This week was primarily spent with the missionaries in three zone conferences on what is known as Namhansanseong. CNN did a report on many of the UNESCO monuments around the world of which this is one:

We reviewed Enos's experience as captured in Enos 1 of the Book of Mormon.
Here are the pictures from the first day:
This is a great view of the east side of Seoul from the fortress wall.
Buddhist Temple inside the large complex.
This is a steep walk up along the north side of the fortress.
Here are pictures from the second day:
These are silk work larva eaten like candy. The smell is enough to keep you away!
These are our three assistants, all dressed alike!
All missionaries carried a large rock to the top and we created a monument to the weaknesses they were willing to give up. The rocks represented that weakness they left on the mountain.
There were lots of training sessions taught by Sister Turner, the zone and sister training leaders.
They had lots of reflection time to consider what they had learned and felt.
There are always the opportunities to have some fun as well!
The final day was much the same:
Entrance to the military compound
The final afternoon after all zone conferences complete.
A little 'plank time' afterwards with Sister Turner.
Push ups with President Turner
When they paint the outside of buildings they drop a guy off like a window cleaner and he paints with a roller. This is just a block from our roof top.
We had a wonderful baptism with an older lady on Friday. We had another on Saturday of a 24 year old young lady, but due to traffic, we arrived late and missed the pictures. The missionaries are doing so great in all they do.
Two missionaries singing at a baptism. They have amazing voices!
Some we work so hard they crash when they hit the car. We spend so much time in the car, it's easy to get really tired!
The best news for us recently is our second son, Nathan and his wonderful bride Kelcie gave birth to their third child, Isaac William Turner. We are so blessed. It's hard to believe Isaac will be two years old when we get to hold him for the first time!
We are amazed at the intellect and the warm social skills of our missionaries. We are so amazed each time we meet with them. This week is a week of interviews. We expect we'll have lots of close up pictures for you this next weekend. It will be a great week.
