So hey everyone!! How’s it going? Right now I’m emailing in none other than wonderful Costco.Pretty nice, the cheese pizza is the only American type of pizza that they have here in Korea.. It’s amazing though!!

 

Anyway, this week went really well! We were visited by an apostle, Elder Oaks, and he shared an awesome talk with us missionaries! This week we found an awesome new investigator! His name is 곽탱형 (Gwak Teh Hyeong) He actually went to school in America for high school and university! He is a really quiet, nice guy who is about 27 years old. We met him in a McDonalds and he is a quiet religious man, and just really seems like he needs some friends. He has a pretty close relationship with God through prayer and seems to like the Bible quite a bit! This week we have been focusing as a mission on trying to find more families to teach, in korea you don't teach families a whole lot so our awesome mission president is focusing on finding families before he leaves us.

 

Speaking of President Barrow I had an awesome last interview with him before he heads back to America and we get a new mission president, and in it he gave me a super awesome blessing! He told me that within the next few transfers that I will become senior companion and that I will soon be one of the leaders leading the mission. Kind of scary because I don't feel prepared for responsibility like that, especially with how crazy things will be once the new president comes in, but I'll do whatever my mission president asks me to do, so I'm trying hard to prepare now, so we will see how it goes from here!!

 

Yesterday we had an awesome meeting with our investigator 정원영 (Jung Won Young), and he will be getting baptized towards the end of next month!!!! He is super funny kid and for some reason absolutely loves the sacrament haha every time we bring it up he talks about how much he loves the "Special bread and water" And it's super funny! He's a great guy and we had an awesome lesson with him yesterday, he loves to learn about the gospel because it's so new to him! Super prepared investigator!!

 

Elder Oaks meeting was so awesome!! He is a hilarious man, and gave an awesome talk!! He helped us on how to better teach our investigators and I'm already seeing the improvements since then!

 

This week we met with some Jehovah's Witness missionaries and the sad thing was that my companion knew more about their doctrines than they themselves knew. Sometimes the other missionaries get really annoying cause they are super punks, but we actually have an investigator who is Jehovah’s Witness so we will see how that goes. Today is a huge sand festival that is happening over at the big becac here so we will go to there today with almost all of the Busan city areas! It's gonna be great! Love all you guys! Have a great week!!!
