Hey Everybody!!!
This week as always has been pretty awesome. Elder Thompson got sick on wednesday, and had a bit of a fever for a little while, but it broke after he took a quick nap during our dinner time, so it didn't slow us down too much! It's funny whenever your companion is sick as a missionary, your first reaction is always "do you need some rest?" but when you are sick as a missionary it's more like "NO I DON'T NEED REST! I'LL REST WHEN I DIE (go home)!" I'm a fan of that mentality, even when it may not be the more wise choice to make.
Pday last week was fun, we played soccer and I enjoyed it. I got a wicked big blister on my toe from my cleats cause I hadn't worn them in a long time. No big deal. It didn't really get in the way of missionary work at all, just looked kind of funny.
Tuesday we had a super cool experience. When planning for tuesday, we had a ton of time to just go talk to people, which can get monotonous, so we wrote down in our planners that at 2, 3, and 4 there would be miracles. At 2, we met these two guys that were pretty nice and said they might meet later, but the cool one happened at 3. We were just out talking to people and we started talking to this one guy, and he said "hey want to come over to my house? I'll give you something to drink" So we did, and he gave us this stuff called 미술가루 (mi-sul ka-roo) which is pretty tasty. The cool part is that he wants us to visit and teach him about the gospel pretty often! Super Fun. Guy is a serious alcoholic, but that's okay, still super nice. We left his house like right at 4, and I don't quite remember perfectly, but I'm pretty sure within like 5 minutes we got another guys phone number too.
Wednesday we had district meeting which was good. There's this one Elder, Elder Chow, and he's a boss. Handles his district like a champ. Super good district meeting, and was really focused on the needs of his district. We met this one investigator that day who has been... fun lately. Loves smoking, and always gives us stuff. He finally didn't bring up smoking in a lesson, and we taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with hopes that he could apply it and kind of turn his life around a little bit.
Thursday was frustrating, we had like 5 appointments and legitimately only one of them actually happened BUT! It was our investigator who has a baptismal date, and it went well. He's soooooo close, just needs a little more testimony of Joseph Smith and prophets, and he's good.
Friday, we met this guy that's super nice and wants to take us to this steak house in the future. I thought I was done with steak houses when I left Gangnam, but I was mistaken. That's okay thought, there certainly are bigger problems in the world.
Saturday was good. A ton more of talking to people on the street and then we had English class. I got to teach the basic class again, which is my favorite because this guy that's about to be our investigator starting next week is like the only one who comes, and he is super open to the gospel. He came to general conference, and is super willing to pray like every week in English class. He's the man!
Sunday, also Easter, was awesome. There was a baptismal service, and President Morrise and his wife came. Also, I was chosen to play accompaniment for a special musical number. Not on piano, on guitar. I'm not even close to the best pianist around. It was good though. Everybody always says that it was good. I don't think I've ever been told anything other than good job for something performed in a church meeting. Also, I counted, and I've only done 2 public performances not as a missionary, one being in elementary school when me and logan played go tell aunt rhodey for a talent show, and the other being at college when I played guitar for the talent show with my friend Carter. On my mission, I have performed I think 6 times now. 2 chrismas parties, 2 baptisms, 1 mission conference, and 1 fireside for a ward. I still haven't gotten any less nervous when I play in front of people. Lamez. Oh well, there are other things that I'm better at.
This week was super awesome. Loved it.
Korean for the week.
