This week was really fun!!! We were able to find a new investigator who is super cool haha His name is mister Jung and he is super good at english and a really interesting character!! We met him randomly as we were going to get a bus and he really wants to attend our enlgish calss!! He has called quite often annd he wants to learn english and about our church!! So win win for everybody right!?
Also some other crazy stuff happened this week! We met a famous actress while we were in German village on the Namhae island.. We might be either in the news or in her drama, casue when we talked the cameras were all pointed at us hahah, and at the time we didnt know she was fsamous so we forgot to get the picture taken..... sad :( But while we were there we got to meet lorenzo for a little bit and he is doing great!! His work schedule makes it hard to meet him, but we are working through it!!! he is so prepared!!!
This week some of our members here decided to throw me a surprise birhtday party!! it was aweosme and a super fun time, sadly i didnt have my camera... haha so sorry no pics from it, but i got a new nice tie from the branch presidents daughter and some othe rgreat stuff!!!
So this week we have some weird news... We are helping some guy sell a rock on Ebay.... He doesnt know english so he needs our help trying to sell this pretty cool rock on Ebay.. hahaha its pretty weird, but he is super nice and might acutally have osme interest!!! he says he will come to church sometime!!
This week on sunday we had 3 investigators make it out and attend church!1 It was grat, and we are hoping for more next week because they will be less busy!!!
Something cool that happened this week was when the olymic torch came through our town!! so we got to see that and it was prety cool!! anyways today is a district pday so  i gotta go!! Love you all!!!
The picture of the dogs is acually a dog farm.. all those dogs wil be eaten sometime soon, and there were thousnads more in the be\uilding on the left... hahah




So we had another crazy insane week!!! To start off I will say that we were disappointed when our middle school investigators were all asleep when church started... hahah we met them all saturday night and before anyone said anything they were all saying "we are going to come to church tomorrow, don't worry" and the asked us to call them all at 9 in the morning, but the never answered..... ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ typical students... hahaha but we will be playing soccer with them this week on Saturday with our members! I love Sacheon branch members! They do missionary work so well haha
This week we had a crazy tiring service project for our branch president's friend! WE went to his house in the middle of a bunch of mountains out in the island and built a rock wall.... hahah we actually didn't really build it, we just carried the rocks from the field.... it was soooo fun ;) we were so sore and tired the next day though..
Another crazy thing that happened was I met Elder Jang!!! I guess he is brother Jang now though... So if any of you can remember when i lived in Haeundae in a 4 man house, he was the Korean elder in our house!! /he is from an area near mine called Geoje, and i went there on exchanges and met him!! He gave me some great Costco muffins and also some bacon.. hahah I missed him so much, we had a super great time in Haeundae together!! It was really awesome to be able to see him again!!
So the craziest thing that happened this week was us finding 7 new investigators.... I honestly don't know why the work in Sacheon is blowing up, but this place is becoming legendary in the mission right now... haha usually its tough to find 1 new investigator, and we are in one of the smallest, most countryside  places in the mission... so while me and elder Aubrey were headed back home on a bus from the island Namhae, I was sitting in front of a foreigner guy, and started to talk with him, i ended up moving back behind to the seat next to him and had a tough conversation in the little and Korean he knew. He was really a kind guy from a country called East Timor, and while we were talking i found out he really wanted to learn English. So i informed him that as service we teach free English, so we later exchanged numbers and went to meet him and his friends on Sunday evening! We met them and they all didn't really know English or Korean that well, but hte kept saying "wait for our friend" and later a really kind guy arrived on a bike and he was fluent in English and Korean. So we got to know him really well and he is soooo humble and loving!! His name is Lorenzo and he seems to be a golden investigator!! So we will teach him, and through him, teach all his friends as well!!! But the moment we saw Lorenzo we could feel the spirit really strongly and I know we were sent to find him!!! I can't wait to meet him again! We will meet him on Thursday and probably play a little soccer and teach them all some more!!!
So a lot of the pictures are from the island, we got a hitchhike ride to a place i have never been, and maybe no other missionaries have ever been... haha but it was super pretty scenery down there so enjoy the pictures!!! Korea is the best!

Love you all!!

​This week was so great!! just like usual!
So this week me and elder Aubrey had a blast!! We went to the border of our mission to a mysterious little town called Hadong, and I love that place so much!!! I really want to open it up as a new area, so we will see what president thinks. Anyway not tons really happened this week, just lots of street jundo and meeting investigators!! This week we met lots with our middle school investigators and found 3 more investigators out of them and had 3 of them came to church!! Sadly it dropped from last week because they were all asleep..... haha typical students. But we will met them and have them all come next week!! This week we are planning to give them baptismal dates, so pray for us and them that they and their parents will accept that!!! Sorry that the email is so small. I will send lots of pics!!
