DEAD things

This week has been a busy week.  We started off the week going and visiting one of our less active members.  She is in her 90's and she lives alone in the middle of nowhere.  And the only reason she is less active is because she lives so far away.  So we took an hour long bus ride and then walked 2 hours to her house.  The entire walk to her house it was pouring and we were finding dead frogs on the road. They were everywhere.  And my companion and one of the elders were freaking out, because they have never seen frogs in their life or dead animals.  Ahh so funny.  They are both from Seoul and apparently they don't have animals there at all.  Once we got to her house she didn't answer the door or her phone. And we all started to worry because we tried to visit her last week and she didn't answer then either.  So we were all thinking she was dead!  We decided we better go and check and make sure she wasn't dead because we are the only ones that ever visit her.

So after searching for a while we found a door that was unlock and we made the elders go inside because we didn't want to find a dead person.  And it turns out she is NOT DEAD!!!!  We were so happy!  They house was empty.  So after a lot of phone calls we found out she was in Busan visiting family for a month!

On Sunday we also went on a Guitar and Banana bread tour!  So we had a lot of members not show up to church on Sunday so we decided to go and do a quick visit to them giving them banana bread and my companion singing you are my sunshine to them.  And it was so funny because we found out that old Korean people do not like you are my sunshine.  Every member that we sang it to them, told us they didn't like it and that we should come back next week with a better song.  So we are going to go again next week with a different song!!  But because of our guitar and banana bread tour we got two member referrals from them!  And we haven't gotten a member referral here in over a year so we are super excited for that!!

Love you all and hope you enjoyed conference!! I get to watch it this week in English and I am so excited about that, it is like Christmas for me!!!
love you!!
