NO time!! ahhh

Hi!
So today has been so busy so we don't have very much time to email.  Some of our members from hogue (My last area) wanted to take us on a big pday road trip and show us all the tourist sites in a different city so we have been doing that all day.  It was super fun!  We went to some really old Buddhist temples and to a place that had a huge Buddhist person inside a mountain which was really cool.  We also ate lunch and went and drank out of the fountain of youth!  hahah so I think I will be young forever now!!  Super fun!!

This week has been really good.  Our investigator that didn't get baptized, came to church yesterday so she is still going strong and we are trying to still get her moms permission. Well I have no time.  Love ya'll!!

T-Minus 6 weeks and counting

This week we had transfer calls and I will now be only a one area missionary!!  Our areas got split! So I am now only in Shinjeong and I am a Sister Training Leader with my same companion!  So that means we will be together for 3 transfers!  So we will see what the Lord has in plan for us this transfer.

This week we went to one of our member's houses and we taught her how to make carrot cake and brownies, because they LOVE them and you can't find them in Korea.  It was so fun and they were so excited!  They even taught me how to make a cucumber kimachi and so now I am so excited that I can make it when I am home!!!

We also went with one of our members and got Japanese food and so there are pictures of that.  It was really funny, we set an appointment with one of our members in one of our branches and another member from a different branch showed up and we were super confused.  It turns out they have become like best friends 2 weeks ago and are going on vacations together and hang out all the time it was super funny.
We also had mission tour this week!  Which was super fun!  We got to go back to Degu and it was super fun!  We had to get up at 4am because we had other sisters staying the night with us.  It was super fun and we learned so much!  It is so crazy how the mission is changing and how we talk to people and find people is changing.  So it will be super interesting to see how it continues.

We also got to music night this week where our whole zone performed a songs that we have been practicing.  It turned out really good, we had a lot of people show up and during it we had people who have been baptized in the last year share their testimonies.

We also went with Jen, our investigator, and she wanted to go and show us a King's Garden.  So we went to the King's Garden and after ate lunch with her and gave her the commitment to read the Book of Mormon with real intent.  So we will see how that will go!

Well love you tons!

Things are okay......

So I want to update you all on this week.  The biggest thing is our investigator didn't get baptized.  We haven't been able to meet with her and her mom since we heard that she couldn't get baptized.  So it was super sad, but the good news is she came to church on Sunday!  So there is still hope in the future for her.  We are planning and focusing on visiting her and her mom and try to get permission before the end of this transfer.

We also had interviews this week and we ended up going to Busan last minute.  And when I say last minute, we got told a couple of hours before we had to go up so we had to cancel all our plans for the day.  But it was super fun we got to see one of our single couples in the mission before we left and we had a really good interview.  We got told that we have to use our talents when we go and talk to people and it will be interesting.  I have a problem because Korean girls don't like sports so I already know that I can't play volleyball to find people.  So I am trying to find out what talents I have that I can use.

 We went to a service project this week where we served food to a bunch of old grandmas and grandpas.  And I have never met more picky people in my life!  All I was doing was putting a pepper on a plate, but I was getting told how many, where to put them, what size the have to be, make sure there was enough sauce with it, and more.  I didn't know you could put peppers on a plate so many ways!!

We also taught primary this week because all of our ward primary teachers got released and it was crazy.  While I was teaching the lesson I turned around and wrote something on the board and when I turned around everyone in the room was gone including the teacher and my companion was just sitting there listing to me it was really funny.  Korean kids are really hard to control because they don't listen to you and they just kick really hard, so next week will be a challenge.  But it will be a fun challenge.

Nothing much sorry this is boring, but I love you all!!!!
Have a fantastic week

Yep missionary work

This week has been interesting.
So the biggest news has actually happened while I have been emailing.  Our investigator that has a baptism date for this Sunday, her mom just texted us and told us we don't have permission to baptize her yet..... so that is a bit of a shocker.  So we are going to try and meet with her this week and see if we can still get her mom's permission.  I'll keep you updated!

Other then that we have had a good week!  We found a really pretty look out place and we even found a investigator there that knew one of our members.  So we met with her again on Sunday with our church member.

We also went and had lunch with a couple of our ward members this week and they took us to a restaurant that gave us over 20 side dishes!  It was so much food, but it was super good.

I also went to the hospital with my comp this week because her foot was hurting her.  They ended up doing  acupuncture to her foot because that's what they do here for pain.  And she was in a little bit of culture shock and was freaking out the whole entire time telling them all that she wants to go to America.  So let's just say that Korean medicine and American medicine are completely different.
Sorry not too much this week.
Have a good week!!
