Hey everybody it sounds like the family reunion was awesome sorry I missed it. Remember when you made me dress up as a polygamist at the last one?.... i do. NO i am not over it. I forgive you a little.
ok so gwangju= total upgrade. Dont get me wrong- I LOVE naju. But guess what? People want to talk to us here and theres a mcdonalds and my companion only has one personality!!
My favorite investigators so far are a former nun who decided she wanted children and ran away from her nunnery into a prearranged marriage and now has two sons named dillon and andrew. She is just oozing with coolness. You have no idea. I kinda want to be her minus the prearranged marriage and being a nun.
We have another investigator who is 21 and total babe and accepted our baptismal commitment on Friday. huzzah!
We also have this little 50 year old chinese man who probably cant meet with us anymore because two years ago he went to vietnam and saw a pretty girl on the street and took a picture with her and he wants to marry her. So he's learning english so that he can talk to a translator who will ask her if she will be his girlfriend.... after he finds her.
I just feel like it might not turn out well. But he said he'd pray about the book of mormon!
My new compy is kinda great. I was really scared of her at first but shes actually a little rockstar. She's from korea/texas (yeah jer!) and is a music education major and a really gifted teacher. She's really patient and constantly teaching sometimes i get annoyed but then i realize its SO good for me. We've bonded over our love of the south (even though texas is not really the south) taylor swift and that she likes to do missionary work which is REFRESHING.
This is her last transfer so I get to kill her too- kinda sad kinda stressful because I need to learn the gwangju area in six weeks- say some prayers ok?
We cover two wards one of them is the stake center and its a really exciting time because the stake is totally pumped on missionary work right now. They are trying to get 100% attendance at church until christmas as a birthday present to jesus. They also have to give away a book of mormon to a friend once a month and they are getting tons of pressure to give us referrals. At the last counsel meeting a went to they drew a chart on the board that says 100% attendance+ baptizing all our friends = temple in gwangju. And you know what i bet they can totally make it happen. I love intense koreans.
We went to young mens young womens yesterday and theres a bunch of foreigner kids in that ward so they teach in english. One of the teachers asked what prayer is. This kid raises his hand and says prayer is like walking on the beach with God except theres no beach and God isnt there....
what does that even mean?! hahahaha
OK GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?! We went to the bishops house for dinner and his daughters go to BYU/ he lived in provo for a couple years and guess who they know?! Sorah Kong! Universe! youve done it again! SO im totally in with them now and they'll probs refer all their friends to us.
So things are great. Gwangju is awesome. The church is true keep being awesome and writing me letters.
Lovie dovie,
