This week went by
quickly, but it went by slowly too. It seems like when you look at the day, you
feel like there is a ton of time and then
it is 8 o'clock at night and you are like, "Where did all my time go?!"
This week, sadly, we weren't able to meet with
any of our investigators, but were able to talk to others on the street and
to get things set up. So it was a really productive week and we
had a great time.
This last week, as I was studying for my talk that I had to give on Thursday, I really had the opportunity to think about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and learning about the gospel. No matter what, if you do or do not have a religion, there is no harm in learning about a higher being that promises that if you follow his Sons' example, then you will be happier beyond measure. The gospel requires much commitment for sure, but, nothing great was ever accomplished without commitment. The only way that we can be continually happy is only through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and I know that to be true.
This last Monday, we played at the church: we played games and hung out with other missionaries. We made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at the church and were able to talk to each other. After which, we emailed and then went outside and talked to people for the rest of the day. It was a great time being able to find people.
On Tuesday, my companion needed to go to the hospital for his arm, so we went in the morning to the hospital and he got checked up on and then went outside and talked to some people and then he went back to the hospital for some physical therapy. Then after that we came back to Geumjeong and were able to talk to others. Then we had dinner and went outside to find more people.
On Wednesday, we planned in the morning and then studied and went to help a member move into their new house. So, we went to their house and helped not only his family, but his daughters' family move into their houses. While doing that, we were able to meet a less active, and got his number and scheduled an appointment. After that, we returned home and studied for a little bit and then went outside to talk to others. Then we went out to dinner with some potential investigators and then for the rest of the day, we went outside and talked to as many people as we could find.
On Thursday, we studied in the morning and then we went a meeting and we had a great meeting! I got to give a talk at the end of it and that was good. Then we came back home and did some studies and then we went outside for a little bit and then came back and ate dinner and then we had our English class. After English class we talked with some of the members that attend it and then we went outside for the rest of the night.
Friday was a good day for sure! In the morning we talked to others and then we studied and then we planned for our upcoming week. Then we went outside and talked to others and then went to Busan National University to go sticker boarding. We were able to talk to a lot of people and then we had dinner and then for the rest of the day, we
went outside and got to meet other people.
On Saturday, we went to a place called yangsan and met the less active member that we had met on Wednesday and then we were going to go visit some other members, but it turned out that the bus that would take us there only came every 30 minutes, so we didn't have time to do that, so we went home and did studies and then had English class. Then we went out to eat with one of the people that attends our English class and then for the rest of the night, we talked to other people and walked home.
Sunday was stake conference. So we left our houses early and went to stake conference. I was able to see members from the Haeundai Ward and the Yeongdo ward, and it was a great time!! I love being able to see them! There was a lot of hugging and talking. Afterwards we had our conference and Elder Yamashita came and talked to us. After that we went home and ate lunch and then went outside and talked to other people and then came home and ate dinner and then went to the church to have a meeting with the missionaries in our area. Then afterwards, we went outside for the rest of the night and that was our week.
The weather here is getting better, but it is still cold and windy, but it is lovely and really starting to feel like spring!
