So this week has been, a bit of a roller coaster. Not too sure how you guys are doing, but I'm good as ever pretty much.
So last monday we went screen golfing again. Soooooo fun!! Fun story actually. So this screen golf thing is pretty immersive. You can decided how big you want the gimme distance to be, how many mulligans you want, what tees you play from, a bunch of different courses, tee height, so much stuff. My companion thought that one of the settings was ball color because it's default setting is white. His favorite color is red, so he decided to set his color to red. Those of you who are particularly familiar with golf may know where this is going already. Yes, my companion did in fact play from the woman's tees. Kinda lame. I played from the gold tees, which if I remember correctly are the masters tees? anyways farthest possible from the whole. Pretty much every single hole my companion was at least 100m (not yards) closer to the pin before we even hit a ball. Needless to say he caught a whole ton of crap for that. He did win though, so I guess I don't have room to talk. Those of you who are curious, the Taylor Made Burner series isn't even that great. Sure it adds a whole 25m to like every single hit, but who even wants that anyways? Also, Brother Evans, according to screen golf I can hit the ball straight now! Don't worry my slice will be back in no time.
Tuesday we had this thing called 12 week follow up training which is for the new missionaries and their trainers. In missionary work right now, there's what's called the 12 week in field training program and it's supposed to help missionaries get more acquainted with every phase of missionary work early on. I think it's more effective for people who don't have to learn Korean, but hey most of our investigators speak English anyways. That was fun. Legitimately the first one that I have enjoyed. It was my 3rd time going to that having trained twice and being trained myself. Super cool this time.
Oh yeah, I forgot that this week we had transfer calls. Not like it matters, nothing is changing. still in 안양, still training Elder Webber, still District Leader, both the zone leaders are staying. At first I was super mad that I was staying because that will put me at 6 transfers here. Two of those transfers were shorter than average but to put that in perspective, it's about 8 months. Long time in one area. Also since I haven't really done much that is very outwardly visible, it's like "what did I do wrong or what do I have to do to leaver this place?!?!?!" I'm still going to work hard obviously though. Things are going down this transfer!!!!!
So we met this new investigator on thursday, incidentally does NOT speak english just for Irony's sake. She wants to learn English, and apparently the gospel too. We had appointments to meet prior, but we had to cancel them, and because she gave us bad directions, not to mention a bit of a language barrier, we were late on this week too. Lady straight up told me to repent. It was the first time I've been told to repent. Never been told by preachers, other church's missionaries, other various clergy, but I got told by a dance academy instructor who doesn't even go to church, to repent. One might imagine it was difficult to keep from laughing. Right now remembering it makes me frustrated, but I almost laughed super hard when she said that. She said hurricane like weather wasn't a good excuse to not make an appointment. Lady, I spend half my time in this country waiting for people to show up to appointments and they don't show, you're gonna lecture me on lame excuses? Sorry, I don't mean to complain, but I'm not very quick to accept people telling me to repent, that aren't necessarily aware of the whole situation, or in a position in which to do so, but I'll repent just to be sure.
Our best investigator hurt himself so we can't meet him for a little while, but if you could pray for him in some way that would be appreciated. He's gonna get baptized! He just doesn't know it yet! Well actually he probably does know now that I think about it. I'm gonna dunk him so hard his stains are just gonna fall right off!
Today we are going bowling for a zone activity and it's going to be super fun!!! Wish you could join us! Miss you all and stay awesome!
수고하세요~!!!( work hard- especially you other missionaries^^)
