This week was pretty similar to last
week. The weekdays went by well and
fast, and the weekend was just kind of slow and painful. But we did find 2 new people through some
great miracles! The first one’s name is
Hwang Namgil. We got a random text from
someone saying that they attend a Protestant church but have interest in and
want to learn about the Book of Mormon.
Awesome! That never happens! We set up an appointment and met him the next
day. He’s a super cool guy and accepted
it pretty well. He doesn’t really
believe his own church or even God, but was curious about the BoM. He was really great but we haven’t been able
to contact him since (same with Kim Yusheen), so we are worried that they may
have consulted with their pastors.
Our second guy was cool too! We were walking on the street and came to a
stoplight where 2 guys were waiting. I
walked up next to the one on the right and looked over at them, but then backed
out and went to the guy on the left. I
started talking with him and found out he’s a Buddhist but open to new
things. He’s probably around 45-50 years
old, kind of an odd guy but really nice.
We talked about religion and stuff and ended up walking him to the
church to show him and we had a lesson also!
He’s not like interested to see if it’s the religion for him, but he’s
curious and open and we are meeting him again this evening!
We had a member lesson with Lee
Dongchan before he went to the Philippines, and besides him bringing green tea
pancakes it went awesome! We just have
to wait a month for him to come back.
So remember that time those old people
made me eat tons of rice? Well, they did
it again. It was painful, but I put down
4 bowls of it!! I was so proud of
myself, and in pain, but I avoided offending them.
I went on a split with Elder Esplin in
the neighboring ward. He’s from Salt
Lake and went to Skyline I think so he knows Matt Wilcox. He’s on his 2nd transfer but is already
super good at Korean. He’s a funny guy,
so it was a good time and we taught a great lesson to our rap loving Jang
Yehoon about Alma 36 and the word of wisdom.
We saw some weird stuff including
sketchy activities and lot and lots of missionaries from other churches. There was even this guy with a giant
megaphone strapped to his back yelling at people to repent and believe in Christ. Not the best way to do it.
I’m preparing things for district
meeting about finding joy in the work and I found this cool scripture, John
13:13-17. Go ahead and read it! Thanks for all you do! You guys are the best and I’m grateful for
your examples.
Love, Elder Jace Anderson
A big peace sign!
