Dear Home,
I like the idea of having notes
prepped ahead of time, but it's weird trying to manage the flow of the
letter when there's a big block thrown in that I wrote days ago.
This week has been pretty fun. In Korea, there are a
lot of holidays in may, so we have been doing a lot of proselyting
activities to find people to teach. On Monday it was Childrens Day here, so our mission decided to move Pday to Wednesday
in order to take advantage of all the families going out. A lot of
people were there, so it was pretty successful. Hopefully we will be
able to meet a lot of them later. But yeah, that was why I wasn't able
to email Monday.
I've gotta say, having four Elders in the
house again is nice. You can do a lot more when you have more people
around. I love how efficient two man houses can be, but I like the perks
of four man too.You get to share stories a lot more. Usually serving in
a two man and being together twenty-four seven, you have already shared
all the stories you can think of.
This month has a lot of excitement going on.Coming up, there are
tons of holidays in Korea, then there is a ward fellowshipping activity
we are working in to help prepare everyone for the visiting apostle,
then Elder Christofferson comes, first to Daejeon to meet the
missionaries, then down to Gwangju,so we will get to see him twice!
It'll be awesome.
It feels like there is a lot of news, but
I'm always at a loss of what to share first. After finding out the
notes capability of a translator I use here, I've been finding all sorts
of useful things with it. I put PMG on there, I'm working on typing up
lesson plans on it, and it is a good place for just simple references.
Pretty similar to what I'd been doing with the phone, but with better
connections. In a hurry, I also can copy emails onto it and read them
later, rather than my method of taking a picture of it like I used to.
Little tricks to make life easier. Of course,
these are extremely simple tasks for others with modern technology. As
missionaries, we run a little more simple, but I love it. We've also
started using little outlines when we make our lesson plans. Found out
that helps us a lot. Plus, it makes it easier to record impressions we
get for lessons during the week.^^
Yep, Buddha's Birthday, Children's day, things are pretty exciting here. Children's day was the best.
Another
fun story: I ran into an old investigator I met a year ago. I met him
in Daejeon, and missionaries there found him again. Turns out Mokpo is
his hometown and he's started coming down for the weekends to look after
his mom. IT was pretty cool to talk with him again. He loves history
and says he wants to read the Book of Mormon. He loves the idea of
church, but he felt like a lot of them were more monetary than they
should be. Loves what he's seen of ours though. He's always been a super
nice guy. I hope we get to see him a lot more.^^
