Hello!!!
Lots of pictures this week just for you Malorie. They will come in
multiple emails. This week was a holiday called chew sak. Everyone
travels to their hometowns, eats lots of food and spends time with their
family. Missionaries have a mission conference, clean their house and
eat lots of food. Before Mission conference we had a mission-wide fast. I
love fasting because it helps us out a lot. The purpose of this fast was
so we can remove all of the anchors and ropes holding our mission back
so that we can quickly go forward. Then at mission conference talked
about getting our daily bread. We talked a lot about Manna and how it
only lasted one day. Same thing with our missionary work and the little
miracles we receive here everyday. That is one of presidents favorite
phrases, " recognize the little miracles everyday." He said we need to
only focus on the task at hand somtimes and then move on not try and
take on the whole thing at once. If you get a chance look up Elder
Christoferson's Daily Bread videos, they are super good.
After the mission fast we ate tons of good food, but to open our
fast we went to a buffet. This buffet we ate so much chicken. Before we
realized we were full they brought another plate to us. In Korea you
have to eat everything on your plate or they charge you extra. So we
played rock paper scissors or kai bai bo you had to eat. We play Kai bai
bo for literally everything. After mission conference We had an entire
day to clean, but we had been cleanng over the past couple of weeks
during free time so it only took us 4 hours to finish. then we went to
동대문 market and I bought a 200 dollar suit for guess how much....50
bucks. It is an awesome Korean style suit and yes it is shiny. picture attached. Then the next day was PDay so we had a party and played
basketball and watched the best 2 years with 2 other zones. Tons of
Fun!! There isn't much else that has happened this week We only taught
one lesson, to Sam because of the holiday, but he was clean from smoking
for 2 days because his family doesn't know he smokes and he was with his
family. but then he didn't answer our calls to come to church the next
day. We should see him tonight.
Transfer Calls are this Saturday so I get to see what happens. We
have a guessing game our house is playing, super fun. They are putting 2
more elders in 동대문 so i think Elder Franchina and i will split and I
will get an older missionary while franchina trains again. Elder
Franchina thinks im going to train but that is scary and im not ready
for that yet! Love Ya!
