Buddha's Birthday

So this week while we were trying to get home we found out that it was Buddha's birthday because there was a huge parade going on in the middle of our buses route.  And it was super funny when we walked up to our bus to try and figure out how to get home with the parade going, we got so much stuff!  We had this little boy run up to us and give us flowers, and we got a lot of stuff in the 5 mins we were there.  We couldn't stop laughing.  We even got one of the parade decorations from someone. And it all was because I am white.
But this week has been a weird week.  For some reason this week, every single person we have been teaching won't answer our texts or calls and we have had to drop them all.  And it's really confusing, sometimes on the mission you feel like you are doing good and you're actually doing good missionary work.  But then the Lord has a different idea for you and you lose everyone and have to start over again.  I am not going to lie it's really frustrating, but I am learning from it.
Also this week we went to go to our service activity at a women's shelter and we normally go with a american sister in our ward, but this week her car broke down so we couldn't go, so we ended up teaching her Korean as our service activity and then for our English class I ended up teaching Korean to a Philippine member in our ward.  So it's been fun teaching something other then English this week!
