안녕하세요!!!
We got transfer calls on Saturday~~~ I'm staying here in
Seongnam and will finish training Sister Sweetnam here! This will be my 5th
transfer here which is easily twice as long as I've been anywhere. I love it
here so I'm happy! Elder Downing is leaving our district ㅠㅠ so we'll see who the new elder is!
Fun things that happened this week:
During planning one night we hear a knock on the door. It
was a bit scary because the only people who knock on our door are sales-people
or other missionaries from another church. So -- we open it up to find our
upstairs neighbor with a plate of delicious cucumber kimchi (my favorite!!) and
she said that she heard voices from in here and wanted to introduce herself by
giving us food. She said that about 2 years ago 'boy missionaries' lived here
and would always give her kids Choco Pies so she was always so grateful. We
thanked her profusely and sat down to finish planning and eat our kimchi.
Not long after we hear another knock on the door and she's
there with 닭갈비(a chicken dish . . . my
other favorite) and her two kids are along with her. We thank her again so, so
much and we say hello to her children - we sing a few songs with them, say
goodbye, then thank Heavenly Father for the family living 2 stories above us.
And of course, eat the delicious food.
Next . . . A really
nice lady came up to us on the subway and wanted our number! Never happens.
Later find out that she's a matchmaker for Christian singles . . .ㅋㅋ So we'll see where this goes . . . I
will keep you updated. She's really sweet though!
We went on exchanges with some awesome sisters this week!!
We have a Teacher Improvement program to help us with our
language and teaching skills and I finished it literally on my year mark! I am
a certified teacher now^^
I have acquired a guitar from another Sister who didn't want
it . . . but the last string broke. So if anyone knows how to restring a guitar
let me know. And yay for sharing the gospel through music!
We had stake conference this week ~ it was a broadcast from
Utah. Elder Ringwood spoke (he spoke at last general conference, about serving
in Korea) and he gave a talk completely in Korean! Everyone else was
translated.
Our mission came out with an intense 7 minute, full body
work out that we are expected to do every morning. Our district wants to make a
workout video for it so we will film it today. I have been chosen to be the
token girl so . . . wish me luck. Maybe I'll send the video next week^^
Cute story of the week:
Our youngest investigator is 8 and we have been teaching her
through primary songs. So far, we have taught here "Follow the
Prophet" "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam!" and "Book of
Mormon Stories" She has the songs completely memorized and has started
making up choreography to go along with them. I love teaching children!
Anyway, it's getting hot here so we're trying to stay cool!
Until next time!
