My Mission to Korea

WEEK THREE IN KOREA

Well, I still barely know any Korean. But good news, my English is getting worse, so my Korean must be getting better. Yesterday was refreshing because we shared a message with a member who spoke English. And she tends to talk to missionaries in English, so it was so nice to get to know her and understand what was going on.

Korea is being hit by a typhoon at the moment. It's not bad, just always raining and my feet are never dry. But it's still warm weather, so I am not cold and miserable, just wet. But we are not even into the rainy season yet. It's sounds like we get more rain than we do now and it feels like a sauna...I can't wait.

Exciting missionary news, we got a baptism set up for July 10th, little girl named 刮促后 (min-da-bin). She is 8 years old and has been taking english classes form the missionaries for a year now. She's really goo at it. She lives with her grandma and grandpa who both are Buddist. Her grandmother loves the church and consented fro 刮促后 to get baptized. So exciting. Everyone in our ward loves this little girl and has truly embraced her. She has so many friends and loves coming to church. With the great support system she has now, she will continue to remain active in the church.

Other exciting news, we picked up two new investiagtors this week. One gril is 26 years old and is working on getting her masters. She is looking for another church, didn't like her old one very much. Her mom's best friend is a Mormon and reffered her to us. She came last Sunday for all three hours plus the linger longer with her Mom's friend. Then we met her this past Wednesday and talked about God and introduced the Book of Mormon. She's very quiet and hard to read, but she wants to meet again so thats good.

Our other new investiagor is  傍家捞 .  She is 17 years old. We meet her through street contacting. She's the very first person I gave a Book of Mormon too. And Sister Jung got an appointment with her, which initially fell through, but she's been wanting to meet and Saturday we were able to. She had a break in her busy schedule. We talked about God, got to know her and religious background and talked about the Book of Mormon. It was good. The next day she even came to part of church, which she liked. There are lots of youth her age and that really appealed to her. Not sure when she can meet again, but hopefully soon. Interesting thing about her is she does gun shooting competitions. It's cool because no one in Korea owns a gun. It's super safe here. It's pretty awesome. I am learning gun vocabulary so I can ask her more questions about it. I forget who I was talking to, a member I think, and we were talking about America and thier guns and I said my Grandma has a gun...lol...her reaction was so funny.
