Today has been unreal! We have met with 3 new investigators already and it's only 4 o'clock! Today has been a day where we reap the blessings of our hard, diligent service. We met with a man who works next door to our church building and he has a sincere desire to feel the Holy Ghost in his life and have a personal witness that God is there. Then right after him, we met with a girl and her boyfriend who we met from English class two weeks ago. It all started because the girl wants to get a job as a flight attendant and so she wanted to meet with us to practice her final interview and stuff for the job. After the practice, we taught about our special message of the restoration and it was SO good. It caught both Elder Clearwater and especially me off guard. Her boyfriend is so prepared and she really wants to learn more. I am so excited to teach them more and help them gain a testimony of their own.
Last week was temple day and it went really well. I always love the temple. After, we headed to Dong-Dae-Moon and got some ties and just hung out.
For p-day yesterday, we went and played screen golf with Sue and her son. It was way fun, but I didn't do as well as last time :( I'll still take you though dad ;)
We have been working a lot with our investigators and they are progressing really well. In fact, last night I was able to talk on the phone with Lee-Say-Won about baptism more. I was able to hear about her concerns and help her see how she is prepared and that it is the next step for her. We talked about maybe being baptized in two weeks, but we don't have a date or anything, but really she is doing well.
Also, Kim-So-Hee and Lee-Ju-Yun were able to see a baptism on Sunday. The Zone Leaders had a baptism after church and they got to see it. It went really well. So-Hee thought it was strange at first (but remember she has 0 religious background) but we met after and helped explain it. We left with a challenge to her to think about baptism and if she wants to be baptized. As for Ju-Yun, she still loves the church and everything about it, but just can't be baptized because of her teaching at a Buddhist school situation.

I hope you guys were able to get that memory card I sent home with pictures from the lake and stuff that the ZL's investigator took. Feel free to send those out or whatever :)
Hmmm. I feel like I have so much time today because we are using Apple computers today and they are SO fast compared to the usual 1995 computer we use hahaha.
Just know that I love you guys. I am so happy I get to serve here in Seoul Korea. This is exactly where God wants me to be. I love the people here so much and am so blessed to be able to serve them. I love being a missionary.
Have a great week. Be safe. Talk to you next week at the normal time...hopefully! :)
love,
