Morning everyone! How's it going in the world today? I don't
really know, honestly, but if North Korea ever does something... Anyway. On to
the weekly email stuff!
The monsoon season is up and roaring out here, and while
there's not a whole lot of rain, it's sure been hot and humid. I'm not a big
fan either, but so far I've been able to deal with it pretty well. Lots of
water, sunscreen, shady areas and air-conditioned buildings, and just about
anything we can think of to get out of the heat.
In the midst of all this heat, my companion (Elder the Best
Companion Ever) goes down to meet with the Zone Leaders and passes the second
level of LPP, the Korean language learning program. So we're all super proud of
him and stuff.
Later on in the week we had a zone proselyting activity in
our area, where we set up some fun activities and used them to teach people
about the Gospel. As the district leader of Ilsan, it was my job to get
everything prepared and set up and make sure it was good! And at first, it
didn't look like it was gonna go too great, but amidst the stress of the
situation, I took a minute to pray and was able to think clearly enough to move
everything over to a better location and allow the zone to find lots of
miracles!
We're still meeting with Eliot and though his baptismal date
is fallen through, he's still doing well and we're trying to help him to
progress towards a new one.
On exchanges, me and Elder Judd saw a few cool miracles! We
met three nice people (all of whom spoke English ^^;; ) and though none of them
were able to meet again, they were super cool! Exchanges always bring miracles!
Then on Saturday, we hosted a Mutual night with the YM/YW. I
hosted a game of Mafia, and at first it turned out a lot like the zone
activity- it looked like it was gonna be a flop, and no one was gonna come. But
we waited it out, and the people that were there got it on like Donkey Kong and
started calling everyone that wasn't there, so that 30 minutes later, we were
able to have an awesome activity.
So this week I guess you could say I learned a lot about
relying on the Lord in times of stress. It's comforting to know that after
you've done all that you can do and things seem like they're about to fall
apart, the Lord makes sure that things will work out somehow.
Long email is long, but one more item of business... This
week we got 12 packs of the spiciest ramen in Korea! Wish me luck this week as
I try to finish this 불닭 볶음면! (Bul-dak Bokkum Myeon- Spicy Chicken flavoured stir-fried
noodles).
Love you all,
~Elder Skinner
