This week was a little difficult to be honest, but the Lord definitely noticed because he blessed us a bunch this week. Great experiences this week. And we managed to stay warm, thanks to some nice weather...
Where to start? We had a goal from our district meeting last week to make a goal everyday, then tell another team to be accountable, and then inform God to consecrate the goal and let Him help us. And every daily goal we made this week got accomplished! We had a few good ones I'd like to share real quick... We made a goal to give a Book of Mormon to a family on a day where we had a lot of time to proselyte. We had nothing the whole day, and by the time it was about thirty minutes before we needed to head home, we met a family by the river who were really friendly to us, didn't want to meet, but was happy to take our book and would find us if they wanted to know more. That was the daily first goal that we made as well, so after that happened we figured we have to keep doing it, so we did! The next day we had a goal to see a less-active. We have been hunting for the less-actives in our branch for the last transfer and a half and we have not seen a face yet. But after walking all the way to the other side of the area, knocking all the doors and getting nothing, we had one left. And it opened! Sad part was we couldn't do anything since we can't be in a place alone with a female. But she invited us in, we politely explained, and she had a smile on her face when we showed up. The sisters are going to go visit her this week and hopefully we can see her at church. But the very best one happened on Saturday, when we made a goal to find a new investigator. The area has been dry for a few weeks. We only have two investigators and that's only if you count our disappeared one. We had been praying to find one for a few weeks now and it came to Saturday, and this goal-making thing seemed to be working, so we made it and hoped for the best. The day went on and stuff kept popping up but nothing that would lead to finding somebody. So we went over to set up for church, practiced a musical number for church, and had only an hour to go out and find. So we went out the door and there's a man that attended our English class last week and he felt like even though class already ended that he should just come and see if anyone was there. Long story short, this man (이도양) is a new investigator! He told us his life story, he has dreams to come closer to God, we taught the Restoration, he accepted a Book of Mormon, and he even fed us dinner because he thought he was bothering us. Super sweet guy. I can see him in white for sure. He gave us some miracles when we really needed them. I hope I'm humble enough to try and always remember them.
Other than that, we just had random stuff this week! It was 빼빼로 Day on Saturday as well so people kept giving us candy and whatnot. I love that Koreans show their love through food. We also had district meeting this week. And they're starting to change some more stuff in the mission but we won't find out until zone conference. But they did tell us that there's a new rule that we can't email back and forth. Just one sent, one received. No more chatting. A lot of missionaries aren't happy about it. I'm still figuring out to even email effectively so it doesn't affect me too much. And Elder Seely hit his year mark! I forgot when we celebrated but the man is half way done already. Another wake-up call for how fast this thing goes.
That's all I've got! Thanks for reading/writing!
