Dear home,
I'm glad I have a loving, patient
mission president. I just spent about 40 minutes typing a letter for him
in Korean, then the computer was silly and left the screen without
saving anything, so I had to retype it in English...
Anyway, I'm sure he'll understand. But I hate not
having time, a seemingly unchanging situation here. I don't know how
Elder Lee is writing so much. Korean takes a bit longer, sure, and I
keep getting texts interrupting, but still...
Sorry. I know you guys look forward to these, such as
they are. Just know, this week was crazy. We got a ton of referrals from
our investigators, met a ton of cool people, to the point that we're
continually losing our study time. Too many appointments. It's gotten
bad enough that I brought it up with President. He just said to use my
best judgement. Great advice, hard to put in practice.
I guess there's been a lot of stress lately. More
investigators than I can really manage. So many different needs. And we
don't always have study time to do the prep we need. We're looking at
dropping probably. I hate it, most of them have potential, but we may
have to.
Cool news though. We might be famous. We met an author
on the street who asked us to help him with his book. Wanted
proofreading. So, in about 2 hours? maybe three-- We read through a 400
page language book. Head hurt so much. He said he wanted to hear more
about what we do here, so that was cool. Also said he wants to have
dinner with us, and that he'd put our names in as editors and give us a
copy. We'll see how things go as an investigator, he's a nice guy. Talks
fast.
Probably my favorite family is doing well too. They've
read all the way to 3 Nephi, they study the Bible DILIGENTLY. I say a
reference we're sharing and they already know what is in that chapter...
Basically, they've looked at a lot of churches, like what we share, and
are just waiting for that confirmation. We're mostly trying to help
them recognize it now.
Too much to write about... No time to do it. Met
another cool guy who is a friend of another investigator. Talked about
the Restoration. He read a little of the Book of Mormon while we were
talking and even was able to help explain it when we got to that part.
Smart guy, and looks like he has good potential. Met another family that
is interested in visiting America. (English interest, but open to
religion) Also we met a really amazing guy while knocking doors. He's
slightly mentally disabled, but he asked if we could visit, so we talked
with him for a while. He's so amazing. So nice, and so happy. It was
odd, even though it was hard to understand him, both Elder Lee and I
felt like we knew what he wanted to say. Words would just come to mind
in English. He lives with his mom, and she seems like a great person. We
want to see if we can visit again and meet them together. We want to
meet her too.
Anyway, this only puts a dent in what happened this
week, but it's all I have time for. I love you. Sorry I can't express it
much. If I could get more time, I'd give a lot for it.
Love you!
~Elder Robarts
