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!!

6 weeks!!!

Ahh so this week was my 6 week mark!!!!!

I can't believe I have been in Korea for 6 weeks.  Where has time gone?
We had to go to Busan for our 6 week training and I got to see Sister Brady, and Sister Kim who I served with in the MTC.  We were all really excited to each other.  It's crazy that we are all in Korea speaking Korean and not in the MTC any more.

On our way back home my companion and I had to take a train and a bus to get home.  And when we were on the train we had this guy come up to us and tell us he was Jesus.  And at first I didn't think I was understanding him correctly.  But he kept telling us he was Jesus and it was super weird, we didn't know what to say so we kinda just walked off quickly.  Then when we were on the bus to go home this drunk guy sat next to me.  And I was on the inside seat so I was trapped.  He kept fanning me with his fan and asking me where I was from.  While I was answering my companion was sitting in front of me just laughing.  Then out of nowhere he just grabs my water bottle which was in my hand and just chugged all the water in it.  And then just threw the water bottle to the front of the bus and we were in the back and then just continued to fan me and it was the weirdest experience of my life and I was so glad when he left.

This week we also went and did a service project at a less active member's farm.  The elders were outside scooping horse poop and we were inside sweeping and fighting off spiders and cleaning spider webs.  Can I tell you that Korea has so many spiders and they are everywhere!!  And they're not little cute spiders they are huge spiders and they are disgusting!!! But it was a fun service project and we got feed all the horses which was fun and they even have a horse named Jayne!!!  Ahh i was pretty excited.

We made banana bread! And I am very impressed that it actually worked.  We had to substitute a lot of the ingredients and we had to make it in a toaster oven.  But it actually turned out good!!  So thanks Mom for teaching me to cook!

That is about it for my week!!!
Love you!!!
