This past week was crazy!! We saw one of the biggest miracles i have ever seen on my mission!!!! The week started off well with Elder Avila!! Tuesday we got this really cool referrall from the sisters from this guy who stopped them on the street and told them he wanted to study the book of mormon!! Of course we thought that was cool but we didtn realize how insane his story was until we met him the next day!!

But before we met him we had this service project where Elder Lee used to teach dancing to some kids! But because elder Lee left :(:(:( We had to figure out something new to do! So a while back for a district meeting i wrote this weird little paly haha and apparently sister Oh SeHyeon really liked it so she convince the kids to make me write them a play... so i have to write a parody for Frozen..... haha talk about a headache...

Anyways getting back to our crazy story, so I called the guy (His name is brother Song) on Tuesday night and set up an appoinment for the next night!! We were kind of worried he wouldnt show up because oit wqas raining so hard but he ended up showing up and we started teaching him the first lesson! He talked for the first 30 minutes all on his own and told us his life story (Which is crazy and if you want to hear more about it you will have to ask me when i come home) anyways the craziest part was when he talked about how he was in this hospital 3 years ago and he wanted to change his life up so he asked the nurse to give him a bible. The nurse (who is not a member) ended up giving him a book of mormon that she maybe recieved from missionaries awhile back!! So long story short, we taught a super powerful lesson and commited him to baptsim for the 31st!! He also came to church and loved it!! It was such an awesome experience!!!

The next day we went out to b\meet brohter Jwa and we got him back on date for getting baptized!! It will either be this week of the next!!! We are super excited and he is so ready to get baptized!!
Later in the week our younger investigator Kang JuHan decided he wanted to put makeup on me (he is into makeup) and so i let him.... the things we have to do for investigators..... So i wore makeup and it waws not very nice... haha i wil never wear it again for sure!!! I will send a picture haha

Other than that our english calss had tons of people come, we did some proselyting with the sisters and I was attacked by a bunch of highschoolers once again..... but the sister got lots of numbers at least.... haha the past week was great and I am excited to seet what the new transfer brings!!

Love you allllll!!!!

So last week went pretty well! Up until Saturday when we found out elder Lee would be transfered to Busan... :( So early this morning we took him to the airport and he left :(:( we were hoping we could do at least 1 more transfer together! he helped me learn a lot and we had such a graet time together...

Last week went really well! We had our 2 progressing investigators come out to church, and we are trying to get them baptismal dates now!! Things are going really well with them.

There wasnt to much crazy stuff except we had a service project at a fire festival that went super great!! It was super fun and we ended up meeting two members from California hah. A random kid in this choir group just yeller "ELDERRRRR" and came up and gave me a super big hug. haha He came from California to perform with his school choir in the fire festivals opening ceremony!! It was really awesome to meet him!!

So one of our investigators Brother Kong is super into makeup haha, he is a guyy but he is studying makeup and wants to become a professional makeup artist. So anyways I was joking around with him after church yesterday when i said he could put make up on me and he really liked the idea, so later this week im getting a makeover..... the things you do for an investigator..... hahahaha I will make sure to take pictures!!!

Anyways my new companion is from Australia and we were actually in the MTC at the same time!! It should be a fun transfer!!

Love you all

This past week was pretty eventful and this upcoming week is really busy!!! It is crazy to think that this Saturday we might receive ransfer calls! I hope elder Lee doesnt leave haha. SO before I talk about what happened last week I wanna let everyone in on whats going dow nthis upcoming week haha. So we have to do some translating and help with this big festvial this Thursday in Jeju!! We get to be interpreters ahah, I am really sick of translating though.. I have to do it every Sunday and last week was district conference so I had to transalte to the american people for a total of 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday.... It really makes my head hurt..... hahahah

Anyways this past week went by so fasst! So we met the kid who came to church last week whose name is Kong JuHan. He is iin highscchool and he is super awesome!! He was the one who randomly called us during church and then showed up!! So he really loves the church and is palnning on getting baptised! WE will be trying to set a date up with him this wednesday (I wont be there though becasue I go to Seogwipo for exhcanges ><) we are hopoing that his paretns will let him!1 He came to district conference this past week and loved it! He already got super tight with the members and he is actually going on a coamp with them right now haha. Also our older investigator Jwa GoMyeong was able to make it to church yesterday and although we have to push his baptismal date back just a little bit!

