This week was super awesome!!!! I will start off with the awesome guy that we found! His name is Jerry and he is Chinese and is looking for a religion. It was super awesome, he will be here until October so we have enough time to teach him everything and baptize him! We will meet him again tomorrow and start the lessons but he really likes us and what we are doing. It is kind of hard to meet him because he lives on an island that we only go to once a week, but I suppose we will start hitch hiking out there a lot more to meet him. He is around his 40s and has a family back in mainland China, he was initially interested in learning about Buddha, but when we told him we teach about Jesus and happiness, he thought it would be great to learn about him as well.

Also this week we gave Lee DongHo a Book of Mormon, and we met some of his friends through a basketball appointment, and one of them seems to have a lot of potential. We then met some other awesome kids, 2 brothers who want to learn english and really like us as well so this next week will be busy with appointments!! There are also a few more guys that have a lot of potential, so we will see how it goes!!

This week we also helped our member, Sister Hwang’s, nonmember father move into his new house, and let me tell you, moving Koreans in to a new house is so easy, so so easy. The houses are small so they don't need a ton of stuff. He thought we worked super hard and really likes us now, we are hoping that soon we will be able to start teaching him. I’m loving missionary work.

My Korean friend who is serving her mission in California recently sent me this scripture and it really helped me, so I hope it can help some of you guys!!!

1 Corinthians 3:6-8
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

6:The person who planted represents a missionary who teaches and finds people. The person who watered represents a missionary who baptizes people

7:God is the only person who gave the increase.  Neither is he that planteth anything neither he that watereth.   Neither person who plants nor person who change people's heart and converts them. Only God can convert people through the Holy Ghost. We can help people to learn the Gospel, but conversion of people happens through the power of the Holy Ghost

8:As long as we work in the garden, every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor
Hope that helps!!!

Anyways, I didn't take any pics this week.... woops I'll send lots next week if I have time!! Next week is already transfer week, crazy how fast time flies!!!! Love you all!!!!! 안녕!! ㅋㅋ
