Awe SNAP was this week good!
Okay so most of the
beginning of this week was quite slow but as soon as 추석 (Choosuck)
Korean Thanksgiving came around the miracles started bumpin'.
So normally for Korean's thanks giving all the Korean folk go
to there home town...where they grew up. This thanksgiving is three
days long! one day for travel and the day to celebrate and the last day
to travel back. So on Choosuck day we as a mission had a giant
conference! Super fun! We learned a little about games they play on
Choosuck and they taught us how to cook some food.(already know it
because I' a cooking fool) Then we went to a big park where there stood a
50 foot pole with a Korean flag on it. In the park there was alot of
Koreans and foreigners there. So with a group of 150 missionaries we
surrounded that flag and sang the Korean National anthem then we
dispersed and made a video with three pictures depicting a story from
the Book of Mormon can you guess what it is???
Then after the conference our district was planning
on doing a talent with Kazoos (i thought of it), but we had an
appointment with our members so we had to bounce and the rest of the
district didn't want to do it with out us so...when Christmas comes
around you just might see it^^ The appointment with members was super
duper fun, They fed us a lot of meat and we talked a ton! They are really
really nice to missionaries.
Then the day after was our big "clean the house"
day, It was interrupted by a investigator that we met on the street a
week back and he called us and set an appointment up and we met him on
the street and talked alot about the Book of Mormon and him wanting to
change and find a little more faith. We will meet with him again today! I
hope everything goes well.
Also we ate at a Meat buffet afterwords with the district. It was elder Roberson's first! He enjoyed it thoroughly...
On
Saturday we heart attacked a members house. This member in particular
has a husband who is investigating the church right now, but for two
week i haven't been able to get a hold of them, so we decided to heart
attack. Half way through they came home and the little daughter caught
us but we told her not to tell her parents and we hid until they went
inside and then we tried to finish but they came out and invited us to
go to dinner with them. While at dinner we taught the Word of wisdom to
the father and talked alot about the Church and then a chef came out
from the back and asked about the Book of Mormon that elder Roberson had
by him, Elder Roberson and I explained and tried to offer it to him but
he said he had one then he left we thought we were on a roll then after
words we committed the Father to make a decision to stop drinking, he
will decide soon, he said. Then after that we bounced over to another
members house and on our way there a random old man started talking to
us and told us that he met missionaries back when he was 20 and he
really really wanted to see them again but he never got the chance. So
he was really happy to see us, he got our number and we got his address!
We will be visiting him soon.
Then during church, the family we visited the
day before (with the father investigator) came to church and we taught
him some more about how to pray and more on the church. We were lucky
that we had a member there who was willing to help me teach. Afterwords
the Father left with some good info in his heart. I hope that he will
pray soon. We are really hoping that he will be baptized this next month
next time we meet we will set the date! We are praying hard for him.
That was the excellent week of Korean Thanksgiving i hope you all enjoyed reading!
I love you, keep the faith, and may the force be with you.
