Hello everyone! How are you all doing this wonderful Monday
afternoon/Sunday night? I hope you all are in a comfortable chair as you are
reading this email, else somewhere where you are happy and at peace with the
universe.
I actually have a few things to talk about this week, so
grab some chips or an ice cream and enjoy the email... Or just skip it, that's
okay too.
To start off the news this week, I found an American
football team here... dead serious. We were walking through the Weidae
(University of Foreign Studies) campus and we saw a guy throwing a football
around... So we talked to them for a minute. We decided that we could beat
them, but it's nice to see someone appreciating the sport.
We had an appointment with a Less-active member to invite
him to an upcoming music night, but he shows up and says that he has to leave
like right then to another appointment and doesn't have time to talk, or sit
down and watch a video. So we invite, give a flyer, and he leaves. It was
interesting.
Met an old guy outside his house looking at his onions and
mumbling something to us about them... We couldn't understand him... he did end
up inviting us into his house, though, and we didn't have time to teach but we
got his phone number and he said to come back whenever. So that's what we're
gonna do. Maybe.
Service project time... We went to an old person home to
help them colour pictures of trees. You would think it wouldn't be that hard,
but I used all my powers of invitation and commitment to try and convince this
harmony (Korean grandma) to colour the tree and it wasn't very effective. Even
then, though, I coloured the best darn tree in the whole darn place.
We met with some people this week, a lot of them named
Song... for one of them we had to leave our pizza in the hands of the other
elders while we ran down to meet with him. He said he'd come to church, in the
end, but couldn't come.
The second Song is a kid who has mostly English interest,
but come right after church and wanted to hear about the Book of Mormon. We'll
see him at English Class here soon!
Next is a Sung, who since last week has met with us 3 times,
and wants to learn more about church. He's in Busan right now, but he'll be
back later in the week for more lessons and hopefully he can get baptized in
Australia!
We were called upon to go down to the Stake Center to attend
a Relief Society event, where the Relief Society sisters in each ward in the
Stake put on a performance. Of course, Imun was by far the best, but everyone
else did good too. It was pretty fun.
And now for the top 5 reasons that my companion was the best
this week:
1. He gave a talk in Sacrament meeting with almost flawless
Korean ability.
2. Following that, he taught the Gospel Principles class
about the signs of the Second coming- not an easy subject!
3. My companion also diligently called our investigators
while I attacked the food trash in the freezer.
4. He made all of us Elders into superheroes!
5. Finally, he taught like a champ during our 6 sit-down
lessons this week.
Not everyone gets to be with a companion for 4 transfers, so
I thought I'd praise my companion a little bit this week.
That's all for now, but I'll have more news and probably
also a photo or something to attach next week, so until then, Who is higher
than a 추장?
Answer: 고추장!
