So life is just swell in Gwangyang 광양. It's really starting to cool down at nights and we have been meeting so many amazing new people lately. We have also been traveling a lot for combined district meetings, zone conferences, and district activities so it has been really fun. Also i think Elder Clyde and I finally found our stride working in Gwangyang. We have the buses figured out and have really been starting to be able to get around a lot more effectively instead of missing our buses and taking taxis haha.
Well not a whole lot happened this week. We spent a couple hours of each day knocking on doors and that always makes for some good stories. We also spent a lot of time yesterday with our Branch President and his wife taking the sacrament to sick members, and visiting members. It's always super fun because they treat us like family members. When we go to their house they feed us just like they feed their kids with japhaghetti (It's like top ramen but with a bean paste type sauce which is delicious and super cheap) and when we visit member's we listen to them argue with eachother in the funniest ways about doctrine or missionary rules. And they really just treat us like member's of their family and it's probably one of the coolest feelings when you are on the other side of the world with a language barrier haha. But when I see how amazing their family is and how much they love the gospel it really shows me what the gospel can do for anyone.
Another cool thing that happened this week is we started teaching a family of three. When we met the father at the grocery store he was very excited to talk to us in english. He started asking about what we teach as missionary's and told us why he stopped attending his church because through his study he learned something about the second coming that wasn't in line with what his religion was teaching at the time. We shared a quick message about our beliefs and they matched what he had learned. He was fine with meeting again and when we did we came to learn that he and his wife were actually Jehovah Witness's. We didn't really ask him why he had said those things before but they took us to a nice cafe and we just talked about the plan of salvation. It was a very intense conversation at times but by the end of the meeting he just thanked us for being so nice and patient. They actually invited us to their house this week to learn more about the Book of Mormon and how it works with the Bible and I think all of you know how much I love the Book of Mormon, so I'm just excited to meet with them again. They are such a nice family and He is a really fun guy to talk with.
But yeah not a whole lot happened this week so sorry. I love all of you and I hope all of you have an amazing week.
