Ninety-Sixth Week Email

안녕하세요?
 
   Well hey there. That week seemed a little too fast. But last week had to have been one of the best so far. We didn't have a second to think and it was just amazing. And it's finally starting to feel like christmas around here.
 
   We have just been out and about meeting everybody we can. It's one of those times on my mission where our main plan takes about 3 minutes to plan everynight. We have just been really blessed lately and we really need to keep it going this week. We have had a really big focus lately on referrals lately and it finally came together this last week. Brother Iem our highschool student brought 4 of his friends to our lesson last week and we have seperate appointments with 3 of them now. And these have to be some of the funniest kids I have ever met. They kind of give me the feel of hipsters in a korean high school. But Brother Iem's parents have always encouraged him to find a religion for himself and everything has just been making sense to him for these past couple of weeks. We're really excited to meet with him this up coming week.
 
   I honestly can't explain really how this week was though. Everybody we have been meeting kept commitments and it feels like the commitment that we gave to each of them fit perfectly for this week. We would even get text from Brother Iem in the middle of the night again having a conversation with himself like he does occasionally. He gets excited and ask us a question about Nephi and then about 30 minutes later he will say nevermind and tell us his answer that he thought of. And for being so funny and non serious all of the time Brother Iem has some amazing questions.
 
   All of us missionaries also recieved phone calls this week from our favorite little 11 year old twins while they were at school and I personally had to talk to 10 elementary school students this week because Tim and Kevin wanted their friends to hear a "foreigner speak korean in a funny way." Still not sure how to take that but we are still meeting with our little family. We are just a little stuck still until we can meet with their Dad one of these days and talk about the boys coming out to church. Sister Kim their mom has to work on Sunday mornings but she still thinks that if her sons had a relgion it wouldn't be a bad thing. She also packs a back pack with a small pharmacy store incase one of us missionaries isn't feeling to well. She would honestly be perfect in the relief society.
 
    Another thing that was going on this week was our 20 minute role play visits with members. We have 5 family "investigators" in that program these days. And members still think it's pretty fun to give us everything they have when we go to meet them but we always leave by warning them that we will be inviting them to baptism next time we come.
 
 
    Well that was basically what is going on right now in Daejeon. We have a couple christmas parties this week and absolutely no time. So I'm really hoping we can just build on what we did last week and keep the momentum going right now. I really do love it here in Daejeon and I hope my family knows that I'm still getting picked on enough. My entire sunday school class thought it would be fun to talk about their last transfers of their missions in english.... just so we understood perfectly I guess. But I guess all that time with the old man and the siblings (I still survived my childhood) prepared me in a good way.
 
   Well I have to get going but I love all of you. Have a great week!
