This week we actually had a bit of free time (which never
happens) and we used to help Sister Tolley get used to the area, since we know
for sure that I will leave and she'll have to take over the area. So we have
walked and walked and walked all around our area mostly because 1) public transportation
is expensive and 2) we can talk with people on our way to places. Not to
mention the exercise benefits.
We were walking on our way to an appointment and I saw a
cute puppy and of course I'm going to go up and pet that cute puppy. We also
got to talk with the man who owned the puppy. We invited him to church; he
came, and will be meeting with the Elders!

Because Choosuk is coming up (a big Korean Holiday) we
weren't able to meet with a lot of investigators BUT we did meet 4 times with
one of our most progressing investigators who is also my best friend! She is
19, speaks English fluently, and loves the Book of Mormon! I love meeting with
her and she came to church for the first time last week! I don't think I've
ever been so happy <3<3
With Choosuk coming up we are going to have 4 more sisters
in our TINY 2-person house. 6 people over all. It will only be for 1 night but
we are cleaning and today we will get breakfast foods for them! It will be so
fun!
Speaking of cleaning - I have been comparing cleaning our
house to repentance. As a missionary I can literally compare everything to the
gospel....it's a talent:
Elder Holland said "People love receiving a remission
of sins but aren't concerned enough about retaining it!"
It's easy to get our house clean once for interviews but the
challenge is to keep it up. Just like we
have to pick up our clothes and do the dishes EVERY day we have to also
remember to have "real-time" repentance and not wait till Pday (or
Sunday) to clean it all up.
Just something I've been thinking about.
^^An excerpt from my letter to President.
I'm sorry my thoughts are so jumbled today.
On Saturday we went on a hike to Namhansanseong! We went
with our ward and had a picnic at the top. If you notice, our ward is very
ethnic. 2 Peruvians, a Samoan, a Tongan and us 4 American missionaries. I'm
pretty sure half our ward is foreign! (that's a bit of an exaggeration)
This is what my companion drew of me. It's her
"favorite picture ever" :)

A beautiful smoggy picture of Seoul! That tall building? That's the tallest building in North-East Asia, the Lotte Tower.
