Week 50

hello everybody!

so sorry my emails havent been that great lately but theres a lot
thats been going on here in andong! so our other investigator, the one
that has been meeting with us and preparing for his baptism on the
19th, brother Kim Jin Hoon, hasnt come to church and just recently
started ignoring our phone calls... i dont know whats going on, but we
are having a little trouble with him lately. His mom is very against
church and is holding him back a little. Hes like 35 years old but has
a slight mental problem so it might be a little harder for him to
recieve baptism. on the other hand our other investigator brother Lee
Chan Goo was able to meet with us this past week twice. He is really
excited for baptism and is preparing well. he doesnt say much but is
really working hard. we talked to him about the commandments and why
God gives us commandments for our benefit. Its really nice to see
someone so willing to accept and follow them. Brother Lees faith is
very strong and he just wants to do whats right. I love him! He gave
up smoking before and has some allergy to alchohol or something so I
know hes been prepared by God to recieve this great blessing before
the missionaries even met him. so by next pday i hope to be writing
all about our investigators entering the waters of baptism!
This past week we also had interviews with our new mission president,
president Barrow and his wife and 17 year old son Ben. His style seems
completely different from president Gilberts but at the same time,
just as hard working and faithful. Im looking forward to serving with
him! All mission presidents seem to have some of the same
characteristics, like a loving heart and humility. when i met with
president barrow i thought about president Phillip Stoker from our
stake and how hes pretty much that same exact "mission president" mold
haha so loving and humble. well thats all for this week! this upcoming
week will be a good one, i know this church is true and how much this
gospel can bless everyones lives! love you all, talk to you soon!
