Eighty-Fourth Week Email

Well that was a full week. It was the thanksgiving week here in Korea. It's called Choosuk 추석 and we spent all week with other missionaries and members. I didn't meet one of our investigators last week haha but that's what it was like last year at this time. But we were able to meet a new family this week and I already love them. It's a father, mother, two twin boys, and a baby boy. And the twin boys are 11 (9 in real age) and are so great at english haha. They have english names of tim and kevin and it's just absolutely crazy/perfect when we teach them english haha. They are so funny and they were begging their parents to not send us away when we left. The Father isn't the biggest fan of religion but we are just planning on taking it really slowly. And the mother just seems like a member already. She's so nice and they showed up for a meeting at the church and she was just out in the parking lot talking to a member like they were friends. We're really excited to meet with them this upcoming week.

   We also spent some time with Brother Kim who we have been working with a lot for the past couple of weeks. He took us up hiking last p-day and it was pretty fun. It was never ending stairs but once we got to the top we could see all of Daejeon. We're actually planning on going up there today with the District for an activity. But it was a great time to talk about Brother Kim's conversion story and what has been going on in his life. It turned out to be just really good time to get to know eachother and he told us when ever we want to go on mondays we could go hiking with him.

   We also had just meeting after meeting this last week but now we can get out and just work. We spent our time inside all day last wednesday, thursday, and friday. At first I thought it would be a nice time to rest up but being inside as a missionary is probably the worst thing haha. Well sorry not a whole lot happened this week but I'm excited to see what's going to happen this week. I love all of you and I hope you have a great week.

So the first picture is of us going up the "never ending staircase". The second was a food called Kimbap. I couldn't even finish my first one on the bus ride from the airport to Daejeon when I came to Korea. Now I love them. And the last picture is of us going down the "never ending stairs". (much easier)
