Elder Frazier has been transfered to the City of Seoul. He has taken on some additional responsibilities as a Zone Leader and currently is assigned to labor with two companions. This last transfer brought 33 new missionaries to the mission while only 3 returned home - it seems as though a lot of training is happening! In order to understand Elder Frazier's new area better and how things are going we played a little game - 20 Questions...
Q - What do you like most about your new
area? A - I like just being in the city. That's mostly it,
the people are meaner haha.
Q - What is the greatest challenge with
the new area? A - Working with the ward. They aren't as
friendly and three wards were combined into one last year. there is some ward
contention
Q - What are your new responsibilities
with your zone? A – training with other companionships and
just talking responsibility when things go wrong haha. that's about it.
Q - How large is the zone - # of
missionaries, % of mission geography covered? A - 23
missionaries. like 5%. it's a really small zone geographically.
Q - What has been the greatest
experience so far as a Zone Leader? A - Being able to train
the missionaries one on one when the opportunity presents itself. It's
interesting. I feel like people respect me more. I came to a new zone and
people don't know me as well, interesting.
Q - What are your responsibilities for
Zone Conferences? A - we never have zone conferences. we've
had one my whole mission and there is a mission conferences like, every 2-3
months.
Q - How big is your new ward? A
- 140 active members
Q - How many missionaries are serving in
this ward? A - 7
Q - How close are you to the mission
home? A - I'm a 20 minute train ride. We are the area over.
Q - Do you see President Christensen
more often with you new responsibilities? A - Yes. It's
awesome.
Q - What is your current most favorite
fruit? A - don't know really. really, we don't eat much of it
so whenever you get any, it's a treat.
Q - How would you describe the most
challenging part of being a Zone Leader? A - not sure yet haha it's
only been a week.
Q - What are the 5 most recent Korean
words you have learned (English Please...)? A - accent, to tie a tie,
public transportation, delusion, to pee. it always surprises me how many random
words you learn by living with a Korean
Q - With the weather getting colder,
what do the Korean people drink to keep warm? A - it is getting
cooler. They have a lot of teas. Unlike japan, not many of them are tea leaf
bases (they're herbal) so we get to drink essentially all of them
Q - How is the knee? A
– fine.
Q - How is the toe? A
- all better. not sure how haha but it doesn't give me any problems.
Q - What do you do for exercise each
day? A - pushups, a pull-up if i want, a lot of stretching
haha
Q - Tell us about your current
investigators... A - We have one really not much to say.
We’re in the process of finding more right now. funny how that happens.
Q - What are the most important things you can teach
your younger brother prior to his mission? A - that's almost as hard
as the last question. I think, just try to develop a deep love for Christ and
try to understand his life a little more.

Elder Kim before he returns home from serving an
honorable mission... I'm sure Elder Frazier is giving
him a bit of a hard time... showing his love the
Elder Frazier way. |
 |
| New "Green" Companion Elder Park... I'm sure the caption in his head is saying something like - "What have I gotten myself into with these two Elders...?" |

We are grateful for the experiences he is having and the blessing we feel in our lives from his faithful service!
