Having served a mission himself in Korea under then Mission President Spencer J. Palmer in 1965, Mark Peterson came back in 1987 to preside over the Korea Pusan Mission. (P.S. we need a good photo of Pres. Petersen and his family to place here...)
REUNION INFO for KPM under Mark Peterson
Among them was Kim Jung Shik, whose family had kept diligent genealogy records. "As we learned about the Church family history program, I became even more interested in my personal family records," he said.
He said that after the Korea temple was announced and dedicated, he submitted to the temple his direct line back to his first known ancestor, more than 50 generations.
Another who gained a testimony of doing work for his kindred dead was Whang Chung Youl, who had not submitted family records.
On Jan. 28, 1988, he went to the temple as he had often done, and during the random assignment of names from the temple's general file, he was given a slip with his father's name on it. He and those around him were very surprised.
"I never had such a meaningful endowment session as I had that day," he said. "That night, going home, I truly felt that my heart had been turned to my father and my ancestors. My father had worked so long for me when he was alive and now he had waited for me. . . . I was able to know how much my father loved me." - From Early Korean Saints, an anthology of personal histories compiled by Spencer J. Palmer and Shirley H. Palmer.
