Hello Everyone!
me and some statue

So this past week we had some pretty fun experiences. I went and had to get a new foreigner card on Wednesday because of been living in Korea for a year now. So that was a fun little experience. We were also able to have interviews with our mission president and had a super good experience.

So on our way to the interviews (which were in a different area) we got a call from our Bishops wife saying that she was wondering if we could come and give a blessing to a member who was sick. So realizing we would be late to interviews we decided to go right away rather than wait a few a hours. So we rushed over to this members house. The member is in a wheel chair because his legs don't work, and we gave a him a blessing. I anointed the oil and my comp did the blessing. Then he asked if we could help him give his baby a blessing too because she was getting sick. So the mom held the baby
and we all kneed down and I anointed the oil on the baby's head and the dad gave the blessing.

Then after that he asked me to translate a blessing he had given his wife and baby a few weeks earlier into English since his wife is a Philippine and doesn't speak Korean super well. So I translated some blessings into English. Which was a little stressful but it was pretty awesome too. So then we rushed back to do interviews and it all went well and was a great experience. It was a pretty spiritual moment for me. And right after interviews we had another lesson with our pretty golden investigator. It went well and he said he wants to start meeting twice a week which is a really good sign.

We have an activity coming up in the next couple weeks so we've been spending a lot of time preparing for that recently too. Today for P-day we went to a Buddhist temple out in the mountains of the outskirts of Daegu. It was pretty good. There are a lot interesting pieces of art that are really cool to look at when we go to Buddhists temples like that. Other than that not a lot more is going on. Missionary work is going good. Its very cold still. But thats nothing new. Well I guess I'll talk to you again next week! I love you all! Bye!
