Seven children & thirteen grand children. We are back in Korea for our 5th mission, 4th to Korea.
Attached is a quick summary: OUR KOREAN ENCOUNTERS, 11 Sept. 2009 The country has modernized miraculously overnight. They have done in a few decades what the West took centuries to do. However, the most enjoyable part of serving in Korea was the association with the beautiful Korea Saints. Of course my wife, Ruby, has served two missions in Korea as my companion. That makes 7 people of our family that served missions in Korea totaling 24 years of missionary service. Our upcoming call to the Seoul Korea Mission, 2009-11, will boost the total to 28 years of service in Korea.This missionary activity produced other interesting connections. General Authority Emeritus, Han, InSang and I served together as companions for a short while in 1964. Some thirty years later our sons Micah and YongHui served as companions in the Korea Taejon Mission. Our daughter-in-law Christina is the daughter of Chang, YangBo of Tahiti, who served as a missionary under President Spencer Palmer. In the future I expect more connections will intertwine as our family grows and as the Church continues to progress in Korea. We are so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of God’s working in this part of the world. Missions served in Korea by members of the Ronald K. Nielsen Family: Mission Brother Rocky K.
