Daejeon Stake English Camp

The Daejeon zone missionaries participated in a 3-day English Camp sponsored by the Daejeon Stake. Over 160 youth aged 12-18 attended, of which 65% were guests of church members. Throughout the mission, missionaries teach English classes on a weekly basis in their areas as a service and to build rapport with the community. We always hope and plan that these classes will generate interest in learning about the gospel.
We are excited that the English Camp was such a success to be extremely well organized and attended. The missionaries worked (and played) hard with their groups. They each were responsible for a creative booth to teach (14 times a day!) a language concept. Three well known and nationally popular guests presented seminars during the event including Robert Holley, who served his mission in Pusan, known for his success in TV and radio as well as a developer of several foreign schools throughout the country. PJ Rogers, otherwise known as Kim Mi Nam, is also a returned missionary from the Seoul West Mission, and a popular TV and radio personality who lives in Korea as a business consultant. President Perriton is also well known as the former President of GM Korea, giving rebirth to the very successful Daewoo name in Korea.
Above are some photos of missionaries at the event, including a demonstration to help teach line dancing!
