Hey Everyone!
It would seem that each week I get less and less time to talk to you, but that's okay, I'm not too upset about it. I hope you aren't either, and if you are, I apologize, but there's not too much that I can do about it. Sorry... This week has been long, but good nonetheless!
Last monday we did not have P-day as it was a temple week, but it was still a good day. Everyday is a good day. What am I talking about? I ended up consuming probably somewhere along the lines of like 4 or 5000 calories that day. Also I didn't pay for any of that food. Unhealthy? maybe, but in Korea if you want people to like you, you have to eat a ton of food. Actually the guy who took us to lunch last monday took the sisters out to this buffet on friday, and he said that they didn't eat that much. Can't say I blame them, but I do try and eat a ton of food around members. You kinda have to if you want them to trust you. If you don't eat a ton of food, it means that you hate them more or less. Moral of the story, in Korea, eat a lot of food.
Tuesday we started the day with two appointments, and both of them cancelled, and we ended up meeting someone else instead which went pretty well, however this saturday, that convert said that he won't be able to attend church until march because he has to study for a test.-_- Needless to say, I was not too pleased with that, but what can you do? You tell him that he is not entitled to blessings if he doesn't come to church! That's what you can do! He said he would come to church, but nonetheless did not. This recent convert frustrates me to no end. Golden investigator. not golden recent convert. Frustrating.
Wednesday, the mission President came to our house at about 9 in the morning because he was planning to proselyte with our roommates. We stuck around just long enough to say hi because I had to leave for district leader counsel that day, but it was still cool to have the mission president in your house. Needless to say a bunch of cleaning was done the night before.
Thursday we had temple day, which was super awesome. It was my current zone and my previous zone, so more or less the balance of all my friends within the mission. Super fun day. Lot's of funny discussions had after the session when we were kind of just hanging out outside. That was our pday and we went to the stake center and played volleyball for a while. That was super fun, but let me assure you that there are certainly a fair patch of missionaries that are not athletic... not at all... Still really enjoyed volleyball though!!!
We had to leave a little early because we had 2 appointments that both didnt' show up. SOoooooo frustrating. NO ONE LOVES ME!!!! =((((((((((((((((((( It's okay. Eventually someone will meet with us.
Saturday I went to my first wedding in Korea, and it was legit!!!!! So cool. SOOOOO MUCH FOOD. Well I guess I should correct that statement, I went to where a wedding was being held and ate. Didn't really do much with regard to the wedding. It was a ward member, but another ward member took us away pretty early on and was just like "lets eat" and so we did, and then we had to go to the church to help plan for the christmas party where we ate more. I eat a lot... Don't know how I feel about that really. Actually I do, I feel like it's great! Cause it makes ward members like me which means they reffer their friends theoretically right? IF so then YAYY!!
Sunday was cool. ish. We had like 3 people who had said that they would be at church not come. Frustrating again, but whatever. What can you do?
After church, we met with this guy from India and had just about the best lesson of my life. THe guy wants to know the truth about life and where he can turn for peace and such. He was very satisfied at the end of the lesson and I know he felt the spirit. Unfortunately he moves back to India tomorrow, so we won't be able to continue to teach him in the coming weeks, but I know we made an impact on his life, and I'm excited for him to return home with his wife and start his own family. He's a very good man, and very close to finding the living water in Christ. I'm glad that I had a chance to participate in his journey.
So I'm out of time, but I love you all and keep being awesome!
