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.

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...?"

The Threesome, Elder Nye from Kirkland, OH, Elder Park from the Southern part of South Korea.  A great picture.

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