So we received the transfer call!!!! Elder Aubrey surprisingly is leaving.. and i get to stay another transfer!! hahaha It was really really surprising that I didn't get transferred... but I get to stay in Sacheon for at least 1 more transfer!! Which means I get to be here for about 7and a half months hahaha, only a few people have stayed in this area for 4 transfers and I am the first person to stay here for 5 hahahah it is super crazy!!
I am really excited to be staying here for one more and I get a new companion who came to the mission with Elder Aubrey! His name is Elder Giles, I have never met him or anything, but I hear he is cool! And that he is really good at soccer so that will make some of our investigators happy!!! It was really funny at church yesterday to see the members reactions because they all were guaranteed that I was leaving hah they fed me tons and tons last week, and when they found out elder Aubrey was leaving the y were so confused hahah. I am no longer a missionary in Sacheon, because i became a member now hahaha. The members were sad to see Elder Aubrey leave but really happy that I stayed!!! I love them all haha I'm so excited to stay so i can still see them!! Especially because some of them will be receiving mission calls this week!!!
This week were were not able to meet with Lorenzo again because this time we had no time, it was a really busy week!! And now that the testing is over our investigators can start coming to church again!!! YAy!! not much time to email!! Haha sorry, see you later!



So to start off this email, I found an 18$ suit here... of course I bought it and it is actually super nice. They had a big sale on only my size suits, and so I got one and members want me to go back today and check so they can get some too, everyone thought the suit was 200 dollars so I am pretty happy with the purchase :)
Anyways besides that last week was pretty great!! Sadly Lorenzo was so busy with work we were unable to meet him, but we will try to meet him this week!!! This coming week might be one of the busiest weeks I will have on my mission. Because it is most likely my last week in Sacheon the members want to feed us really bad, so pretty much everyday lunch and dinner is booked for the coming week!!!! I am pretty happy, and it will be a delicious fun week (Celebrating Thanksgiving a little late I guess)
So we had something so hilarious happen to us last week.... We were at our branch presidents art academy and one of the students there is a sort of less active student who is super tight with us. Anyways there is this other kid who isn’t a member there and he is famous at his school for not being able to sing super well. So he was listening on his phone to a video of him singing and Elder Aubrey told him to just sing for us and, well I will just let the videos explain.
On saturday we played soccer with our investigators and some random high schoolers.. so it was me and Aubrey with three of our middle school investigators against some super good high schoolers, and we beat them, so it was pretty epic. I honestly don’t know how we won because they were the better team, but our goalie and defense wrecked them so it was super fun!! I kinda forgot how fun soccer is, but our bodies were so tired afterwards, then our investigators helped us out and did a proselyting activity with us.They are so awesome!! Sadly it is testing time so they have no time to come to church or anything :( but other than that last week was so awesome!!!!
Love you all and hope you had a great week!!!
화이팅!!!!!!




This past week was really awesome!! I had a great birthday (November 23), and thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!! The day of my birthday I was lucky because we had zone conference on my birthday so I could see a lot of my friends!! The sad thing is on my birthday I received a flu shot... not too bad, but who wants to get a shot? especially on their birthday??? Anyways I got some cake and it was great and I got some presents from members and investigators so it was a great birthday!!! I got some nice new reebok shoes from a guy we barely know haha and socks from the mission president's wife, and President Jeong is getting me a new coat as well :) I also bought myself a new suit, so all in all it was a great day!!
other than that last week was still awesome! Not as much finding got done because we didn't have much time for it, but we met with Lorenzo and he is doing awesome!! We shared the first lesson with him and I think he liked it! He wanted one in english korean and indonesian so he can practice his languages haha
This week we met with a bunch of our student investigators, but sadly because it is testing time they won't be able to attend church for a couple weeks :( we will continue to meet with them though!! And we will be able to meet with a senior because they just finished the big ACT test here, so now he has tons of time!! It will be great!!!
Anyways that's about it! Love you all <3
