pretty sweet! Mom, I've taken almost 600 pictures on my mission already so I'm pretty sure you won’t miss out on to much! I haven't taken very many since I got to this area though! I will get some soon though!! I can't believe that Bre and Blake will have a kid in a few months! When is it Hayley's turn??
Sweet I'm way glad you sent me another sd card! Oh when you send that Christmas package just stuff it full of American candy! I realized I miss like all of that stuff ha Elder Hoffman got a package from his mom with candy so I got to eat some!
Mom, I started memorizing a song on the piano! It's a way cool song! When I finish it I'll send it to you or something!! Well, were meeting up with some other Elders and going to a public bath house! Ha have I told you about those yet? I love you all!!! My pday is next Tuesday cause we go to the temple so just so you know! My new area is Bong Chon.
Love,
Elder Frei

What's up with the elk?? Why did we shoot an elk from the ranch? I'm confused! I didn't even know about it! And for that package I don't really know what I miss! I miss so much stuff that I don't even realize it until I think about it! Some reeses puffs would be way sweet! A real football, some of those chunky soup things with beef in them, a cake mix and icing, I'll keep thinking! Pretty much anything American I miss haha.. I definately don't keep up on politics at all but that's way cool! I learned the Korean word for politics a few days ago haha it's 정 치 I remember weird words sometimes! Ha one of my investigators that we just met with for the first time taught me a sweet Korean saying, it's kind of like no pain no gain!! It's sweet! He taught me the Chinese characters for it to but those are way hard to draw! I might be getting transferred to a new area because this transfer is over! Crazy!! I find out tonight so I'll let you know when I find out! I'm going to back up all my pictures today! Oh another thing you could send me is a memory card with more space if you can find a cheap one on Black Friday! Like 8g or more then I can store all my pics on that card and send my other one home! I can't believe Tuscano is home! Ha tell him he can take 2 of my shirts because he gave me two of his when he left! I'm excited to hear that elk story it sounds pretty sweet! Who shot it? and why? Yesterday we had no appointments so we found all day and we ended up walking all the way around our area! We figured out it was over 15 miles!!! We were tired after haha it was cool though! Plus it was fast Sunday so it was pretty epic! Ha were going bowling today for Pday and I need to buy a few more things for the package then I'm going to send it Tuesday I think! Well that's all I have for this week!
I love you all!!
Love,
Elder Frei
I love you all!!

Pictures from Korea
Hey mom!
Sorry to disappoint you on Monday and just a few days after your birthday!!!! How was your birthday?? I forgot to tell you my pday was on Tuesday this week!!! So sorry! And happy birthday last week!
I bought a translator about a month ago, I think! I love it so much! It's a must have I carry it with me everywhere I go! That would be way sweet if you had interns live at our house for a while if you do it! That's sweet I could communicate with them in Korean! haha
My week was ok! We worked really hard but we didnt see the success we hoped for! That's ok though!! Missionary work is hard! So this week we have been doing different stuff and we have two new investigators! They are pretty sweet and way nice to us! Oh have you tried to contact Elder Christensen yet?? You need to get him down to the house!! hmm this is probably my last week in my greenie area and then I'll be transfered out next wednesday! I'm kinda sad and kinda excited because it's just another step!!! By the time I leave my next area I'll have been a missionary for a long time! haha but I hope my next comp is as sweet as my first two!!I've gotten super lucky! I think getting a native would be sweet especially becuase I could learn so much Korean from them now! The halloween party was way fun haha everyone told me I would be a pretty girl! It was so funny!! ha what was Haden for Halloween? Oh I'm almost done with that package now! I'll probably be shipping it next week sometime!!! I saw the deer pictures they looked pretty sweet!! That's awesome! We have zone conference tomorrow so that should be way fun! ha mom I talked to Elder Jorgensen a lot today cause we all went to lunch after the temple! It's crazy he only has 5 weeks left now.. remember when we saw his mom and he had barely been out for a year????? what the?? where did that time go? I couldn't believe him when he told me he was going home that soon. Also one of my new missionary friends is elder Hier! He has like 7 months left so he will actually be here for a while!! haha has anyone else got their calls yet or anything??? I heard the cowboys are doing terrible this year! that's to bad.. well were going to that museum so I gotta hurry!!! I love you! Hhope everyone has a good week!!

CAMPING KOREAN STYLE
Mom!
This past week was way fun!!! Oh I got the package last Tuesday!!! That was by far the fastest anything has ever gotten here!!! It only took like 12 days or something like that!!! I was so pumped! It was perfect I took all that stuff on the "campout" and didn't have to buy anything! Except for these sweet Korean pants that were ten bucks that are so warm ha they're so cool! But everything was perfect in the package and I already made French toast and peaches and cream! It was way good!!! I usually make a shake every morning so its way nice to be able to mix it up a little bit!! Oh I have a favor! Ha I couldn't remember the English word for favor for a second there! Cause in Korean it's like a request ?? Ha that was funny I stared at the screen for a while trying to figure out what it was called! Anyways I want a picture of all of our guns! Koreans think it's crazy cause they don't have any cause it's against the law! Oh and could you also send some of the four wheelers and the other toys and stuff?? So this weekend we went on what we thought was camping haha it's a little bit different in Korea though! We thought we were going out to the woods and like really go camping and we were super pumped for it! That's not what happened but it was still way fun! Ha so we left Friday night and drove for like 3 hours to where we were sleeping, it turned out to be a bunch of apartment things! ha we were so shocked!!! but the bathroom in it was like 5 times the size of ours and I was way shocked then I thought about it and realized it was still a way small bathroom compared to any of ours!! haha so we woke up the next morning and drove to this ranch! We went to the top of this sweet mountain and we could see the east sea(Sea of Japan )or whatever it is called! I got some sweet pictures I'll try to send them! It was way fun then we hiked down the mountain and drove back that took a long time to get back once we hit the city cause traffic was horrible! I can't believe it's the last week of October already! what the? months zoom by! 2 more and I'll be calling home! crazy!!!!!! hmm we have a Halloween party this weekend! ha it should be pretty cool! I'm dressing up as a girl! I'll send you a picture maybe :) I hope everything is going good at home and I hope someone could actually hit something on the deer hunt besides dad ( I've seen you all shoot) I love you all!
Love, Elder Frei
QUESTIONS THAT I HAD ASKED CHASE AND HIS ANSWERS
TELL ME ABOUT WHO YOU ARE TEACHING? We found two new investigators, we have two that could get baptized anytime they just don't think they are ready yet! It's hard.. It takes a lot of faith!! Ha what else do you want to know?
HOW IS THE LANGUAGE COMING? It's hard but I've learned a lot! Everyone here thinks I'm great at Korean. I'm pretty close with the people that started their missions in January.. but they can understand more than me! I'm trying to be humble though so forget I said that first part.
WHO DID YOU GO CAMPING WITH? We went camping with our whole stake.
WHAT ARE YOU AND YOUR COMPANION DOING ON YOUR P*DAY? We have to go clean a church right now then after we might go bowling if we have time left.. P-day is short ahah.
