Week 67 - It's official


Well, It's now an official change for us. We no longer have President
Lee, but President Christensen. He seems ok for... now. I'm not
comfortable about the idea of someone new being here. It still seems
unreal to me. However it is much easier to understand what he is
saying.
 
   So we've been keeping busy so far, but there seems to be this
reoccurring theme in the work we have here. That is, there is either
too much to do in one day, so we are overwhelmed or there is a nothing
to do, so we get stuck walk outside all day long. I guess it's good 
for us in some way. Like finding others to teach and sharing the gospel 
or it's good for our health. Because as of now, out of those we are
meeting with, only two seem to be going anywhere. And even then it's 
that we still a struggle to get them to calm down and listening to our 
message. Like this Saturday, when we meet sister 이영란 (Lee Young Rahn), 
our newest investigator. She seems like she is very curious about the 
gospel, but has no desire to admit it. I believe that right now she 
feels like she can't trust any church because of past experiences that 
she encountered with other groups. Her questions are so deep and well 
thought out, but she hasn't really given us much time to answer them. 
Most of them seem to be trying to prove that there is something wrong 
with religions. Like "How can this be our only chance? It doesn't seem 
fair that this is the only way there is to be saved, when so many people 
do not know about it..." That was the best translation that I could come 
up with, but the point she was making was about her mother. And she didn't 
have the chance in this life to be baptized. It was a hard lesson to teach. 
Our poor member the whole time was explaining to her brief things here 
and there. Then said," If you would listen to the missionaries you would 
learn more..." But it was alright in the end. And we are meeting again, 
later tonight. So I hope it goes better this time around.
 
   So this week has been fairly regular and there were not as many
changes that have happened lately. I can’t wait until summer is over.
It's been quite warm and unpleasant out this week. We've tried to keep
indoors as much as possible. However it hasn’t rained very much so
everything has been dry. In all everything has been good and I really
don’t have anything to complain about. But I was excited to read your
email. I hope that you are happy, and at the least... I’m happy for you. 
It doesn't seem like much but a good thing is a good thing.
Well I love you.

Bye...
