Week 30 - Newest News

This week was ok. We went on splits or exchanges Wednesday; I was with an Elder Christensen who was Elder 's companion before me. It was a crazy day. We had service at dream start, we teach english to small children, and it was out of control. I didn't know how to talk to them and Elder Christensen had no idea what we were suppose to do. Screaming children running everywhere. However, the rest of the day was more relaxing. We had an appointment scheduled for seven, which normally takes up the whole night since it is so far away from where we live. I guess the saddest thing is that they dropped us all together. We knew that it was going to happen at some time. We just didn't know when they would. The whole story is funny to a point. Their main interest was for their little girl to learn english. She was hard to teach since she didn't even want to learn English at all. So she made no progress with us. During this time we were looking through old investigators and calling to see if they had any interest. One of the names was 김미숙, kim mee suk. She is a teacher of an English program for after school learning. She's meet the missionaries before so she knew about us teaching english. She wanted us to teach or help her with her english. She feels like she is losing her ability to speak english. So we meet one day to explain what the 30/30 program was. It was then when we found out that 손태영, the little girl’s mother, had enrolled her in 김미숙's English program that same day. Sad but funny, we are now teaching the teacher who is teaching 손태영's daughter. Okay, with them canceled we went with the back up plan. Which was searching for former investigators. It was tough looking for people I had never seen before and hoping that by chance they would be there. The first man was in the weirdest place to find. Unlike the others which had the location of their home, he had the location of the pharmacy he worked at. After much time we finally located where it should be. We searched and searched but no matter where we were, it was the wrong area. It wasn't until the third time we past when we realized that area we were in was smaller than it looked. Even though it seemed like we spent too much time looking for it, it turned out to be a blessing. With in that time we meet two kids at two different times. They were the coolest kids I've meet so far. They both listened to what we had to say and they agreed to meet again. They also both asked for a copy of the Book of Mormon. We were going to meet one yesterday but, we didn't have time. Luckily he also had some unplanned thing that came up so we are meeting this week. Oh, as for that kid we meet before... nothing. We tried to call and text him but, we receive no answer. Hopefully we can meet later.

I'm not passed off yet. This is the hardest point for all missionaries... Getting an appointment with the AP's.  Plus the Zone leaders didn't have time to finish the test with them. But on the other hand, the 박시온 got baptized. It was great. What I heard was that he felt so bad that he missed church that he quit his part time job. Wow, that was amazing now we need his father to follow his example.

Well mom how are you? It sounds like the house is almost ready and you can move in soon. It’s nice that things seem to be getting along at the house. I love you mom and I miss you too. Hope that the house is everything that you expected.

Love you,
