I had a great first week with my new companion elder Judd. He's a great missionary, just wants to work hard and help people! I think we'll be just fine this transfer. as for this week we were able to meet with 2 new investigators. the first is one of our ward member's uncle. he just moved to Jinhae area and so this member told us to visit him. So this past week we just knocked on his door and he let us in. we talked for awhile and just got to know him a little bit better. His name is brother Whang In Whan, he lives by himself, hes about 70 years old, his wife lives in america with his son. As we continued to talk he opened up a little and said that he wanted to come to church but was really lazy so he wont come this week. We shared a short message about god before we left and he believes a little about god but not too much. He's really awesome, we just need to get him to act and come to church. This next week we have an appointment with him and will try to help him with that! Our other investigator met us at english class. He just showed up and said he found a free english card somewhere and looked us up online so he came. His name is brother Park jeong ho but he goes by his english name: Dave haha. So as we were having english class we were talking with dave and randomly he asked if our church was in australia. We said ya and asked him why he was wondering and in his broken english said that he will go to australia next year and wants to come to our church because hes met good people here! that was sweet! so we talked to him after english class and gave a short introduction about our church but he didnt really know who god was and he had no idea who jesus christ was... so we explained very simply who they were and how we are all god's children. He seemed to accept it all and didnt really have any questions. So the next day at church we were expecting him to come but he never showed up... he didnt answer his phone and even now isnt answering his phone. super frustrating! but im sure he will come to english class and meet with us again! hopefully we didnt just lose another investigator. besides those two investigators we tried to visit members but all of them got cancelled.. this next week will be good if we are able to meet with these investigators! have a good week everyone! thank you for everything!
