This week was so crazy! I went to Busan and back like 3 times so my wallet took a huge hit..... :( It's 15$ to go there and back, so kind of sucks. I had lots of meetings there and it was really great! I have been learning so much lately about how to better do missionary work, and I am excited to be putting it into work!
But anyways besides spending 20 hours on the bus, this week was awesome!!! I received my son, Elder Aubrey on Wednesday!! He is from South Jordan, Utah and is a great missionary!! He is already super good at his Korean as well!! I am super excited to be serving with him this transfer!!! Being a trainer is pretty interesting, because it’s basically do what you want time, and it’s really nice because since he doesn't know the culture too much I can teach him it!! It was great making my comp eat some crazy food in the first week. We had so many appointments with members and others so we ate some crazy stuff!! The first meal he are with a member is called 삼계탕 which is a whole chicken boiled in some soup I will send a pic soon haha he also ate some other crazy good stuff! I wish I had eaten as good as him in my first week!
So this week we had an awesome miracle! Yesterday while we were waiting at church (We have to show up an hour early) A sister member called us because she needed help carrying some stuff for the lunch that day, when we went down to help, she had come with her nonmember father, who is super stout presbyterian believer!! He had called her that morning and wanted to come to the church with her! We had met him before last transfer and helped him do some moving into his new house and have eaten with him before and he showed no interest, but now he wants to learn about the church!! It is awesome!!! Member missionary work is the best! When they came, one thing that came to my mind was the section in Preach My Gospel that says "No Effort is Wasted" I know for a fact that as long as we try new things and work hard, and always have faith to find people, we will find God's elect children!!
I have an interesting story to wrap up the email hahaha, so while we were waiting for a city bus to come email this morning, a lady approached us to strike up a conversation, it was kinda sad that I knew as soon as I saw her that she was a Jehovah’s Witness, but we have to be kind so I let her talk to us. I've met so many Jehovah’s Witnesses before though, so when she starting trying to tell us stuff I told her that I knew her doctrine really well... hahah She was nice of course (They almost all are) And we had a short discussion about our beliefs, when our bus came we ended up getting on the same bus, and when she was about to get off, the bus driver was of course crazy and she got launched into my seat...... So the Jehovah’s Witnesses now seem to realize that I am not going to listen, so they have decided to get physical with me... haahahahah.... When I talk with other missionaries I found out that for some reason I meet the most Jws out of pretty much everyone in my District and most the mission..... I don't know why.... I hate bible bashing so much now :( hahahaha luckily they are quite nice in Korea so it's not as bad as running into the missionaries for the churches that kidnap and brainwash people (ALthough I have run into them before) Churches in Korea are super crazy..... I love Korea so much though, missionary life wouldn't be the same without meeting all the crazy people!!! hahah
