My Mission to Korea

REACHING GOALS

Me and Sister Cho have been working really hard together. Our area has little investigators and only one out of six is progressing. So this week we have been working hard to reach our goals, espeacially of getting lessons on the street.

This week we got a lesson on the street, three days in a row! So exciting. Sadly, all punk'd when Sunday came around...But that doesn't matter. We are showing our faith and diligence and trying to meet with everyone.  At the end of this week we got 6 lessons and 14 member visits. So we reached our goal of 20 lessons for the week.

Also, we set a higher contacting goal for the week, which we reached and went beyond. We contacted 156 people on the streets of Seoul this past week. Seems like a small number, but we talked to everyone, where ever we went, and met some crazies along the way.

One grandma we talked to sang to us the way people do in old Korean songs (which isn't pretty). The same lady told me I was fat. And she spends $80 dollars on her dog to get it's hair colored bright red on the ears and tail and permed. She explained to us how dogs are sooo expensive? Well, if you buy your dog cloths and style its hair like that...then of course it is lady. Anyways, she was fun to talk with.

Then we met our creepy man from last week again. He gave my companion a hug.LOL! He is really nice, but just a little off. He wanted to buy us dinner, but we had to get home. But I am sure we will see him again, because is was the third time in two weeks. Next time we will get his number and refer him to the Elders.

Last Friday we had a member call us about her upstairs neighbor. While in the elevator she complemented on our neighbor's heart-attacked door. She then explained to her about how the missionaries to that. So she gave us a call, then we came over and heart-attacked the neighbors door. We then knocked and introduced ourselves. She was so nice and invited us in, but we had another appointment and didn't. So we will go visit her again and hopefully have more time to share more about who we are and our church! So cool. We also got a really great refferal. So the Lord has been blessing us in so many ways as weve worked hard to find those prepared people.
