Ah, it's been a great week!
First off I was able to get my foreigner card, so I’m like
now legal to be here or something thankfully. So that was a relief, haha.
We also went on exchanges this week! So I went with our zone
leader, 이해성 and it was great! first off because
he is korean, haha, so I was able to practice a lot of korean! And he is just
such an enthusiastic missionary, so it was a lot of fun. Also, we got some
delivery Korean Fried Chicken, which is pretty famous here, but I hadn't had it
yet, so that was amazing. Haha, it really is just so good!! So the exchange was
great, I learned a lot and ate very well.
Interesting Church name of the Week: The One Love Church of
Busan. I think they are fans of Bob Marley, but I didn't have the chance to ask
them.
Funny, Interesting lesson haha:
So... in our mission, we are asked to basically just try to avoid teaching the
opposite gender to avoid any possible issues unless we are teaching like a
family or a couple. so basically we just can't teach girls alone unless we are
with a member or in public place, especially because some girls in foreign countries just tend to just have
foreigner interest. So we had planned this appointment with someone through
just contacting them through a phone contact, and they wanted to get some pizza, and we were like "hey we like pizza, let's do it." So we go to this pizza
place, order and wait for who we though was a high school aged boy... Much to our surprise, a 24 yr old girl walks in and sits down next to us.
So at this point
we are very surprised and not sure what to do, luckily there was someone else
in the restaurant, but we just weren't prepared for this, haha. But of course
we needed to teach the gospel, so we did. And we found out that this girl has 3
Books of Mormon (Book of Mormons), but hasn't' read any of them, but now wants
to start studying the book an hour every day, so that was good, but odd. Then
because of this new enthusiasm, we asked her if she thought our church was
true, and much to our surprise again, she said she did! So we were like
"wow, great! So are you wanting to be baptized?" and she said she
doesn't like swimming. So we explained really what baptism, and now she
wants to be baptized after one lesson. So we aren't really sure what to do
because she may have just said she wanted to be baptized because two american
boys asked her to. So needless to say, it was a very interesting lesson! and we
are trying to figure out what to do now, haha.
So it was a great week! We are super close to getting one of
the people we are teaching fully prepared for baptism, which is a crazy
blessing! So his date is the 17th of November, his name is......... so if you want to pray for him to continue strong, that would
be much appreciated!
