Hello everybody. How are you all doing on this fine day? 잘지내신가요? I am doing right well. 잘지내요! OhhhhKay, what did I do this week that is worthy of notation creation? WELL! I'm glad I asked, because the answer to that question is "a lot."
My companion and I met with Mollie at a Cafe and talked about what its like to be in Korea and religion and such. She went to Williams Baptist academy something or other. She is definitely Christian and I can assume she is Baptist, but she mostly just seems to believe in Christ.
We also met with our friend 서종봄 (so Joeng boem) we ate udon. It was absolutely delicious! And we talked about cooking and War and video games. All things I don't know much about. He speaks perfectly understandable English which is nice. And he is a returned missionary.
AND THEN we met with a Cambodian girl named Alli with an ah instead of an a and a Lee instead of whatever you were thinking. 앟마튼! Which literally translates to ANYWAY. We talked to her about the different cultures she has experienced and teaching her English. She is already trilingual with Cambodian, Korean, and I think Vietnamese. She was super nice! We need to baptize her.
AND THEN we met a guy named 방춘성. Bahng choon soeng. He bought us some absolutely delicious chicken. The Korean fried chicken is superior to American fried chicken. I'm just as patriotic about our country's fantastic obesity inducing junk food as the next cowboy, so when I say the Koren chicken is better, you know I mean it, and that I will always have a spot saved in my heart for American food to clog up. What was I talking about? 방춘성. 그래서 (pronounced ku ray so, but kinda sounds like Kay so, and It means so. It works out in English too) we talked to this guy about religion for the whole meal and he didn't seem uncomfortable or like he was just forcing himself to be polite at all. He was just a super duper open-minded guy. I like him a lot! We met all three of these people last Saturday. It was the best day of the week.
Then the next day we taught 윤채린 and her dad 윤석붕. Yoon Chae rean and Yoon soak boong. And 석동진 soak doang Jean, a super nice member was there. We taught English then talked about the book of Mormon. It was very successful. We gave them both a book of Mormon and invited them to read a scripture out of Third Nephi.
It was great to meet all these great people and share a message about the restored church with them. 10/10 I would recommend going on a mission.
PICTURES!!!
There's a cat that thinks he is so cool but HE IS NOT!
There's my companion getting stolen on one of those beat outdoor gyms.
There is a picture of me making a heart because I am filled with love
There is a 할머니 harmoni or "grandmother" pushing her cart and being awesome. When I called home Monday morning, I told my mom that all the harmoni's push around their carts kind of hunched over, wearing big, purple, puffy coats . . . this lady was the first person we saw when we went out that day. Her coat is pink, but her pants are purple. You get the idea.
A selfie and a meme... I guess I ran out of ideas.
