Transfer Day! 당반자

Transfer Day!

I am no longer a trainy! I get a new companion today! His name is Elder Finch. I haven't picked him up yet. I pick him up at 12. This will be my third transfer in Jin hae. I love it here it is the best!

So this week we had a Thanksgiving dinner! There is a US Navy Seal that threw a Thanksgiving dinner party and we had a bunch of our investigators come. It turned out really well.  We had some of our investigators get friendshipped by ward members.

So this last week we had some good things. We got to meet with all of our investigators at their houses'. (Meeting in a Korean's house is hard! They don't like having people in their houses because they are really small).

I have to go so sorry for the short letter gotta go get my new companion.

This is my new companion! He is super awesome! He is from Provo.

A hike we went on

안영하새요!

This week was good. This coming week is the last week of this transfer so that means I'm almost done with training! That means no more 12 week program so thats great! Haha anyway. These past 2 transfers have gone by so quick.

This week we ate with our bishop! That was super hard because our bishop used to be really hard to work with. He would never talk to us and never answer our phone calls. When I was very first here like my first week he has this letter thing he wrights every month to the stake president and he wrote, "please send new missionaries." But we have really gained his trust since then. We ate a bunch of meat together. Since then he has found us people to teach with and members for our investigators. Yesterday he got a kid to sit with and go to all the classes in church yesterday and now they are really hitting it off. Things are so much better when members friendship investigators because if we do baptize an investigator but the investigator doesn't have any friends and the missionaries leave they are going to go less active so that why its so nice and

important to have them.

This morning I went to a 목요탕 (a bath house) that was fun! Also last week we went on a hike and saw this budist temple on the way up to the top of the mountain. The hike was super foggy so it looked supper cool.

Heres some pics.

This is behind the Budist temple thousands of statues.
This was just on this mountain it was super awesome to see.

Hi

This week has been good. We taught a lot this week and got some referrals. I also went on my second exchange so that was awesome. I went with Elder Sandstrum he is the most American Korean I have ever met haha. We gave a way so many BOMs! Masan is where I went for the exchange and its a lot bigger than Jin hae so there were a lot more people it was supper awesome.

Yesterday we had an investigator at church. This kid has a lot of potential. His parents died and we have been teaching him the Plan of Salvation and he said he got the best feeling when we taught him it. Super awesome. Also we found an old investigator that owns a jersey shop and he gave me a free football jersey so that was awesome.

The jersey the investigator gave me.

We have some awesome investigators that we are trying so hard to baptize before Christmas day.

I have been thinking of how awesome our church is. There are so many churches that have preachers. For other people church and religion is just something they do on Sunday. Our church is awesome we are so much more involve we teach each other and learn so much more and have our own testimonies. In other churches peoples faith is just built on their preachers. We act on our faith. Our church is more than something we just do on Sunday it a culture, its our life. Religion should be something that is changing you. You're faith should always being growing because if its not then it doing the opposite. Faith is never something that we just obtain and have it forever. We have to act on it.

This were we leave our shoes.
In Korea don't ever have you shoes on in the house they will go crazy.

Hello!

This week was pretty good. Went by super quick. The weather here is cooling down a lot. Now the leaves are starting to change color which is super beautiful.

A huge flower festival we went to as a district.

This week we did the 30/30 program and again with this 18 yr old kid the week before he was really not interested in the The BOM  but we got him to take it and invited  him to read the introduction. And talk to us about it the next time we meet. So Saturday we met with him again and this time he was eager to talk about the book. We taught him more about the story. He got more interested and invited him to read just the 1st chapter of 1st Nephi. We have just been giving him small reading invitations because he hates reading. I put my self in his shoes and man if I was him I would feel the same way.

The Book of Mormon is super awesome I love it sooo much today I was reading about Ammon (one of King Mosiah's sons) and how he told the king Lamoni he would be his servant if he could stay in the land. And serves him. Anyways you know the story. If you don't read it Alma 17-18 i think. But through service we can soften hearts and show people the true love of Christ.

So a little bit more about Korea and the mission. So I'm not sure if I have ever said this but we can't proselyte to girls because they looooove foreigners. The high school girls get a little crazy haha. So if you ever wonder why I don't have girl investigators that's why.
