Living "posh" in Seoul... |
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...?" |
