This Tweek was pretty insane!! We saw a lot of miracles! So to start off t started with us going to visit the MinGyoon the less active! And we found out some crazy things about him!! He used to have a lamborghini, yes the car.. and he had a Maserati (Idk if i spelled that right) and BMW and all these other crazy cars, but he sold them once he got cancer! So yeah apparently he has cancer as well?? He is so cool and has a crazy backstory!! I really like him and we have become really close friends now!! he is progressing little by little every week to making his comeback to church so it is awesome!!!
This week on Thursday we met with Lorenzo again!! This time he brought a friend named Alex and we taught a really really powerful 1st lesson!! They will be for sure coming to church this week!! We meet him again this Thursday and we will be taking him to meet the branch president who will give him a ride to church!! I am really excited to see where things go!!!
So the crazy day happened on Friday while we were doing weekly planning! Weekly planning is honestly pretty annoying I think because it is so long and boring, but we are supposed to do it so 어쩔 수 없죠?? ㅎㅎㅎ So anyways while we were doing it Elder Gilles was pretty wrecked so he fell asleep pretty much while he was talking hahaha (It happens to the best of us occasionally, don't judge) anyways while he fell asleep I started doing a ton of contacting and got some crazy stuff done that i was not expecting haha So I set up an appointment with a former investigator from awhile back and we will be meeting him this week and then we got a text from a student saying how he walked by the church and he wants to come! And then we got a random call from the sisters who were meeting with a less active lady who gave us a referral of her boyfriend!! She wants to come back to church and she wants him to be a member as well!! So it was a pretty successful weekly planning hahaha.
Overall it was a super great week!! I am really excited going into the last week of the transfer!! time really flew by quick and to be honest I think i will stay 1 more transfer here (Which means going 6, which is not normal at all, especially in a small area like this) and I really hope i stay cause i am loving here!!! I am just a member in Sacheon so I don't want to leave haha. We met with President and he he pretty much told me that if Elder Giles wants me to stay then I will stay!!! I really hope i do!!!
Love you guys!! have a great week!!!
Oh PS It snowed!!!!!!!!!! Hasn't happened in a super super super super long time, so I am wondering if global warming is truly a thing.... ;)​




So this week was pretty crazy... Haha It began with last p-day, we went to Masan and met bunch of other missionaries in the zone and played some basketball and ate at a meat buffet. the meat buffets are so good, we just kept pounding so much meat!! The nwe ate some waffles that were super delicious and went home!! On Tuesday we went on exchanges with the Zone leaders, I went with elder Park Insu in Sacheon! So to start off we went and visited the less active who owns a nice clothing store! I think I talked a little bit about him and he is so awesome!! His name in  Kim MinGyoon. So while we were with him, he told us that since the last time we came he has decided to quit smoking!! he has been less active since 2004 and so he picked up some bad habits, but he is slowly starting to come back!!! I then started trying on a bunch of the clothes in the store and he flipped out and started saying how when i come back to Korea for school he is going to get me a part time job as a model hahaha, so I am going to be a model in a few years I guess ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ The next day was district meeting and we had a really funny experience after it haha, so I went on exchanges from Tuesday to Wednesday with Park Insu elder, then from Wednesday thursday I went on exchanges with Vongsayo elder! We were in the MTC at the same time and it was super fun going with him! He is in an area called Tongyeong and the last time that I went there i met this Korean guy named Richard, he really liked me and so when we went back again he fed us and i traded some ties with him (Don't worry mom I only gave away my bad ties) And I got some super super super nice ties haha they are Korean style so they are sparkly and I am really happy haha, he also might be buying me a new coat, in Korea they call it Long padding, I don't know what it is in America, but it's really nice and warm, so i kinda want it hahaha. Anyways back to the story at district meeting. So we finished the meeting and went and ate and then me and elder Vongsayo and the Geoje elders (Cantarero elder and Stephens elder ((he was in my MTC district) and the Tongyeong sisters were walking to a bus stop to head back to the big bus station so we could leave, the other teams all took taxis, and if we took a taxi we would be leaving a team out so we decided to take the city bus haha, we missed a couple buses and then when we finally got one the driver yelled at us not to pay for the bus, so we didn't pay and we later found out that he was a less active member who loves the missionaries haha I was laughing pretty hard because it was just a really funny day!!
Anyways later in the week on Friday night while we were street proselytizing we were walking and no one was on this street and this sketchy looking guy came out of an alleyway and was walking in front of s. The first thing Elder Giles said when he saw him was "Wow that guy looks like a gangster" anyway so we were walking faster than him and when we got close I said hi to him hah ii think it kinda scared my companion because he wasn't expecting us to talk with him, but the guy was soooo nice and he was really amazed that we were out here serving missions!! He doesn't have a religion, but while we were talking he was wondering why We looked so happy and why we would come so far to do this, so we shared our testimonies with him and he asked for all of the pamphlets!1 We got his number and he seems like he is a really promising guy!!
Anyway so I am sure you are all wondering what is up with the title of my email!!!! So yesterday my companion Elder Giles was super super sick and dying to the point where we couldn't even go to church ㅠㅠㅠㅠ it was really sad cause i love church and the branch needs our help, but Elder Ges was really sick and puking so it would not have been a good idea haha he is doing a little better though!! I really hate d staying inside all day, missionary work is hard on the inside of your apartment :( but we are going to work extra hard this week because of it!!!
I am really excited for this week!! We have lots of potential investigators that should turn into investigators by the end of the week!!! I am loving working is Sacheon, I never want to leave haha love you all!!!
Also this week we went to my fave place Hadong

So don't have tons of time so i have to right this super duper fast, I will send pics later! Today we go to Masan and have a zone pday!! it's gonna be super fun!!! no clue what we will do! and i'm talking to a guy in Korean right now os my mind is going crazy trying to type a email and have a conversation so it is kind of hard to do both... hah but i have no time to email so i have to multitask, so sorry if the email is crazy and all over the place!!
This week went well, we met some new people and met a really cool guy hitchhiking who maybe wants to learn english and church so that's awesome!!! Last week on Christmas we had a member randomly buy us chicken, but the funny thing is that she bought it over the phone haha because she lives far away and it was time for us to go home, but it was delicious and really interesting to have her buy it over the phone for us haha (it was the same sister who smashed an egg in my face at Christmas) Lorenzo is doing really good!! He finally will be able to come to church this sunday!! yay!!! haha he doesn't have to go the the hospital anymore so he has time, he is excited as well as we are!!!
We met with our student investigators and commited a couple of them to come to church this week, wand hopefully we plan on getting them a baptismal date!! We also met some new kids who really like us and one of them is the funniest guy I have ever met in my life hahaha, we played lots of basketball and soccer last week!! IT was a great week! I have to go now, so I send pictures a little later time!! really sorry if email is hard to understand but I am hoping that you understand that I am talking in a different language and typing in english at the same time while listening to Korean so it is kind of hard... have a great week!!!
