Good Morning!(Well it's the morning in Korea)
To start of this week, a new rule went into place where we have to proselyte for at least 2 hours everyday and it has been really hard. Korea is getting super super cold and we have to go out in the morning everyday and every night. The humidity really does the trick to seal the deal of being ultimately cold. My comp busted out his thermals this week and I am thinking I need to do the same thing. This is a really hard rule to follow, but hopefully we will find some people through it and share our awesome message! We talked to a few foreigners on the street this week two which was really fun. Whenever we see someone who is not korean it is a big surprise and a good opportunity to talk to them in English. We met a guy from Russia and a guy from Scotland. Both didn't have interest, but they were really fun to talk to and just have a normal conversation in English!
District Meeting this week was about patience. Considering the new rules this transfer, it couldn't have come at a better time. It was really inspirational and has helped me through this week. One thing that I learned is that we need patience as our ability to show charity increases. Charity is sosososo important as a missionary and it doesn't all come at once. After the meeting, we went to this place called "mom's touch". It is basically the chick fil a of korea, but it was sosososo gross. I have never had a worst tasting chicken sandwich in my life. To make it worst, the smell wouldn't come off our hands so we had to smell the nasty sauce the rest of the day. As we were coming home, I bought some treats for this dog that we always pass on the street on our way home. I fed it a treat and I thought it was now my friend so I tried to pet it and it bit my hand really hard!!!!!!! Ahh it was definitely more funny than anything, but my had has a few battle scars. LOL
Thanksgiving wasn't too special. We went to a yummy meat buffet and ate A LOT. Super yummy. The sisters in our area had so many appointments that day that they literally had no time to eat lunch or dinner so right before English class, we bought them a huge pizza for them. Not your average thanksgiving feast, but at least it was something. \
Saturday we got a lot of food from members. We played soccer that morning so we got yummy breakfast then. Then after kids English class we got more food from other members. Then we got majorly lost on our way to a members house that was 45 minutes away, but once we got there they took us to this super SUPER nice Korean buffet. The name of it is the party. Literally one of the nicest restaurants I have ever been to, but it was in buffet style. Each ticket was 50 dollars so the members really sacrificed a lot to take us there. Me and elder Giles were super happy!
Sunday I got to bless the sacrament for the first time in Korean! It was super spooky, but I got through it. I had to say it really slow because I did not want to mess up anything. Also, this week was our last meeting with Alex before he moved. Super sad to see him leave, but I am sure the missionaries in his new area will take care of him.
Love you all and have an awesome week!
