So this week has been very idk how to describe it.
The beginning of the week was bittersweet as we got so many member meals
because A couple of the missionaries here were leaving! So we had meal
after meal after meal..... at one lunch appointment at a buffett we got a call
from another member telling us that we would be having dinner with them at
nigt... I literally started crying.... I couldnt eat anymore!!!!!! So
much food, but now we are dieting! Cant eat anymore without getting sick
haha. So the first 2 days of the week was just that. Meal after
meal after meal.
Wednesday was transfers and we were blessed to be able to
have a greenie come into our house by the name of Lee Min Young. Very
nice young kid from the south of Korea. Defintiely funny guy.
Doesnt mind speaking english. WE also got another Elder elder
Grimshaw from Noekbun area and Sister Choi from Gangneung zone way out east.
So our district changed quite a bit. Very fun though and excited to
be serving with these new people! ^^
This week we were punked 2 times by our progressing
investigator and then on sunday when we called him, this 35 year old mans mom
yelled at him and opposed him coming and getting baptized and such. She
called us a Cult church and a cult belief. We have dealt with that a lot
lately, especially as people look us up on the internet. Most people here in
Korea dont use Google like we do, they use naver which isnt as good and
unfortunately for the church when you look up our church on naver almost all of
the websites say that we are 이단, whcih is a cult.... Our church
website doesnt show up until the 2nd page I think. ITs so sad, we
even have a QR code to show people our website, and they dont believe it, they
go to naver first and then walk off because they think we are cult....I pray
taht soon the website will be fixed and people will realize we are not a cult.
Not much in terms of spiritual things happened this week.
I finished Jesus The Christ in my personal study and definitely learned a
lot more about my Lord and Savior. I highly recommend the book to anyone
who is wanting to learn more about Jesus Christ. I am also trying to read
the new testament which is very dry and hard to read sometimes. But we
persevere.
Since not much spiritual happened this week, Ill share some
funny stuff that happened. First off I deep fried Fried Chicken for lunch
on wednesday, very scary, didnt know waht I was doing. But it came out
alright and I also made french fries. Everyone was kind of freaked out
because the oil was splashing everywhere!!! On thursday we went subway
jundoing and I bought a stretchy fanny pack.... Its Helpful ok??? It really is
nice to not have everything in your poickets got all sweaty from working
outside all day. My pants ripped when I tried to lift Elder Scalfs box.
Very sad day for my pants :( I Ate Jellyfish and Octopus in one
sitting. Very cool, pictures online now. Found a waterfall near our
house, that we are probably going to visit soon! It rained for 5 straight
days here!!!! So crazy! And I made videos of some basic korean words and
grammar that you can use? I dont know but email me what you want to hear
and Ill make a video of it~!!! I also Found out that the old korean but
still very common word for wife is "Our House Person" small
explanation in the videos!
So yeah, not much happened this week, we are hoping to meet
with some people this week and hopefully we will start seeing some progress
here again in Dobong. We found out from President this week that a couple
of years ago that the devil really got into the ward here... He wouldnt
tell us specifics but that it really messed up the area and we are still fixing
it now. Very creepy!!!!
So I hope everyone at home is doing well, I heard there are
some new additions to our family and so I cant wait to hear and see pictures of
everything! Congrats to everyone, you are all in my prayers! Love
all of you!
Are you my Yobo?
