Time flew by pretty darn fast this
last week. I started it off well by
getting toe surgery again. I didn’t like
being able to understand what they were saying.
They kind of messed up on the shot, and then they were talking about how
serious my toe was, and yeah. I wish my
toe had been a bit more numb, I don’t like being able to feel them jabbing
stuff under my nail. My toe wasn’t
supposed to get wet, but it’s been really rainy so it got soaked. Hopefully it’s ok!
We have a new investigator! His name is Kim Sheekchul, he’s in his 70’s,
and we met him on the street. He said he
wanted to meet us again because we were cute.
Hah he’s attending another church very seriously and seems pretty
converted to that church. But we gave
him a BoM, so hopefully he read some and recognized its truth. I don’t know if I’ve said it before, but
Korea has sooo many churches! It is
insane! People that go seem to be either
way into it with a super strong belief, or not belief at all. A lot of people just go for the social
aspect, but don’t believe in God or anything.
So when we share a message about a loving God who still cares, well, not
many people accept. It doesn’t help that
there are crazy churches here where people claim to be the resurrected Christ
or even Heavenly Mother. So people just
put our church in the same group as these ones.
And don’t even get me started on the pastors!
Anyways, as for our investigators, we
told the Jo family and another lady we meet with that this next week is the
last week for English. Hopefully they
still meet for the gospel! I think the family
will. They love us too much to stop.
Kim Hyobong is the same. He never reads because he says it hurts his
head, so we told him to listen online. I
think he will since we’ve been telling him so many times to do it.
Kim Youngyur (came to church once,
English interest) is doing well. He says
that ever since meeting with us his interest has been growing a lot. He didn’t read last time though, so we could
see a pretty big difference in him. I
told him it was probably my last time and he got pretty sad. Really sad actually. He’s a great guy and I’ll miss him if I end
up leaving.
We finally met Melinda again! She’s our Filipina less active. She’s super great and says her dream is to
just serve God and be a missionary.
Hopefully we can help her do it!
Yup, it was a pretty good week and we
usually had things to do which is always nice.
It seems like it was my last full week here in Iksan. I’m still not completely sure, but I’ll find
out in just a bit. I’ve learned a lot
here and it feels like I can never leave, like this is my area. I’ve seen a lot of progress in myself and
this area. I’ve really been blessed with
a great experience.
Love, Elder Jace Anderson
