Tender Mercies

The Lord works in such cool ways!!
This week we have been going out and proselyting and nobody is out because it has been raining and because of tests.  We will be walking for over and hour and we maybe will see one guy.  And because we can't talk to guys it is really strange.  My companion and I decided to say a prayer and read some scripture about faith.  So we started walking and at every corner we would decide which way to go and if we didn't have a feeling where to go we would rock paper, and scissor it.  And we ended up going on this really weird route that brought us in pretty much a big circle.  And we finally passed these two girls and started taking to them about the gospel and we were able to give them a Book of Mormon and get their numbers to talk to meet them later.  And we were super exited about that and not even 2 minutes later we met two other girls and were able to give them Book of Mormons and got their phone numbers to meet with them again.  And it was just a really cool experience to see that if we trust God that he will put people in our path to share the gospel with.

We also had a couple of other little Miracles this week.  We went and visited a less active member this week and she lives in the middle of nowhere and there was no buses that went to her house so we decide to jump on our bikes to go visit her and then on the way we found a bus that would drop us off a couple of miles away from her house.  So we jumped on the bus and locked our bikes up nearby and then we were walking to her house and this guy had seen us walking and pull over and gave us some drinks.  And it was just a cool tender mercy that the Lord really looks out for us.  And then later in the week we were walking and this guy gave us umbrellas because we were doing good, and it might rain soon.  So we have had a week full of tender mercies.

We met with this guy this week that has been wanting to meet with us because we're foreigners.  And he told us to invite all our religious brother and sister over for some luxurious coffee.  So we explained to him that we don't drink coffee.  So when we got there he sat us down and said " because you don't drink coffee we will have tea!" and he started to explain that this tea is worth over 3000!!! dollars a cup.  And the whole entire time he was talking we're trying to explain that don't drink tea! And he kept saying I have met missionaries, you can drink tea.  Everyone drinks tea. And it was just a struggle.  He gave up trying to get us to drink tea and just started talking to me about America and his travels and he would only talk to me because I was white no one else!!!  It was so awkward and i didn't know what to do.  I don't think we're going to visit him again because he had no gospel interest whatsoever and it was just a weird experience.

Love you all!!!

Here are some photos of the Korean country






This is random, but I see stray dogs here and I always pet them.  So now they kinda follow us sometimes and they are super excited to see me.  Don't tell Scout!  Also I absolutely refuse to eat dog.  Some Elders in my area did and I won't talk to them now because of it.  They went looking for dog to eat and I don't know how anyone could do that!!
