Hello Family!!
This week was crazy to say the least.
We have been working up the WAZOO with the American members here. Not that it was my choice its just they want to do work and who am i to impeded the work right?? We have been home teaching with members and visiting a lot of them because the branch mission leader has put stress on having missionaries around a lot^^ SO we have been around.
We visited with our branch prez. and his family, and another family who's wife is a Philippine and she knows all of them in the area and she referred someone who just ran away from the Philippines to Korea and she works at a Coffee shop. They are very missionary minded and the wife loves to talk and they love missionaries so it was a good meeting with them. And to show them that we appreciated there work we contacted there referral the next day and we became quick friends and she loves seeing us know. She even introduced one of here friends who also just moved here from the Philippines and she is Catholic but she is very interested in learning about our church. So two birds, one B.O.M(book of Mormon). Super awesome.
Oh on the fun side of things there was splits this week and an elder came up here and we taught English class... all the adults came went to another room and learned English and i was stuck in a room with 3 kids, who did not want to learn, so we played Marco Polo or at leased tried to and then closed with a spiritual message. Due to the splits going on with the other elders that meant that me and Flinders HAD to ambush them with Nerf guns we ran home before they even left the church and waited...lets just say they had been expecting something but we caught them by surprise^^ so much fun.
We had a Korean New Years conference this week. So us being on the bottom of the mission we decided to take the train there. Not the subway...but the train!! So nice! Seats and warmth and sleep and only 45 minutes instead of 2 and a half. The Conference was good, We got a ton of new material to work with and we went out and put it to the test on the new years day. I got a guy to fill out a survey and ask for me to come over and help his family grow closer!!! So sick. Then after that we had to bust it back to help one of our American members who asked for a blessing. He was a diligent missionary back in the day and a very active member. We are looking forward to working with him^^
After that we had another appointment with Julie. She took us out again and we found out why she treats us so nice. Its because her mom spoiled missionaries back when she was young, so she was raised that way and we have the hardest time telling her to stop^^
So one Sunday...My feelings after the 9-4 hours of church^^
Then after church we went and visited with our friend at the coffee shop and her friend. Oh and did i mention that our friend (myeoung-yi) speaks Korean fluently better than she does English and so we just speak Korean to here and English to her friend and they speak some weird speak admits themselves. So for anyone else who may have been there, must have been so lost.
Then we went over to a members house. The same members who fed us Christmas Breakfast. and so we all nerd-ed out together and elder Flinders looked foolish because he did not know nerdy things...fool he had a life and was outside working on things.^^
But yeah that seems to be the week^^ not to much to scream about but it still was super fun^^ I love you all
Keep the faith and may the force be with you.
