Well, it has officially been 1 year
and a half since I started this journey.
It’s crazy to think that if I were a sister missionary I would be done
already. I’m glad that’s not the case
because I would feel like I accomplished so little. I’m hoping to do a bit more here in the last
quarter.
This last week was just super cold and
snowy. So much snow!! And it’s not like Utah where it just falls
straight, this stuff attacks you from all sides with some evil wind as well (it
froze my hair…). We spent a lot of time
yesterday pushing cars up the hill outside the church which was fun but
tiring. Good opportunity though. Stinkin’ Korea and its lack of snow plows and
rock salt. We spent a lot of time just
outside sliding around in the cold trying to talk with grumpy cold people. Good times.
We met with Oh Wanyoung (the guy we
met on the street) and our ward mission leader.
It went pretty well but he got suuuper overloaded on information. He sent a text to us later saying that he
doesn’t think this is right for him so he dropped us which was pretty sad.
On the bright side we met with Darius,
this awesome black guy from Liberia that we met on the street several weeks
ago. We taught him about the restoration
which he accepted pretty well. All the
African people I met have been super open-minded. Sometimes I get a little jealous…but it’s all
good.
We have this funny old guy that we
meet and do our English program with. He
has a hard time understanding us and our message, but he came out to Sunday
school! He has his church he goes to so
he says he can’t come to ours. We’re trying
to help him understand that there can only be one truth. We’re thinking of dropping Jang Yehoon
(rapper kid) because he’s just going backwards and doesn’t show interest or any
desire to progress anymore.
Our investigators are pretty stagnant
right now. It’s been awhile since we’ve
had a progressing investigator. People
just can’t see the importance of what we are teaching, don’t really care, and
aren’t willing to change their lives, especially from the invitation of 2 young
white kids. But it only takes the 1, and
that’s why I’m still going. One of these
days things will start picking up.
We talked about the Sabbath in church,
so I’d like to invite you all to think about what you can do to make it a more
special day or maybe what you can stop doing.
Always remember that man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath
for man. Thank you for all that you do,
have a great week!
Love,
Elder Jace Anderson
