ya this week was really good in my new area andong! it really is a countryside place but the people are very humble and nice people. This last week we met with an investigator named brother kim jin hoon and talked about the word of wisdom and coming to church. he has a slight mental problem but is still able to be on his own. we talked and shared the scripture mosiah 2:41 and helped him to see that people who keep the commandments will have never ending happiness. He is working very hard and progressing a lot. he's had problems with smoking but is starting to get over it through prayer and reading the book of mormon. we actually invited him to be baptized and he said yes! his date is july 13 so we will help him prepare for that as best we can! We also met another investigator named brother Lee sang hoon and his mom. His mom is a member but he has been investigating the church for awhile now. hes a really humble guy and just wants to be happy. we talked about scripture study and why it is important to read the book of mormon in order to know if this church is true or not. Its a little bit sad to see, but it seems like he doesnt have a lot of hope in his life. he works, watches world cup, and lives with his mom still. not a lot of friends and not a lot going on. when we met with him i really just thought about the blessing it is to a part of this gospel, to enjoy the blessings that come from it. maybe just because im a missionary or something but it seems like there is always something we can be doing that will help us progress!
our branch in andong has about 40 members that attend and they are all really nice! ive met with a couple of them and all of them just want to help the missionaries. all the youth there are really fun and have strong testimonies too! apparently if members ever take you out to eat, its always something called ChimDak. its chicken, vegetables, and noodles in a brown sauce thats really good! basically andong is sweet and i hope i stay here awhile! hope you all have a good week! love you!\
