Yongdo: Drunk Soccer

This week we almost did nothing.  In Korea there are 2 really big holidays. The 1st is Choosuck. This is basically Thanksgiving for America and the 2nd is gaychore(the national foundation day of Korea). Choosuck is on the lunar calendar and gaychore is not. So this year the 2 holidays were just 1 day apart so the country of Korea decided to make the middle day a holiday also, so starting last week we are in the middle of a 2 week holiday! So last Wednesday we had a P-day where we had to go to a museum, and then the rest of the day was just regular P-Day. And on Thursday we had a fitness day for the mission. We played soccer and other fun games! So I had 3 p-days this week!

Every morning from 6-8ish these people play soccer. We met them last month and got invited to play with them. When we first went no one really talked to us and we were not sure how useful for missionary work it was. But now we have a bunch of their numbers and they give us rides to soccer and today they bought us some drinks after and we sat down and talked with them for about an hour. They all need the gospel so bad. Almost all of them were drunk this morning as they were playing soccer. They get up at 4:30 so they can drink and be sober before work. Its so sad. But we are getting pretty close with them and hopefully we can change it from soccer interest to gospel interest. 

Other than that we spent 2 days watching General Conference and it was amazing. This Conference really spoke to me. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to listen to and see our modern day Prophets, Seers, and Revelators. I encourage you all to keep studying these talks for the next 6 months and in 6 months be able to look back and see that you have changed in regards to general conference!
