A GOOD WEEK

This week I have had some funny experiences with grandmas, investigators and a creepy man on the street.

First on Tuesday we went and did some tracting on the street. I started talking to a Grandma waiting to cross the road. She notice I had some spilled sticky stuff on my jacket and freaked out. She was trying to help me clean and my coat and kept tapping my boobs where the sticky stuff was nearby. I just don't care anymore if old grandmas touch me. I tried to continue to share with her the message as we were walking across the street, but she was still so concerened with my jacket and was pulling out stuff to clean it with. At this point I realized me talking was pointless so I quickly said "bye" and ran back across the street. Then a couple days later another Grandma kept tapping and stroking my face telling me how pretty I was. It was very flattering, but also akward around a massive group of people.

That same day there was a homeless man dancing on the street. He was very happy. He sang loudly, had a big smile on his face and just kind of hopped around. Looked like an Indian Dance. He was great. On the way back to the church and man in his early 60s approaced me with his hand held out. I relectuantly took my hand out to shake his. [Only the werid men offer to shake your hand. Its not in the culture to shake a women's hand. Its werid if they do that here]. He asked where I was from and I replied, pointing to my American-Korean companion, we are from America. He saw my companion and forgot about me. He shook her had and just held it and kept asking her questions. He was just loving her. My companion manages to pull her hand away. And he ask for her number, but she lies and say we don't have a cellphone and then say goodbye. He takes her by the hand again and huggs her, or tries, because she is pulling away. He was so werid. It was her first creepy man experience.

Then on the bus to district meeting another day, we were late and were stuck waiting for the bus to leave. We waited for 15 mintues and during this time the bus driver had us to a color test. It was amusing. Not sure exactly what went on, but according the combination of colors describes what you are feeling. It wasn't very accurate, but he is trying to hewn his craft...apparently. So many funny, amusing things happen on the streets of Seoul. I love it!

Thursday we met an investigator. She is AMAZING. Right now her sister is meeting missionaries in another area. For her committment she read the First Chapter of 1 Nephi. When we discussed it she had a sticky note of questions. She really studied the chapter and asked us "Where is Lehi's story? His son says he will start his account, but the Dad had a vision. Isn't that important." And "Why were the people in Jerusalem so wicked." "What about Africa and Asia. Are there other books like the Book of Mormon?" Her questions just blew our mind away and we were able to answer them. She has real intent. Its so amazing and a huge blessing to get to teach her.
