Yongdo: Beachhouse

안녕하세요 여러분!!! 잘 지내세요?

This week has been hecka busy!! Last week during weekly planning we made a number of appointments but had to cancel a lot of them because 1) we found out that we had to move houses and 2) we had to plan a baptism that is taking place in 3 days!

We are now on Youngdo. We used to live on one side of the island and the church was on the other side.  We had to spend a ton of money and travel by bus to do missionary work. Also we were living in a shack that the church purchased like 30 years ago! Now we get to move to the other side of the island. Not only did we move but we moved to an ocean side mansion! It is massive! I sent pictures but I will take more next week of it after we are organized and it is all cleaned up.  We can now walk to the church in 4 minutes! That is really nice!

This is a branch member who was recently married and her husband is taking the lessons. Last week she called us and said "Elders we need to have a baptism this Saturday" This was on Thursday! So we set up an interview, I made a baptism announcement,  and we asked some people if they would come and talk. On Friday, our branch president called us and said that we couldn't have the baptism this week and said it would have to be postponed until he talked with the Mission President. This week he called us on Tuesday and said "Elders there is a man named Kim Jong Gook's who wants to get baptized before this Saturday because he is getting married at our Chapel on Saturday. So we made another baptism service in like 3 days! It went great! Bro. Gook said that when he was baptized that  he felt a "pop" feeling in his ears and felt as if his sins and mistakes were swept away; he said he truly felt clean! It was a really cool baptism! Once he gets the Priesthood, he looks forward to being able to baptize his son! 

We were busy this week, but we still found time to meet with some other investigators. We set a goal as a district to get 9 baptisms this transfer and our part of that was 3, so we got 2 more to get! Please include this goal in your prayers! Love you all tons!!
