1 YEAR!!!!

I HAVE BEEN IN KOREA FOR ONE YEAR!!!!  So because of that this week we have been trying to do things differently.  Especially our proselyting.  As missionaries it is really easy to get in a grove and stick with it.  And I am trying to get out of that grove because once we are out of our comfort zone that is when we see the miracles.  The Lord is always wanting to improve us, but it's when we are outside of our comfort zone.  So this week we went with the Elders and did white board proselyting.  We just wrote on a board, "What is a Mormon?" and then stood and just asked people questions.  We got a lot of weird looks and a lot of rejection.  But you could tell people were really interested because they would walk by and ask there friends what a Mormon was.  And if we could give them a card they would look at the card for a long time.  So it was really interesting.

My companion and I also this week did a proselyting activity where we couldn't say anything we normally say to people.  So it was super hard, but super funny.  We ended up going up to people saying we're Mormon, we are that church people(pointing to our church), or I am American and she is not American(pointing to my companion), what is the elder church believe in?  It was really awkward and funny, but as we have been doing these different activities we are seeing more people have interest in us and not just ignore us.  So that has been a really cool experience.

Also this week one day we were getting ready in the morning and we got a call from our AP's telling us we had to grab our 72 hour kits and leave right NOW and go to Busan.  And we had just gotten up so we were not ready at all so we asked if we could have 10 minutes to get ready and they said no we had to go now.  So we put on clothes and ran out of the door and got on a bus as fast as we could. And it was so funny, my companion has colored lenses and she only had one in when we got on the bus.  And our outfits were not the very good and we hadn't gotten ready at all. It ended up being a n emergency drill that turned into a conference to say good bye to President and Sister Barrow so we got to see all the missionaries randomly.  It was a super funny and fun experience.
