Week 69 - Keepin busy

It's seems that there is a lot that is going on back there. 

It's just going to be a test of patients. As for Hannelle, 

that is a totally different story... Right now it's hard for 

me to understand the fear you have especially since I'm staying 

in Korea. I've gotten the sense that it’s safe even for a three 

year old child to run around the streets unsupervised. People 

here and people there are so different; I still can't believe 

what kinds of things go on. Anyway~ I hope that it works out 

for you two. And for Rhylie... just keep strong and do what 

you do, She'll still be that little airhead we all know.

  
   So for me.... This week has tried my patience and my strength. 

Out of all of appointments, we only had two come through. The 

first was the most difficult due to misunderstanding. We had 

finished our lesson with a sister Kim Bow Ryoung (김보령). And My 

companion had the thought to ask her about baptism. In our mission 

we call it a soft baptismal question. So he said," Sister Kim Bow 

Ryoung if and when you come to know that our message is true, will 

you be baptized". At that point she flipped out and went on how 

this was not what she was expecting nor what she came for. That 

she was happy with her religion and did not want to change. 

~I still can't figure out, how people think that they are getting 

something for nothing. Nor can I understand what they think when 

they find out that TWO MISSIONARIES are going to be teaching 

english. You'd think that they would understand that the first
priority of the missionary is to teach the gospel then serve the
people. Not the other way around...~ thankfully we had a wonderful
member there, our ward... mission... leader?, Who calmed her down 

and got to the point. That we were missionaries but were not 

forcing her to change but that she should try for herself and see 

if what we shared is not true. It seemed that she was alright with 

meeting again and that she would try to have an open mind. We are 

now waiting to see if she'll meet us tomorrow.
 
   Also this week we meet a new person in our english class. He 

has come in the past but this is the first time we've both seen 

him. He seems to be an upright person but doesn't take the gospel 

for anything but educational or a sort of hobby. But he's much 

more open to it then those who come normally. The strange thing 

was, he was the only one to show up this week. And as for sister 

Lee Young Rhan, she was sick Friday so she had to cancel this week. 

So nothing new with her. 

   This is so hard... I didn't realize how much work it would be. 

I'm thankful for this opportunity and blessing. I just hope I can 

stay awake for the Quarter or so. I love you so much and hope that 

things work out for you at home.
 
Bye...