So last week On saturday we almost died haha, we played soccer early in the mornign for two hours and hten we went to a members house to help them move... and that day was busy full of meeting so we were always running around.. haha luckily the members who moved didt have tons of stuff! But that whole day we were out of enegy but we still were running around trying to get tons of stuff done!

Last week we decided to do a some proselyting activities with the sisters and we did something called beat the foreigners haha so we set up some games for the people passing by to try and beat me and sister morin at. I played a korean game called teh 초성게임 (혜지야 너만 이거 이해할수있지만.. ㅎㅎ ) which is wehere you take a two characters in korean and you have to make words using those characters. I won a couple people hahaha and I was also the champion of starig contest hahaha I went up against a kid for 5 minutes straight without blinking hahaha I also went up against a girl and she ended up crying haha I didnt think i was that ugly.... we met some great people from it!!

Today we had a raet pday with an american member family where we went to a cool mountain/crater! It was super fun!!! Love you all!

(PS My copmanion cut my hair hahah)

So this pasat week was pretty awesome!! It started off normal, being super busy, eating a ton of food with the members and stuff like that haha but Tuesday was a crazy day... so the sisters called us and told us that they wanted to do a proselyting activity together to help our english calss get some more members. So we got a board that people come and stick stickers on and have to answer some questions in english which allows us to introduce our enlgish program! So while we were doing this a huge group of highschool girls came by and started to stick stickers while my companion and sister Oh were telling them about why we we are here and stuf like that. I was standing a little of to the side trying to get more people to go and stick on stickers. Haha so apperantly while I was doing that a bunch of the girls started talking about me to Elder Lee and sister Oh. They were saying I was really handsome and they wanted to come to english class if I was there... and Sister Oh and Elder Lee encouraged them so much that they came over to me and wouldnt leave me alone for like 10 minutes... and they were trying to get my autograph.... hahahahha that day while doing the activity we were able to get 18 contacts!! sadly only 4 of them were guys..... hahaha, The sisters got so much contacts they want to do this a lot more often.... Then later that night a member that Elder Lee knew from Busan came to Jeju for the new year holiday (because he is originally from jeju) And he bought us soooo much good food!!! He is such a cool guy haha The things i ate that night were this, Sushi, raw beef, Sashimi, tons of seafood, tons of ice cream, things like that.. I will send a picture later haha, it was so good! I dont think I have ever eatnthat much in my life though... and later that night we met with a new investigator that we found who is from Canada!! He is a really interesting guy, and he asked tons of super deep questions!! He is really kind and is super curious about life in general! his name is Andy.

Not to much crazy stuff happened after that!! but we had a sister who just fed us a few weeks ago take us out again to the same buffet haha I dont think I have ever eaten as much food in my life as I have in Jeju... I am gaining a tonnnn of weight nowadays!!! And Thurdsday night we did a zone proselyting activity haha it was funny becasue the seogwipo elders carried a table halfway across the city.. hahaha we sang hymns for the activity!

Friday was Lunar New Year! In korea it is a big holiday and we were lucky toh ave our ward mission leader invite us to his house where we ate a ton of food!! haha and and becasue it was a big Korean Holiday Elder Lee got to Skype to his family!! And then later that night we actually went to his aunts house haha his mom is from Jeju so his mom side off the family all live here!! The weird thing is is that he doestn really know them that well and they arent memebrs haha, he was worried about coming here, but presidetn just told him to meet them anyways and convert them hahah so we ate dinner there and played a fun korean game!! Apparently im super good at it even thoguh i dont really know what I am doing... hahahaha

Saturday was a really really tiring but awesome day! In the morning we played tons of soccer with the branch and then later we met with the same member who fed us Tuesday and he bought us chicken and then we went and played basketball!!When we were playing basketball we met this super awesome kid! Sadly he is going to Seoul this week.... So Seoul gets a super awesome referal soon!! Me and him might be going to the same college when I come back to Korea!!

