Philippians and cockroaches

This week has been a super good week full of Philippians.  So during this transfer we have been looking for new investigators to teach and we have been praying and fasting to find some one who is ready to hear the gospel.  And these past couple of weeks we have just been finding people from the Philippians who are willing to listen to our message.  They are the most humble people I have ever met and they are so willing to listen to our message.  And because of that were just finding them everywhere we go.  The other day we found a couple of girls from the Philippians that are Jehovah Witnesses and they were so fun and we're going to meet with them this week and see what they believe and try and get them interested in this gospel.

Another thing that happened this week is we had another incident with the cockroach!!!  Yes now it is plural, we have two of them!!!!  Ahhh they are so disgusting!  So one day we were coming home and we always first go and check and see if the cockroaches are out and we didn't see any so we sat down and all of the sudden we saw one run across the ground.  So while we were looking for it, we found it in its normal place above the cupboard.  But it got there super fast, so we started moving some of our stuff around and another one jumped out at us!!!!  And it was huge!!  So we ran and got the vacuum and called our DL and told him we were leaving our house and ran outside of our house with the vacuum.  And once we got outside we were just staring at our vacuum because we didn't know what to do with it.  And a random Korean guy came over to see what we were doing and we told him we had a huge cockroach in our vacuum.  So he laughed at us and  emptied it out for us.  So we still have one cockroach in our house that we can't find, but we killed one!!!  So we're are still continuing the battle of killing the cockroach this week.
Love you all!

Toby...

So this week we have been having a lot of things happen.  The first one is Toby... Toby is the name we gave to the cockroach that is living in our house with us.  We have been trying to killing him all week and we have been failing.  So somehow he got from our laundry room to our kitchen and he is living above the cupboards in out kitchen.  And I so don't want him to come out, so we have trapped him in and so at least I know he is just going to be stuck there for a while!  We have also been trying to make different traps to get him out so we can kill him, but nothing is working very well.

Another thing that happened this week is while I was having family night in one of my areas, one of the Elders told me to come down stairs and when we came down stairs there was our branch president and his wife from my training area in Miryang!!!  It was such a good surprise!!  It was so good to be able to see them again and to be able to actually talk to them!

Another thing that happen is we have English class every single week, and some of our members bring their children to the class to learn English and they're crazy and no one will teach them but me.  But they are super fun and I love them!  And this week they came and gave me banana milk because it is one my favorite thing about Korea and they remembered that I like it!  It was one of the sweetest things I have ever gotten on my mission.  It was one of the biggest tender mercies.  This last week I felt like I was putting in so much effort to loving the people around me, serving my companion, and just trying my best.  And I felt like nobody cared for me.  But when I got this banana milk I just felt that someone cared for me and loved me here in Korea and it's something I haven't felt that much in my last couple of transfers, and it just reminded me that God loves me and he is looking out for me.  And it was a really great blessing and a good lesson that I learned from banana milk.  And funny enough I didn't get to have any of it because the elders and my companion drank it all.  But it didn't matter because of the love I felt from Heavenly Father and the members.

have a good week!! love ya!

magical cockroach

So this week had been a week full of crazy adventures.  The first thing that happen was one of our investigators moved to Australia and is now trying to meet the missionaries there!  So we are super excited that she is continuing to meet with the missionaries!!
The next thing is we got to go hiking with one of our investigators form the Philippians.  She is so cute and she wanted to take us on a hike so we could have our weekly "prayer session" on the top of the mountain and it was super cool hike with all of these boulders everywhere.

The next thing that happened is it is getting super hot in Korea again.  And our AC is broken, so we have been having fans on all night to keep us cool.  And one night it was super hot so I went to get another fan.  And I didn't have my glasses on and I saw this black thing move... So I went and got my glasses on and this huge cockroach came out of nowhere and it was in our laundry room.  It is so big!!!  So my companion and I decided we had to kill it before we went to bed.  So we took everything out of the laundry room and would throw it out our door and we couldn't find it!  So we decided it was in our suitcases so we would take one of them out at a time and dump everything out and we still couldn't find it.  WE TOOK EVERYTHING OUT AND IT WAS NOT THERE!!  We have no clue where it was.  We decided it must of gone down the drain.  So we went to bed and then randomly it showed up again!!!!  The next night!  And so we did everything again and we still can't find that stupid cockroach!!  It is so bad!!  So yeah... the magical cockroach.
We also started teaching a new investigator through Skype.  She is too sick to leave her hospital and no one can visit her.  So we are teaching her through Skype and it's super interesting, we will see how it will go!!
It was also transfer day today and I got a new companion!!  She is super cute  and from Utah and I will send a picture and more info next week! Love ya!
