This was another great week in Korea. I need to find another way to start my e-mails off but I guess that isn't a bad way to start it off. Anyways we had a pretty great week in Jeonju as always. I just love this city so much and it's just been so great to be here. I realized I came here the beginning of December last year and the time has just flown by now. But don't worry I still tell President Furniss in my weekly e-mails that I'm so happy that I can finish my mission in Jungang ward. I'm really hoping the subtle hints work like they did when we wanted to turn into a four man house.
Anyways I had a really neat experience last night with one of our friends Brother Shin. We hadn't been able to meet with Brother Shin since the first time we met him the downtown shopping area and he met every missionary in our district, our other investigator, and two of our members all at one time haha. I was hoping that wasn't super overwhelming for him but it turned out pretty fun. Well we met Brother Shin last night and he's just so much fun. He's in highschool but he's been training to become a professional Thaikwaendo (I have no idea how to spell that in english) fighter. He trains six days a week and it's been hard to find a time to meet with him but we were able to somehow find a time to meet between both of our schedules last night. And the lesson was just amazing. I have done that same lesson so many times but it always seems to be so different. Just seeing how one person can so easily accept the message of the restoration and others it does take time. But I think the most amazing thing was to see Brother Shin come in and tell us about what he's been reading in the Book of Mormon and how he takes it to practice with him and tells his friends. We watched the restoration movie last night and he said that he had read about all of that at the front of the Book of Mormon already and we just talked about it. It was so great and when we went to give him his commitment he seemed just ready. It just makes me want to go back in time when I was in high school and hit myself on the side of my head haha. Brother Shin just seems a million times more mature than me when I was his age and it's been really nice just being able to meet with him. And for everybody who has ever been on a mission some of the sweetest moments are when your investigator prays for the first time. Brother Shin had only prayed once before in his life and by the time he finished it seemed like he had been praying for years. I'm excited to see the relationship I can build with Brother Shin and to see how much he can grow from everything he's doing right now.
Well sorry this letter is short this week but I have to get going. I love all of you so much and I hope all of you have an amazing week. I know that I will! Love you!