Sunday was a super crazy day! So I had to give a talk, and I also translate here becasue there are 2 members from philippenes and we have an American family here as well. I actualy met them for the first time yesterday cause they have been super busy for awhile! They have three daughtrs who are super cute and remind me of my little sisters Emma and Piper hahah I was really jealous of them becasue apparently they met one of my favorite athletes shawn white after he won gold at the olympics.. Speaking of which I didnt even know he was in the olympics this year until yesterday?? hahahaha I was super jealous ㅠㅠㅠ and while at church a new member who jsut moved here brought a freind and a kid randomly called us and wants to become am meber now??? Super awesome!! And our investigator Brother Jwa is doing graet!! We had an awesome lesson with him yesterday!! It is a really awesome feeling to be driving home after a really succesful lesson :)

This sunday is Jeju district conference and we are hoping a lot of people are able to come out!!! It should be another graet week here in Jeju :) Love you all <3

Another week went by in Jeju!!! Time is going by too fast :( It seems like it is going by even faster becasue we are sooooo busy here in Jeju!!! Last week was a great week!! And i fou

nd out that while i have been in Jeju I have gained 3 kilos :) They feed us really well here!! speaking of getting fed, last week we were fed almost everyday!!! The young single adult members here love to feed us it seems haha one of the mbought us a ton of meat last week and another one took us to a buffet called Ashleys...

Anyways quick funny story that happened last week!! We were doing family home evening with some of the members at the church, and one of the games that we decideed to do was blind lipsticking?? haha so i got chosen by the members to be the test dumby... so a bunch of the members came up, closed their eyes and then tried applying lipstick to me... the sad thing is, the guys put it on better than the girls.... hahaha I will send a picture of it later... it was pretty fun hahahah

It snowed a ton last week as well..... and its supposed to snow some more today :( hahaha but it should be over soon!!! I will miss the snow though :( I spent most of last week sliding around a\everywhere haha it was really fun!

So the highlight of last week was an acitivity that we had! We have been planning this "game night" for a little while now, and we finally did it last Saturday!! Sadly none of our investigators came, but a lot of less actives that we have been working with showed up!! we did a ton of games and it was super fun!!

Also this week we had zone conference, it was a really great meeting and some big stuff will be happn3ening soon!! We get facebook in a few weeks... haha our mission will start using facebook begining next month!! Not sure how that will go down, but it should help the work progress a lot more here in korea!!! It is an exciting time!!

Our investigators are doing well, and Berother Jwa is still on date for baptism! He is trying to quit smoking now, and is palnning on coming to cvhurch next week!!!

ALso last week i got tto go on ec\xchange in Seogwipo and play pingpong with a legendary guy named James bond... hahah it was fun!! Seogwipo is a really pretty place, and it reminded me a lot of Sacheon because it is countryside!! So it sorta felt like home to be there hahah

 Love you all!!

This week was super busy!!! It started with a fun pday which was us eating and playing games because it was sooo cold ㅠㅠ and at night we had family home evening at the church which was super fun!! Hahaha
This week we ate soooo much... on the 31st here in Korea Baskon Robbins has a really good sale on ice cream and since we had district meeting (pretty much zone meeting because our district is our zone) and on Wednesdays Krispy creme also has a really good deal so we ate tons of ice cream and donuts.. and then we ate a ton of food for lunch haha

And Thursday we had to take a plane to Busan ㅠㅠ we had exchanges with the APs and had a meeting on Friday so we spent the day in Busan. Friday we had MLCM at the headquarters. Afterwards President randomly took me and elder Lee to his house and gave us some super nice white shirts haha it was really random but the shirt is really nice haha. 

So this week was sooooooooooooooooooo freezing.... :( the wind is super super strong and it started snowing a ton hahaha Sunday was a soooooo freezing.... It has been snowing three days straight... and its supposed to snow the next three days straight as well.... The weird thing is is that it snows, but it is never below 0 degreees celsius... 0 degrees is the freezing point you know?? I cant understand it... hahahah Jeju people really werent prepared for it either hah today while we were walking to email, some guy was outside shoveling in front of his store with a dust pan... i will send a picture hahah, but we got some of the Mormon helping hands shirts when we went to Busan, and we are planning on wearing those tomorrow and going around shoveling for people!! There is no driveways so Idk exactly where we will shovel (or how we will shovel casue we have no shovels.... ㅎㅎㅎ) but that is the plan for tomorrow hahah.

