Hello everyone, I'm coming to you live from beautiful Korea,
where I have yet again come into contact with huge, gigantic bees that seek my
utter destruction!
So last week after emails, the whole district went out to
Gapyeong, about 2 and a half hours away by train, to visit a member family.
They're in the distant countryside, they have a nice house, with a bit of land,
shared by the aforementioned bees. It was really pretty, I thought about moving
there after my mission.
In other news, I have a new companion! His name is Elder
Eagar, from Lehi, Utah, and so far he's super cool. He likes sports, but even
more than that he loves missionary work!
We also have two new elders in our apartment, Elders Johnson
and Ryu. Both are super awesome missionaries and I'm excited to work with them
for this next transfer.
Elder Eagar's first day here, we met with Bei! He kinda just
called us and we met at the church. We talked about prayer and invited him to
church, but he didn't come. We still love him though.
But guess who did come to church? Brother Yi's family! She
left her kids there for classes (as she had to do something else), but she
promised to come next week! They are super awesome people.
This past Saturday as well us and the Ward put on an English
Village! We spent some time helping elementary school kids practice English by
role-playing real English scenarios, such as a school, hospital, and a 7-11!
That was super fun, and with the ward involved it was a huge success.
In closing this week, I want to share a quote. I don't
remember who it's by, but it says that "We are a perfect church, made up
of imperfect people". Sometimes it's hard when other people, especially those
in the church, make a mistake that causes problems for others. It's important
to remember, though, that no one is perfect, and we should always be willing to
help and forgive one another, even when it's hard.
Have a good week everyone! Work hard and have fun too!
~Elder Skinner
