hey everybody,
how was christmas this past week?? pretty amazing?! christmas in korea was really good here! except for one thing... our investigator, jong min didn't get baptized on the 23rd because we werent able to get his parents permission yet... so its been a little delayed. Im pretty sure we will be able to get his parents permission soon so ill keep you updated on that. that is the hardest thing for korean kids to get baptized, their parents. I think Jong min's parents are coming around though. Another investigator we have Sung Hyun might not get baptized until later in life too. His parents have actually not allowed him to go to church because they hate the idea of church and god... but he wants to get baptized, so when he is older i think he will be baptized!
chirstmas this week was really good! all the missionaries in our mission came the onchoen ward and we had a big missionary party. we watched some mormon messages and listened to president and sister gilbert speak. we had subway catered in and then we all watched Narnia together haha it was really weird watching a movie! after our christmas party we went back to our area and had a bunch of youth at our church so we played games with all of them. On saturday we had a stake youth activity where we had lots of different games, food, perfomances, and testimonies. Since our branch has the most youth in our stake, we prepared a dance to a really popular korean pop song haha Im not sure what the song was called or how to spell it english, but maybe if you search youtube you can find it! maybe type in "ba ba ba jumping korean song" haha maybe you can find it! 5 girls in the pop group wearing white racing outfits and helmets. so that was really funny, me and elder day were helping with the dance and lots of other missionaries were there just laughing haha
yesterday, sunday, was a little bit of a downer. none of our investigators came to church, Jong min went fishing with his dad and another doesnt have a phone so we couldnt contact him. the other investigators name is Min Jay, he didnt coe to church last week either and said he would come this week, but didnt! hopefully he comes next week! after church we met with 3 future missionaries in our branch. 3 sisters are all going to Seoul Korea Mission next month so we all just talked about missionary work and helped them get ready for the mtc. They are really strong spirited! I couldnt really understand what they were saying but i felt the spirit so strongly when they talked about why they wanted to serve missions. woah. they will be really great missionaries for sure! We street contacted a little bit to end the day yesterday and it was pretty rough. Lots of people didnt even respond to us or look at us when we tried talking to them, they are missing out on so much! elder day was pretty surprised by that even after being out for over a year. But next time will be better for sure! just gotta keep trying. Love you all, God be with you!
