It hurts me to write this email because of how much food I had last night! A member in the ward invited us and one of our investigators over yesterday and we legitimately ate about 5 Kilos of meat, soooooo much food, and it was sooo good!!! People told me I would lose weight coming to Korea, however all I am doing is gaining a ton of weight every week. It is a good thing though, even though I sleep most of it off in a night. We eat extremely well here in Bangoejin!!! So far I have been fed by members 7 times and each meal is soooo much food, somehow i eat past the point where I feel like my stomach is going to explode each time. The food is soooooooo good here!

This week was crazy fun! We had a stake music festival and it was one of the greatest things I have ever done in my life. Koreans are sooooo funny! One of the areas have an elder from New Zealand, so their branch did the Haka (I hope that’s how you spell it) and it was so awesome! Also Kim Chang Ho (recent convert) took us to a store and wanted me to buy a 500 dollar suit, then he decided he would buy me one, and then he decided he could find a better one online! I don’t exactly know what is going on with him but we have told him multiple times not to do it, but with him you never know what he is going to do. Anyway, one day while we were doing Jundo (proselyting) nobody wanted to talk to us, so after about an hour and a half we came back to the church, and as we were stepping through the gate we heard a guy just yell "Hello!" So we came back and talked to a nice Korean guy who used to come to this church 30 years ago, he asked if he could come in so we let him come in and he told us about how much the church building had changed since he was here. Later in the week he randomly called us and told us he wanted to give us some fruit called kom, and that he was going to come to church the next day. So, he came to church yesterday and had a great time and told us he would come to our english class and to church again next week and then proceeded to pull out a massive backpack full of the fruit, and gave it to us.

We met this guy on the street one night, and he seemed super nice and interested in our message, he really liked Christ but then he started talking how God came to Korea 100 years ago (And by the way there are some craaaaazy churches here, some that imprison people and drug them to believe their church), and we thought he was just drunk (Because Koreans get drunk quite often) and he told us he wanted to meet us on Sunday. So we met yesterday and got our branch mission leader to help us understand him better, but before we got him the guy didn't want us to go inside the Church and he was being super sketchy and wouldn't go inside the church, and when we told him we needed to get the member he told us he couldn't talk and that he just wanted to take us to someplace not even in our area. It was super sketchy, so we got the member and they talked for a little bit, but none of us know what the guy wanted and where he would have taken us. It was pretty weird.

I did get a new suit and you will see it in some of the pictures, I really like it! It is way nice and fits perfectly and was already hemmed when I bought it. Anyway, that's all from this week as far as my life. Loving life here in Korea! Love ya!!
