Wow what a crazy week! The lord has blessed us so much! I have seen more miracules this week than i can count! ok so this week we picked up 2 more investigators. every night we stay up till 10:20 contacting everyone we can and we got 2 appointments with some old investigators and they want to keep meeting! One wants the book of mormon in english because he says the korean bible is hard to understand and so he studies it in english! So he said he wants an english book of mormon! He is super good at english! Which makes our job easier! But we still speak in korean becuase we were called to speak in that language! also the scriptures say every ear will hear this message from there own language! but it helps when we dont know how to say something! the other one is an orange farmer! Which is very typical here in jeju! (The grow over 250 different kinds of oranges! We met again with our old investigator! but he said he forgot about our appointment so he got super, super drunk. it makes it a lot harder to teach when they are super drunk. we tried teaching him how to pray but i dont think much stuck! so we got him to pray for us! Hopefully we can meet with him again when he isnt drunk!
Then we have a meeting with a potential investigator this sunday, he is a super awesome kid who is really interested in our church! Like all highschool students here he is super busy so he said he will come to our church on sunday and we can meet after church! hopefully that works out! Next we got a refferal from..... yup you guessed it the hawaii temple's visitor center! Except they gave us the wrong number and only have an address, so we have spent the last week trying to figure out the address. I think we got it so we are going to check that out tomorrow.
We are working so hard! I am always so tired! but i love seeing the change this area is making! I love christmas and i have seen so many miracles that come through showing the churches #lighttheworld video with people! It brings the spirit in so strong! If any of you havent seen it do it! Just go to Mormon.org and it in there it is! super good video! SHARE IT ON ALL YOUR SOCIAL MEDIAS! I have been starting to notice the spirit more in my life and i am working on always following the fealings i get! I am so happy i get to spend this christmas serving our lord and savior jesus chirst! there is no better way to spend chirstmas then by serving others! thats all chirst did so what better way to celebrate his birhtday?
here is a funny story! So we were walking and i started talking to these 2 drunk old men and after a while they took us into a 7-eleven type store and tried buying us coffee but we convinced them that milk would be ok! So he made us grab 2 things of milk each. we sat down and started talking when he walks over again with a handful of these wierd pastries. So then they start making us eat and drink what they just got us while talking to us and yelling a lot (because they were drunk) all in all they were super nice and super funny! But i drank at least 1 liter of chocolate milk and strawberry milk, ate at least 3 of these wierd pastries and felt like trash! But we talking to them for a while then one of them said he was stronger than us and we told him he probably was, but nope that wasnt enough for him.... so yeah he made us arm wrestle him!I haha super funnY! we are sitting in this gas station, we just drank so much milk, and we are arm wrestiling this 70 year old man.... and he beat elder youngblood. So he looks at me, after a hard battle i barely beat his right arm..... but holy crap his left arm is soo strong! he destroyed me! then he stood up and started cheering then they just walked out and left! super weird but super funny!
Loving my mission so much! Love my savior so much! I love serving during chirstmas time and hate how fast it is going! I am not going to lie this has been a hard 4 months but it has been some of the most happy, fun, and enjoyable time of my life!!
Sincerly
