Humidity stinks! Elder Skinner and the Case of the Elusive Less-Actives! July 26



Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a wonderful week. I know we have.

To start off this week the elders in our apartment had an adventurous P-day! We visited a Buddhist Temple, a park where we got to look around a retired destroyer and a North Korean Submarine, and then closed off with a visit to the Air Force museum nearby! We learned a lot about Korea from it and grew our respect for the people here.



This week started off with a lot of time and not a lot of people to meet... We spent some time trying to find Less-Actives, in an effort to get out of the humidity and heat, but alas none of them were anywhere to be found! We've been working pretty closely with a couple of them but it's hard sometimes to help people come back to church.

But at the end of the week, things got better!

Saturday we had a district Fireside, where a guy and his family all came in and played some music for us- he was a Tenor, his three daughters all played violin, and his wife played piano. It was good, and a lot of English Class members and less-actives came!

Then on Sunday, we found a new investigator! His name is Kwon. He's 59, his family all lives in New York but he's from Gangneung so he moved back here. He's been to church before but wasn't really impressed, but when we started sharing the first discussion he was super impressed! Especially by the fact that none of our leaders are paid. He really wants to learn and wants to come to church sometime!

This week is looking to be a great one, so cross your fingers!

Hope you all are doing spectacularly! Remember that people are supporting you, especially all of you out in the mission field or preparing to serve. Don't forget that you are a child of God!

Once again, have a wonderful week!

~Elder Skinner