So in Jeju we have a service project and we teach some kids a little English and then teach them a dance haha elder Lee is super good at dancing so he taught me and sister Oh Seohyeon how to dance so we could show it to the kids... haha it was fun I guess... hahaha later at night we went to a Filipino members house to do family home evening for her and for the activity we had to sing songs in a weird way.. so I had to sing I Am a Child of God in a baby voice.. haha and later me and my companion sang a Korean song as a duet.. 

Sadly one of our investigators with a baptismal date has his parents not wanting him to get pbaptized.. So he got sent to his grtandmas farm to do some work, but we are fasting and praying that his parents will soften their hearts!!! He will come back to Jeju next month so sadly we cant meet him for a while!! Our other investigator brotyher Jwa is still on date but becasue of the crazy weather he wasnt abel to make it to church!! But wee arent to worried becasue he is an awesome guy!! He is actually a referrall from a member here who is working super super hard at member missionary work!! He has been trying to find us tons of people to teach!! Just lst week he gave a book of mormon to his friend! I hope that I can do member missionary work like he does haha

So saturday we played soccer in the snow... it was super fun but so cold haha, and in half the picks I will send my hair will look suepr crazy because the wind like to do it for me hahaha I will send lots of pictures this week!!! haha Love and miss you all :)))))))))))

Ok so first off sorry I didnt email last week... haha I spent most the day in a bus and waiting at a subway station for some other missionaries! And then when i had time to use a computer I got pulled away becasue a couple of missionaries wanted to have a ping pong tournament.... sorry mommy... ;)

Anyways some crazy stuff happened in the last few weeks!! Sadly I transfered out of Sacheon after being there for 7 and a half months :(:(:( It was really sad to leave there casue I love all the people there and had so many close friends.. Being there for so long I feel like I wasnt really a missionary just a member in Sacheon branch haha. So the night before I left me nad elder Giles met with an investiagator who was a referall we receved from a less active member. We met him a coule days before and literally wlaked around all of Samcheonpo (where we lived) for a few hours talking about tons and tons of stuff. We later met on Sunday and he acceppted a baptismal date!!! Haha I was kinda sad to leave especially after getting a baptismal date.. but it is all in Gods timing!! So the big news is, I got transfered to Jeju to be a zone leader!! Which is the biggest island in korea, and you hacve to take a plane to get there!! I really like ridcing planes now haha.

Anyways this week was one of the best weeks i have had on my mission!! My new companion is elder Lee InYoung (Korean) and me nad him were already really tight befoere we became companions!! He is so funny aqnd sworks really hard so we are having lots of fun :) This past week we met with 2 investigators and extended baptismal dates to them, and they accepted it!! Go GyeongMin a freshamn in highschool gets baptised the next month on the tenth and Jwa GoMeong a 78 old year old man is on date for March 4th!!!! So awesome!! Jeju used to have 2 elder teams but because of the lack of elders right now its just me and elder Lee!! So with one less team we got sooooooo busy!!! WE are alwasy runnign from meeting to meeting haha it is great!!! So Jeju is a super cool place! in korea it is suposed to be teh warmest place, but I got here and there is snow and a nasty wind so idk what the people are talking about.... it is sooooo cold hahahaha.

The branch here in Jeju is super awesome!! there a ton of young single adults in this branch and when I first got here we had an activity with them so the first day I was able to get close4 with a bucnh of members!! There are like 5-6 members who jsut finished their missions as well so its super fun!! There is a sister missionary who just barely got home wh went to Daejon mission and we actually got to the MTC the same day haha so it was really cool to ask her how all my freinds in Daejon are doing!!! Teh branch president loves soccer so we play every sturday in the morning haha It was tons of fun but it made me so sore... hahaha

I am loving missonary work so much!! I am excited to see what happens this transfer in Jeju!!! Hope you all have a great week! Love you guys!!! <3 :)
