It feels like one month to be honest haha
I thought I would have a bunch of grand and wise words to share at this point but I feel really the same. Don't get me wrong, I've changed a bunch from the mission, but like most miraculous and converting things, it didn't all happen in one moment so I cant really expect to send one super awesome email about all the things that encompass "passing the year-mark". So instead, I'll pass this week talking about that and see what I can think of for next week (because my brain is fried from the first week and I'm trying to finish this email up relatively fast so other peeps can email and we can get on with the rest of our P-day~). So for now I'll just tell you how the first week was!!
I got my new companion, Elder Sayer, and he's a baller. He's from a small town somewhere in Idaho, graduated high school, came out to to the mission, and now he's out here killing it with me in Suseong for at least the next six weeks. We already met in the MTC so we're already pretty comfortable with each other. He wants to work hard, he loves his mission, and he knows how to have fun while doing missionary work. We're already hoping to serve two transfers together.
STUFF THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK:
- I had to go down to Busan for DLTM. Good meeting. More rules came out. That's a bit of a bummer. But I still love being District Leader, and I love my district, and I'm excited to see what will happen this transfer.
- We found a service activity teaching English at a library with a nice lady who used to meet with the missionaries a long time ago. We're going to be doing it for the first time this next week~
- We meet our awesome potential investigator and he's cool to start taking lessons now so more on that later as well. He has an Australian accent. But he's Korean. Super cool.
- District Meeting. We had an awesome discussion about "Using Time Effectively". I love hearing all their thoughts and opinion over just hearing talks from one person.
There was definitely more that happened but I'm, super blanking it all right now. But to boil it down: we were so busy we didn't actually get to proselyte until Sunday night. Oh boy.
Okay, I gotta go, sorry this isn't the best quality. Buh-bye~
