REALLY Big News Flash!!

The Daejeon Mission is about to expand! Beginning with our next transfer on March 4th, the Suwon Stake, currently in the boundaries of the Seoul West Mission will be incorporated into the Daejeon Mission. This means that we will also receive twelve precious missionaries from the Seoul West Mission who serve the Suwon Stake. On our part, we are thrilled with this wonderful news. On the other hand, we sympathize with President and Sister Burton and the grief they and their mission will suffer to turn 12 of their beloved over to us. However, we are all in this wonderful work together, and allegiances can be shared. Love multiplies, it does not divide, and we consider the missionaries who will transfer to be very blessed indeed, to be able to broaden their experience in building up the Kingdom of God in multiple missions. We don't yet know who they will be, so stay tuned for our next exciting transfer week!
The rest of the story is that in July, at the end of President and Sister Burton's three year assignment to preside over the Seoul West Mission, the Seoul and Seoul West Missions will combine under the leadership of current Seoul Mission President Lee Yong Hawn. The Pusan Mission remains unchanged.

What's nuts about that is those 12 missionaries will get to experience both Seoul and the southern areas in the KDM! Lucky...

My son, Elder Sorensen, is one of those 12 missionaries. He's looking forward to it!

Does Suwon include the folk village in Yongin?

Wow! Those are some changes! Guess some of those missionaries could have 3 or 4 mission presidents by the time they are done.
