Dear Brother & Sister Lee,

Sister Jayne Ann Lee arrived in the Korea Busan Mission on June 14, 2016.  Sister Barrow and I had the choice opportunity of greeting your daughter at the airport and welcoming her to Busan.  Even after a lengthy flight, she is in good health and spirits and we look forward to serving with her.  She is a fine young missionary and will be an asset to the mission.  We have been anticipating her arrival and it was wonderful to meet her.  We will care for her as we would for one of our own as she labors in the mission field.  We understand the concerns, hopes and prayers of priesthood leaders and loved ones.  We want each of the missionaries in the Korea Busan Mission to have a rich, growing and successful experience.  Be assured that should a time of special concern arise, I will notify you immediately.

Enclosed are three photographs: (1) a group picture taken at the airport upon arrival; (2) a photograph of your daughter with Sister Barrow and me that was taken the day after she arrived; and (3) a photograph of your daughter with her first companion, Sister Shannon Gomez, from Hau’ula, Hawaii.  Your daughter has a good attitude and a desire to serve the Lord.  We spent time together and had an opportunity to visit privately together in the Mission Home.  We are grateful for her worthiness and for her willingness to serve, and we pray that the Lord will bless and strengthen your family through her service.

Missionary work in the Busan Mission is new and exciting, and our missionaries find great rewards in serving the Lord here.  Sister Lee will learn much about herself, our Savior Jesus Christ and His gospel as she serves with all her heart, might, mind and strength in the Lord's work.  She will come to understand her role as a disciple of Christ. (3Ne. 5:13)

We thank you for your support and ask you to write regular encouraging letters and send faith promoting experiences to her. We know that as Sister Lee works with all her heart, might, mind and strength she will have a most amazing missionary experience.  We know you will experience the miracle that is missionary work through your daughter’s fine diligent efforts.

Welcome to the MTC

The first day at the MTC was very busy you get moved around from place to place and you just keep getting a lot of the same information you have heard before repeated back to you.  And EVERYONE says "welcome to the MTC" and the first couple of times it seems really nice but after 300 time of hearing it you are done with it.  So my companion is Sis. Brady she is from Texas and i love her.  We get along so well and it is great.  So the first day at the MTC they put you in your class to start learning your language and by the end of the day we knew the korean alphabet and they only speak to you in korean so I am getting really good at charades.  We pretty much are in the class room all day either studying or studying and if were really lucky we get to study.  But its great we can really tell that the gift of tongues is real because you learn so much in such a little time of only one week. My district is just me and my companion and Elder Paul.  So we are going strong with just the three of us.  But its really nice because we get more one on one attention from our teachers.  I get to play volleyball everyday and i love it because we are actually not studying during that time!!  And the food here is lets just say interesting.... so I'm going strong with the cereal and salads.  Our Zone is so cool.  We are half english speaking and half native koreans.  Korea doesn't have a MTC so when people in korea get called to go to korea they come to the provo MTC to learn to be a missionary and get sent out to provo utah for three weeks and then they ship them back to korea.  So its super cool to try and talk to them and learn more korean or how to actually speak korean. Our schedules here in the MTC are super booked.  We really don't have anytime to ourselves we are seriously going from one thing to another and we are in the class room for like 12 hours a day.  But its good because we are learning the language but i'm slowly dying at the same time because I just want to move around!!!!  For our Sunday devotional we had the BYU's men's choir come and sing to us and it was so cool and we were not in the classroom!!!!!  And on Sundays we got to hear from one of the 70s and we sang in the choir because my district in musical and i am not but it was really fun.  I have been able to play volleyball this week everyday so gym time is my favorite because i can actually move.  But this week is great i am not going to lie the MTC is super hard and i am more stressed out then i have ever been but i am loving it!!  So if you want send me packages and mail because i seriously love getting them!!

Love you all!!!
