Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Elder
Skinner's uninteresting adventures, starring Elder Skinner!
I'm not proud in my heart, I swear.
This week I got transferred! On Wednesday
we went down to the Mission Office (where transfers would be held) for Elder Bybee's final interview, and we decided to take the bus there rather than taking the train as we normally do. That turned out to be a bad idea, as it took nearly twice as long, (we also had to carry some luggage) and our bus driver was quite the crazy driver! It was kind of scary!
Then we transferred, and my new area is smaller than I
thought it would be... We can literally walk around our area in a big circle
once in a normal day (assuming no appointments)! It's a lot of city, but not
quite the same city as Shinchon or even Guri... I guess it's kind of a smaller
city sort of feel, a little bit more compact, maybe. Plus there are 7 universities
within our area, a few of them being pretty big.
New companion's name is Elder Wyckoff, from Orem. He's in
the same MTC group as Elder Bluhm (about 4 or 5 months ahead of me), and he's a
fun Elder to serve with. He's energetic and really gets involved in things.
He's a nerd like I am but he just doesn't express it as openly. XD
New apartment is bigger than my old one but still not quite
the size of the ones before that. Not too much special about it, except for the
other Elders living there... I'm with Elder Seely, from the MTC! He's finishing
training a new missionary (also from Utah) who I don't know as well but seems
cool.
The branch out here is super cool so far... It's about twice
the size of Gangneung but still only half the size of Gyomun (Guri) or
Shinchon... We're gonna make it a ward while we're here. ;)
But that's about it for this week... I've attached a picture
of me and Elder Wyckoff being awesome, but that's about it for events this
week.
This week's scripture is my Ponderizer for this week, Alma
30:41. It reads like this:
41 But, behold, I have all things as a testimony that these
things are true; and ye also have all things as a testimony unto you that they
are true; and will ye deny them? Believest thou that these things are true?
This scripture is a good reminder that we have a stronger
testimony than sometimes we think we do. Just remember the basics and you can
see yourself as God does- a person with a lot of potential! Have a wonderful
week, everyone, and as always, Let us All press on!
