Hello Everyone!

This past week went by really fast I thought. Days just seem to be going by faster and faster now. This past week we were able to have a pretty fun time it seems like. We were able to hang out with a lot of members because for some reason new years is a bigger deal then Christmas in Korea and people have more time off. 

it snowed again

On Tuesday we met with our ward mission leader and another member and went to a really nice buffet, and at night we were able to visit a kind of referral we got from a member. It was kind of a referral in the sense that someone was just interested in our English program but not really in the gospel. But we met her and she seemed like she would come to our English class. So who knows maybe somewhere down the road her gospel interest will grow. That's what happens with a lot of converts by the way. A lot of members you talk to here will say that the reason they joined the church started from attending English class. So its a pretty sweet program.

Wednesday it snowed again here in Daegu and we had district meeting and met with some less active kids who live aboutan hour and a half or so away from our house. They are really cool kids and we usually meet with them every other week. Since they live so far away its hard for them to come to church or activities but recently they have started to come out which has been awesome to see.

On Thursday we had a ward New Years Party which was really fun. We ate some weird Korean food (like you'd expect). It was some weird raw fish slices that even other Koreans that were my age were afraid to eat. But it wasn't super horrible I didn't think. Friday we were able to meet with our investigator Tom the college student. He was busy so we haven't met for a while but meeting with him just was really good. He is still super excepting about our gospel and says that our church seems more right about the other christian churches. He is super awesome kid and I feel like he will receive baptism before I leave Sang-in.

Saturday we had our English class and did some planning and Sunday we went to church and proselyted at night. Time goes by fast when you have appointments. Korea's vacation time just started so I think maybe we will start getting a little busier. Its super cold here in Daegu. The humidity makes everything seem like 40 degrees colder plus the wind is pretty killer too. But Winter is maybe half way or close to being over I think. Korea is a pretty interesting place and its been an awesome experience so far.

As of next week I will have been living here in Korea for over a year. Time flies. Well I hope you all have a wonderful day. I love you all and I'll talk to you again

next week! Bye!
