Befriend ALL THE COPS!!!!

PS I don't understand why this email is formatting weird. So so sorry...


Hey everybody!!!!

Wow, my email got super blown up this week!  You guys are all super awesome! Thanks a bunch for sharing your love and everything!   This week has been jampacked with awesomeness!  well after wednesday at least.  Kinda busy with everything in the whole entire world!!!!
So sisters came to our area this week.  That puts the total of missionaries in our area  to 6.  6 missionaries in one ward!  How cool is that!?!?!  We're working hard and have some awesome missionaries here.  Things are going to happen.  The sisters did however have some troubles with their new house which made it kind of... interesting?  There house was insanely dirty when we helped to bring in all the furniture and stuff about a week and a half ago.  We had intended to clean it up for them but due to a very confusing series of events we never got the key, and thus it was still dirty when they moved in, the fridge didn't work, their washing machine won't hook up with the water lines, and my companion and I put their closet racks together wrong.  We fixed what we could, and got a new fridge, so now it's a little better, but there's still some other problems.  Kinda a bummer, but it'll become home for them soon enough.
Thursday, we referred them some of our female investigators, so that will hopefully work well for them.  Both of the 2 we gave them are somewhat crazy so that will be fun.  Not sure exactly where either of those experiences could go, but who knows, maybe some people will score salvation from it.
Friday, we got to go on like a police ride along with some of the guys from the local police department.  One of them is an investigator, and there's this other guy who used to kinda almost be an investigator.  They're all super nice.  This one guy plays guitar and kept on humming the theme to Mr.  Crowley by Ozzy Osborne.  That was kinda funny.  Dude was convinced that I need to drink with him.  Not down.  Oh yeah,  crime in Korea is like entirely nonexistent.  Sure they illegally download stuff all the time, but that's it.  I've only seen someone get pulled over twice, and the only thing they did when we were in their car was pick up some recycling bags that had fallen off a garbage truck.  Still super fun though!
Other crazy experience.  So there's this game old guys play a lot in Korea called 장기 (jang-gi) and there's this park where a bunch of old guys play it all the time.  I'll be the first to tell you that I'm not very good at games like this or chess.  By the way it's kinda like Korean chess.  anyways, yeah so not very good, these old guys go crazy!  I bet you could imagine where this story is going.  I BEAT THE OLD GUY AT 장기.   I'd be willing to bet I'm the first foreigner they've ever seen play that game and know what to do at all, let along beat the guy who's like the reigning champion there!  I'm a beast.  All there is to be said.  Or it has to do with the fact that I probably shouldn't have won, and won more or less by a silly mistake on his part.  That's entirely possibility though!  Actually I didn't even know I won until my companion told me like 2 minutes later.  That was kind of funny.
Super awesome church experience!  This one guy that had been active about two months ago, and then started drifting pretty hard came back to church again!!  Made me especially happy since I'm one of his best friends in the ward.  Kid is so funny.  I don't know why he likes me, but we get along pretty well.  It was kind of a pick me up considering we had no investigators who came to church, but I did help to bring someone back from somewhat inactivity!
Sorry again, I'm kind of out of time, but maybe one day I'll answer questions or something.  Anyone who I haven't addressed directly, HEY!  Also, What the heck, I'm like past a year or something?!?!  Sad face.
bye!!!
