Hello family!

I got my travel plans today! Happy day!

Us Busan goers are very very lucky compared to the Taejon and Seoul people! Seoul people leave early to get a 6am flight to Dallas Texas, then they fly to Seoul. The Taejon people have to wake up earlier to catch a 535am flight to San Francisco then to Seoul............AND US BUSAN people get to leave at like 800am to catch a 11:22am flight to San Francisco. We then get to go to the Tokyo Narita, Japan airport! It’s a lot more fun when you have layovers in a place like that. Elder Luke, in my district, is half Japanese and pretty much fluent in Japanese so he is really excited about that. We then fly into the Busan international airport at like 9:00 pm the next day...  

We also got a letter from the mission president earlier in the week. It talked about how when we got there we would have a 2 day orientation at the mission home before we would go to our assigned areas. It’s really exciting and now I just have to wait 10 days! From what I hear, President Gilbert, my mission president, is the most amazing person ever so I can’t wait to be out there.

So this week was pretty interesting for class. Brother Sung a few weeks ago got promoted to a zone coordinator. He is still our teacher but this week he had to go and teach other classes in our zone so we got to have that other class's teacher for 3 hours. We as a district are really blessed to have the opportunity to learn from 4 other different teachers. We got to learn things that out teachers weren’t able to explain and stuff like that.

Richard G. Hinckley, Emeritus General Authority gave our devotional on Tuesday. It was a very good devotional, he was very chill. Right afterwards we took an MTC group picture right there in the Marriott center. Apparently it is the 3rd time they have ever done that, and of course we were the biggest group yet. One sister in my district, Sister Pope, has been keeping track of how many times they use the word "historic" to describe things that have gone on while we were here. She said that the photo was the 5th time they used historic while we were here. This really is an amazing time to be in the match.

I don’t really have much else to say....so until next week

Love,

Elder Frampton
