안녕하세요!
What a week!
We have had a lot of our investigators drop us, or stop
meeting with us over the last few weeks but we have had a lot of success with
finding new, prepared people.
On Wednesday, after district meeting, our district decided
to sticker board for English. We have a board that asks "What is the
hardest part about learning English?" and then there are boxes that say
"Words, Grammar, and Pronunciation." We stand at a street corner and
invite everyone to choose a category and put a sticker on the board. We then
talk about our free English program and see who's interested.
It was VERY successful! Yay! Sister Moyer and I got 9 numbers and we look
forward to seeing them all come out to our English class!
On Thursday we had TEMPLE DAY!!! Woot! So we got to go
across the river ~
The river divides our mission from the Seoul Mission so it's
a big treat if we get to go there. We just aren't allowed to shop or buy food
there :(
For P-Day we went bike riding with our zone! Except, we
kinda got lost trying to find the bikeriding place so we ended up just walking
around and taking selfies.
Those faces though....
We finally made it, but instead of biking I decided to go
roller blading? Worst decision ever! I think I assumed it would be much easier
than it actually was. I started going
but then I realized that everyone on bikes was way far ahead of me ㅠ ㅠ so I tried to go faster and faster.
"It is not requisite for a man to [rollerblade] faster
than he has strength."
I ended up falling and sprung my wrist – It wasn't that bad
but I ended up taking my roller blades off and just walking the rest of the
day.
We were so sore the next day, which made it hard the next
couple of days. But today, this P-day, we are resting!
Last Sunday we had a new family move in. They are Polynesian
and the husband is working on the American Base close by. They really wanted to
delve into Korean culture so they decided to attend a Korean ward for the two
years they will be here. They are so awesome!
However, that means that we missionaries can be a really big
help to them by translating. I translated for the mother in Relief Society.
That was the first time I have ever had to translate and it was so hard! Ahhh!
I can understand basically what everyone is saying in my
head but translating that into English that makes sense was a lot more
difficult than I had originally anticipated. But it'll definitely help me
improve in English speaking skills and Korean listening skills!
After Relief Society, Sister Moyer and I went to help the 8
year old girl in primary. We will be co-teaching primary from now on. The
Primary president says something in Korean and we say the same thing in English.
It's actually really fun! And Primary Korean is a LOT easier to understand than
. . . anything else. It's really refreshing ^^
I'm so grateful for this opportunity to serve in Korea.
They say that 10 years of experience is shoved into 18
months or 2 years and that is 100% true.
I love you all! <3
Have a wonderful week ~~~
