Hello everyone! How are things going this week? Things are
going pretty good for us out here in Ilsan, Korea. The weather is cooling down,
and it looks like as the weather cools off, the work of the Lord is heating up
in Ilsan!
But first, it was P-day, and those of you who know Korea
know about the love push machines- throw in a dollar and you have a chance to
push a toy off a shelf and into your hands. My companion is a big fan, and I
happen to be pretty good at them, so naturally we spend some time on one nearby
the barber shop. With a total of 6 dollars (7 tries) we are able to win three
prizes, with one of them taking only one try. It was pretty great.
But now back to the actual missionary work.
After zone meeting, I was able to go out to Wondang ('the
dang' in the title above) with one of my zone leaders, Elder Ridge. Naturally,
the first thing we do is go to a buffet with the other Wondang elders, but the
thing is, one of them is vegetarian... So we are forced to go to a much more
expensive buffet than normal, which was fine, especially when we get there and
find that our vegetarian friend is able to eat like no one else. Quite the
adventure.
While I was in Wondang, my companion and my friend Elder Dye
met with our new investigator from English Class, Jin. Jin didn't have too much
interest at first, but he accepted an invitation to General Conference on
Saturday and seemed to really enjoy it! So we'll see how he progresses!
And last, but surely not least, what we ate in between
conference sessions... One of the members took us out to eat by the church, and
as there wasn't too much to eat nearby the church, we went to a restaurant
specializing in fried Eel. Yep, that's a thing here too.
But that's my longer email this week, and I have to go, but
I'll see y'all here next week! Peace out~
