Elder Zachary T. Davis

This past week has been superb!! We now have an investigator with a baptismal date!!! Yay!! He is from Cambodia and knows some English, but it is very limited. He really likes the church and the things we believe in, and has had some crazy stories about feeling like he knows God is real and has had some crazy dreams he has told us about!! His name is 앳 랑이호! We met another investigator last week on Monday so my Pday was cut a little short but that is fine! His name is 최정수 and he is the same age as me. He is actually really good at english and we have formed a good relationship! The only problem is that his dad doesn't like the church... so he won't let him get baptized even though he had a baptismal date. Everyone pray for him please!!! He needs to be baptized!!!!

I have been lifting weights and I gained 2 whole pounds from one meal at a recent converts house yesterday, 2 whole pounds. I will be pretty big when I get home!! It is just me and Elder Cronin in the apartment. For our branch there are 2 sets of missionaries, us and two sisters! One is from Korea and the other is from Texas, they are both super funny and way fun to be around.

The things I have eaten..... Oh dear, they have some real good stuff but some other stuff.... ehhh. My favorite food is called 불고기 (bulgogi) which is a bunch of meat, and is is super good!! I also like something called 딱뽀기 (Tteokbokki) which is too hard to explain, I will send a picture. My least fave food is probably Kimche.. It isn't like it is really that bad, the taste is just kind of indescribable, and it makes my mouth feel funny!! But I made a goal that I have to eat at least a chunk of it no matter what, every time it is placed in front of me!! Another food I love is from a store called Paris Baguette here, and the ice cream they have is probably better then (never thought I'd say this) Edaleens Dairy... It is soooooo good!!!!! Also I got some awesome Chopsticks.

I do really enjoy it here, this area is the best because the members (which are mainly sisters in our branch) are so insanely nice!! They even drove us like 15 minutes in the opposite direction of their house to a different members house to eat!! Crazy nice!! And the members feed me so much food that I gain a pound or two or three. Korea is soooo fun, and the people here are so nice to us white boys, They always call us handsome, and I have gone to a few stores where the cashier gives me free stuff?? Haha they are so awesome here!!!
