well i didnt get transfered so thats good! also my companion is staying with me and only one of the zone leaders got transferred. the new zone leader that came in is my old district leader, elder campbell! so he will be living with us now and will probably serve in jinhae for his last 4 transfers. this week was really good and i learned a lot today at the transfer meeting we had at the mission office. President gilbert talked to us about a new way of teaching investigators with the book of mormon. often times as missionaries we share scriptures that are applicable to the investigators situation or share promised blessings they can recieve, but more often then not, that's about it. president gilbert now wants us to share book of mormon stories with investigators and members instead of just a few verses. I really think this new way of teaching will be able to help investigators learn and also feel the spirit more in their conversion. if we share these stories, the investigators can really put themselves in that person's shoes and understand how a certain principle can help them directly. so that was really cool, hopefully we can try that with our investigators this week. also last week we found a new investigator through basketball! he can speak english pretty well and wants to practice with us and is pretty open about religion. he is christian so he has a lot of solid foundation already. we havent met with him yet but we should this next week!
Kim Iksu's younger brother hisu, we were able to talk with him again this week. we talked a little bit about baptism and why it is important. after we met i also kinda thought more about why it is important to be baptized. i thought a lot about being brought out of the water and how that signifies being reborn and our commitment to follow jesus christ's example throughout the rest of our lives, not just by being baptized. ive been thinking about that a lot since the zone leaders had a baptism yesterday. brother han dae gor got baptized yesterday and will be confirmed next week! so exciting for him, he said he felt like this church is exactly what hes been looking for in his life and now hes found it. really cool. not a ton of time again today since we went to busan and back, but thank you all for your prayers and love, i love you all and may god be with you!
