Hello!
To start off I am not going to lie, this past week has been hard! God has been testing me and Elder Pak. We set a baptism goal for this transfer and we want to get three baptisms. We figured that 1 out of every 10 contacts becomes an investigator and then 5 investigators out of every 10 investigators will accept a baptismal date, and about 1 out of every 5 investigators with a baptismal date will actually get baptized, so we need to get 300 contacts, 30 investigaors and 15 with a baptismal date! we then divided that up per day. And the the past three days we have worked so hard a lot harder than usual but it seems
to be slower and less success. I feel like god is testing us to see how we react when we dont have instant success. But as long as i can say i have given my all, i know god will be happy with my service no matter the outcome! But needless to say its been very hard! This week we have lost 2 investigators and gained 0.... One of them (our english investigator) had no interest so we dropped him, and the other was our only progressing investigator! He is super awesome but he moved to Seoul!!! However we called him last night to see how he was and he told us that he went online and found a church that was 10 minutes
from his house. He then said it is too big and really different from our Tongyoung church! haha "I miss my hometown, i am a Tongyoung person!" haha super funny guy! he said he is super lonely so we told him he could call the Seoul missionaries and play pingpong with them! :) You're welcome Seoul missionaries!
Here is a funny story! Me and Elder Pak were walking back from street contacting (8:40 PM) and had just ordered chicken to our house they usually take about 30 minutes to get the
food cooked and delivered, so we call before we get home. Well, we were walking when all the sudden these three God's Church Preachers about our age walked up to us and started talking with us. They had their bible and were trying to convince us that we were wrong. after a while I was getting antsy because i wanted chicken, so i smiled at them and said we got to go but here is a pamphlet about the restoration and if you have any questions feel free to call! Then i said thanks for talking to people about Christ and that they are awesome people! hehe they were so angry, they kept following us as we walked home! Super funny!
Yesterday E Sung Joon Passed the sacrament! Super cool to see how far he has come!
Love you all! Sorry super short this week I have to go to an island! Peace
