Hello Everyone!
This past week was pretty good. It seems like our long weeks of proselyting have started to pay off. For starters we have recently gotten these new pass along cards for our churches new christmas video "He Is The Gift" that we have been handing out to people and its been pretty good so far. This past week we were able to meet with our one investigator, Shin Han Cheorl, and he is doing very well. When we met
with him before we started teaching the gospel part he said that he really liked listening to it. We taught the last part of the 2nd lesson, The Atonement. When we explained the whole 3 Kingdoms process with him he immediately told us that that seemed right unlike other beliefs about just heaven and hell. So he is doing great.
On saturday night we had a small little ward party where we all got together and had a little barbecue. But instead of hamburgers we had oysters and crab a little different from american barbecues. We have been spending a lot of time proselyting recently in the super cold weather of Daegu. The humidity makes it pretty killer. Just last night we were outside street boarding trying to talk to people. Usually we get a couple people but last night no one would come and talk to us so we just stood outside for about 2 hours and it was freezing cold.
So being pretty discouraged we decided to wait for like another 5 or 10 minutes and cut our losses and go home for the night. hen right after that some kid about my age came up to us and started talking to us in pretty much perfect english. He was wondering why there was some random foreigner in korea and I told him how I taught a free english class and he was super excited cause he said he has been looking for just foreigners who he could talk with. Then he was asking about us some more and I told him that we were missionaries and he got super shocked look on his face and started talking about how recently he's just been wanting to learn a lot about christianity and Jesus Christ.
So i was just like perfect, and I told him about how we teach a program where we can teach him english and about Jesus Christ all for free. He immediately gave us his phone number wihtout us asking for it and told us we could call him any night after 6 to meet. Him being a student in korea that is just about unheard of to me personally. He texted us earlier today also to make sure we had his number and told us ton contact him soon.
So hopefully we just found someone who has really been prepared. It made me really happy to know that the work is being payed off. A lot of times, especially this past transfer, I've gone home at night pretty down thinking that Im not making any kind of difference. Of course i never let it get me too down, but its always nice to have a good confirmation that you are doing a good thing every now and then. Nothing else much to report on. I love you all! I hope you all have a wonderful christmas season! Bye!
