Hello
Family! How is everyone?
This week was fun we
had some interesting things that happened to us.
This Tuesday we had
the chance to go to the temple and it was Elder Roberson's first time. It was
very interesting, I feel that I’m just retracing my steps whenever I am with
him. He is kinda being a hassle, but we are working on it,
He is also struggling with talking with others. He needs to get there and
I’m trying to help him with it. Anyhow he is very excited to talk
with people; just not in Korean sadly... we are working on it. Anyway after the
temple we met with my old ward mission leader Brother Hahn from my greenie
area! He fed us some interesting lunch that was really good and at the same
time...you could taste the price of the food, and let’s just say
it wasn't a 10 dollar meal. I’m not saying he needed to buy us rich
food, but was grateful he thought of buying anything for us at all. Then afterward’s we went around and shopped for ties and other things,by the
way Braiden will be delivering those to you all shortly. After that we had to
rush back home to teach English class. That was fun, I told
our English class members that if they did their homework I would
show them how to make "smores" so we had smores...So FREAKING good!! And
our English class loved them. It was fun to bring a little
different culture into Korea.
Then on Wednesday we made a goal to talk with everyone, and guess what happened. The first guy we
talked to we got a phone number and return appointment! He said that one of
his buddies is Mormon and he kind of wants to find out more. So we
are in the process of getting a hold of him. Then after that we ended
up talking to a whole bunch of people on the sub way. They all got interested
and we got talking to them all. It was nuts! We handed out two Books of
Mormons and tried to get return appointments or numbers but we had to get off
ばば’
Then on Thursday we
got a random call from a past investigator and he said he wanted to meet. So
we set an appointment for that day and we met with him. After we met with him
we left that whole meeting feeling spiritually unclean...during the meeting we
found out that this guy is trying to find ways of "ancient prayer (secret combinations) to summon the
spirit of God to help other people resolve conflicts in their future.
Basically a fortune teller. He told us he liked to study religion and use
different things from all of them. We then taught him the true order of
prayer which he didn't really grasp, except for the middle
part of the prayer where you can ask God for things of your heart. He took that
as getting revelation for someone else...and he prayed for me so I could find
out what I’m going to do after my mission...guess what everyone!!! I’m going to
be a social worker!!! No, no I’m not.
Then on Friday we ran
into Braiden and had some delicious lunch with him. Man he is
almost, Asian sometimes. He ate better than my son. I still swept him
under the rug but...anyway it was nice seeing him. We might see him again
soon...
Then on Saturday, We
did a service project and hauled 100lbs cement bags up three flights
of stairs, 16 TIMES!!! It was fun though, then afterwards our member, bought us
lunch. SOOOOO good! It was noodles, soup, and clams! My
companion didn't enjoy it that much but he tried, he is slowly
adjusting. He needs to do it faster, haha.
Then on Sunday we had a
new investigator and her two children come to church! Their first time was
weird but they did well. It didn't really help that our
fist councilor gave a 55 minute talk. You could see
everyone getting sleepy. And so our two investigators that showed up
were kind of getting restless. Meaning that right after sacrament they booked
it out of thereばば. Also this next week we have a baptism coming
up on the 24th his name in Lee Jong Meen. He is the boy from the school, and we
are getting him baptized!!!! Whooo please pray for him! We need help with him
right now. Then after church we took a member with us to go give a blessing to
one of our old members in a hospital 1 hour away!! By train! We went there and
gave him a blessing and then as we were traveling back home the member called
his mom and asked if we could come over for dinner...we were shocked by we
appreciated it. Then he invited us over to help with family home evening
tonight he loves missionaries and missionary work, he is
also pretty funny guy. I’m glad he will be in our ward for a little
bit until he goes to America soon.
Anyways that's what happened this
week, sorry I will try and make it more spiritual next time we didn't really have time todayばば
I love you all, keep
the faith and May the force be with you.
