Good Morning Everyone!
This week zoomed by as usual. We had a lot of meetings and activities this week making the bus my second home. Can I just say that the bus drivers of korea really should get an award for the fastest accelerations, worst gear changes, and most neck destroying stops. It is really an adventure every time that you get on the bus. We saw a little grandma eat it pretty hard one the bus when the bus driver started going when she wasn't sitting down. Super Sad:(
Anyways this week was great. We had choir practice on Tuesday all the way in Busan which took a little while to get there. Really a cool experience singing in a new language. Super fun. Wednesday we had our Zone Conference in Busan so more bus traveling. Zone conference was great. Me and my comp got to do a little activity for the zone and at the end I shared an awesome poem my dad sent me. I am not sure if they thought it was weird or cool. But I really am impacted by poems and how they state simple truths in such a beautiful way.
Thursday was super fun! A lot of people came to english class so we had a lot on our hands. I have 6 people to manage in the advanced section of english class and it was quite the party. The ages ranged from 18-60 with buddist, catholic, atheist, and Church members all present. One was slightly drunk and another smelt majorly like cigarette smoke. After mediating the conversation for an hour, we had an awesome message by the sisters and the spirit was super strong. Everyone felt it and many made a comment about the good feeling that they had. That night as I was thinking back on the day, I was overcome with gratitude for the opportunity I had to spend with those people tonight. And that they were all comfortable with being in our church. Super awesome day!
Friday I got to go on exchanges with Elder Pak. He is korean, but speaks pretty good english so it was a lot of fun! I got a lot of good korean practice. We gave a blessing to a member of his branch and I had the opportunity to anoint and seal the oil. Doing it in korean was a really special experience. We went to this super pretty place in his area and had a very nice personal study on the beach. The next morning we had a fun time play soccer with almost 20 guys! A few of them were not members and it was a really good atmosphere of love and kindness. A non member dad took us out to breakfast after and we had a good talk with him.
Sunday we got to perform in Busan for almost 200 hundred people! Really special program that our mission put together and I really felt the spirit. Many of the congregation were non members so that was really cool.
There is my week! Super pumped for this next week! We have a lot coming and its going to be great!
Love you all!
Elder Meeks
