Yeah, this is one of the few times I'm behind. We haven't had Conference yet. Next week. But I'm looking forward to it!!
It's
so awesome! So, basically it gets translated and sent as a DVD to each
of the stakes here, we watch it together. So next week we'll be at the
stake center, inviting investigators, you know the drill. Gotta remember
to bring some ice cream. The 30cent ice cream here is the best...
Anyway, I've got a fun companion. Kind of a combination
between Joe and Andrew. Math Genius, always working on these ideas for
functions and what not, he's seen a lot of things I have, he knows about
XKCD even (that's for you Joe) But it's fun. When we have down time
it's fun to talk about ideas. Story and plot ideas, Andrew knows about
my MtG (Magic the Gathering) spinnoff idea I kind of shelfed a while ago, but we've had a
couple good conversations coming up with ideas for that.
But to be honest, we've been kind of busy. Lots of
phone calls, lots of first meetings. We've met so many awesome people on
the street... Hard to keep up. Thank goodness for Elder Park. My
trainer was a pro at this. I didn't get it then, but I'm starting to see
how he did it. Priorities...
Anyway, lot's of practice with first meetings. Super
hard. Setting expectations isn't easy, especially in another language. I
always had a Korean before. They made it comfortable at least, but here
it's a little different. Lot's of practice.
Awesome people, no time to talk about all of them. But I wish I could.
GENERAL
CONFERENCE! I'm so excited. But as for personal study and everything,
yet again the Lord shows His hand. If you want to know what I'm doing
here, follow our family scripture study. Almost every chapter I've seen
something that's applied. Patience a while back, faith, and now Ammon
and the gang showing us how HBT is done. Crazy. And I've found so many
great scriptures for investigators from FSS (Family Scripture Study).
Love it.
But There's something I
have to say that I don't think a few people will like. I've been
starting to think a lot, and I'm starting to be able to see myself come
back here in a couple years. Do some school, then come here to teach English and pay off some student loans, explore, study a little more.
From the sounds of it, it pays really well, especially if you have the
right degree and can speak Korean on top of it. It's.... tempting. But
It'd be hard to be from home again. I'd have to find a way to visit. But
that doesn't matter. Right now I'm a missionary. That stuff will all
fall into place later. It's not what I need to focus on.
Fun fact, I'm now faster at texting in Korean than English. Their keypad is So much better...
Yep,
love you guys. I promise I'll try to write more. Haven't had much
chance lately. Didn't get a letter sent last week... Sorry. I need a bus
where I don't have a list of people I need to call...
Anyway, that's it for now. Gotta go. Might be taking a trip up to that Buddhist temple again.
Love you!
