My Mission to Korea

ANOTHER WEEK

Nothing exciting has happened this past week. Yesterday was one of Korea's big holidays. But even though it is a big holiday, it doesn't feel like anything compared to how America does holidays. In America people go all out with decorations and sales. Maybe it is a little over the top, but I love it and miss it. In Korea they sell this fansy packages of fruit or canned tuna and their is a significant less amount of people on the streets of Seoul.

Also, yesterday we has a combined zone conference. It started at 9am, but me and my companion didn't arrive there until 9:45! We had to transfer trains and somehow we missed our stop. It was only two stations after the transfer, but we went six stations beyond our stop until we realized it. I was checking on our phone to see how much londer we had left. It said 7 minutes. Then a little while later I checked it again and it said 10minutes. We like "crap", because it was already 9am! So we had to get turned around and finally when we got to the stop we got lost trying to find the church because thier were 8 exits to choose from and we had only been to that church once before. It was embarrassing. Our zone leaders texted us "Where are you?" We called them and they told us how to get to the church. After conference we had P-Day till 9pm! So pretty much everyone just hung our, played games and talked. It was fun.

So today I made my companion cry a little during companionship study. She is not passed off so we were doing pass-off practice. And while she taught I ekpt on asking quesionts about everything, just micking people we teach and she got so frustrated and was like "Really?" Then she broke into tears and started saying "I can't teach. I can't speak Korean." My poor companioin gets easily stressed and has no confidence in her abilities. We talked it out and she is fine now. Just kind of funny, cause it happens like once a week. But she is fun and a great missionary, just easily overwhelmed. Poor thing. She told me I am way harder to role play then with District, Zone Leaders and the AP's who she has to pass-off. Ooops! LOL.

Well...today is freezing. So i can't say that i am excited to proselyete. Aah!!! Why does it have to be so cold? Oh that reminds me, we had a cool experience on the train home yesterday from combined zone conference. We are sitting and this guy standing next to us is kind of staring. So I make my Book of Mormon more visible, becaue we aren't aloud to talk to men, unless they say somehting to us first. So eventually he ask "Do you know Lee GeeMin?" He was our old AP. We said, "Yes..." We start talking to him and find out he met with the missionaries almost two years ago, but moved and lost contact. He wants to come to church and start meeting with the misionaries again. So we got his number and will refer to that areas Elders. Its really cool to see how the Lord accomplish his work. Out of all the 25 million people living in Seoul, he stood next to us on the train! Think about it. So cool.
