Catching up: September 24 - October 15

September 24, 2017

Pretty average week. Don't have too many investigators right now so we do a lot of proselyting. One of the only meetings we had this week was yesterday after church with our friend Chang. He is a Chinese guy that moved here a little bit ago and can't speak any Korean. He ordered some beef from America and barbecued it at his house for us. We had a great time but he was really confused why we wouldn't drink with him. The word of wisdom is definitely going to be the hardest part for him.

Besides that not too much else going on. We haven't heard any more threats from North Korea lately but then again we don't really hear anything. Hope ya'll have a great week.

Pretty good week. We got to gone down to a baptism In Yoengdo with one of our investigators which was really cool. Our investigator has known the missionaries ever since he was a little kid and that was the first baptism he has ever been to. And he said he really liked it. The person getting baptized was a members boyfriend and we also got to go to their wedding the next day. They just had it in the chapel and it was very simple. During the ceremony all the old ladies were preparing the food in the back of the room so it was really loud.

Elder haskell and I got kicked out of our house for two days for remodeling but our apartment looks really good now. Not too much else goin on around here. We are all excited to listen to general conference next week. And also next week is a big Korean holiday so we will be getting together as a mission. hope you all have a great week.

This week was good. It was general conference week and also a huge Korean holiday week. On Thursday every district in the mission was instructed to go to a museum in our areas. We also had to find certain people and take pictures with them.

On Wednesday the mission got together to do a huge sports day. We played soccer and did relay races. It was nice because it was like the first time I had run in a few months. Then we played one ball dodge ball which was pretty fun.

Elder Haskell and I just watched General Conference at the church by ourselves. Except for Wunday we watched it with the ward. Actually they watched it up stairs in Korean and we watched it downstairs by ourselves again.

Its always really cool to watch General Conference as a missionary. And also a lot easier to stay awake. Every thing here is going great. I hope you all have a great week.

Pretty interesting week. We met Iron Man again and he took us out for some lunch. He had to come check up on me and make sure I was doing my part as Black Panther.

Elder Haskell and I sat at the immigration office for like three hours to get our visa extended since we have been here for a year. I went well though. Except for when we tried to walk out the rotating doors and Elder Haskell got stuck in between and the whole building saw it.

Yesterday we had a social media meeting with the Busan youth and young single adults. They announced to all the missionaries that we will be getting smart phones in the next month or two so we were being trained on social media missionary work too. They had all the missionaries help the members but they knew how to work the phone a lot better than we do. It should be really helpful to get the smart phones since all of Korea runs off of them.

They taught us a new term yesterday at the meeting which is smombie, smart phone zombie. Which was funny because we get run into on the street about five times a day by smombies.

Hope ya'll have a great week.
