It feels like i havent written very much the past couple of weeks but its been a very nice few weeks. last week was the korean holiday chuseok, kinda like korean thanksgiving. and this past week was stake conference! so in the past couple of weeks, its been a little tough with our investigators. brother Lee sang hoon is still not answering our calls and is very hard to reach. so he has been dropped and we will see if he contacts us later. also kim jin hoon hasnt kept commitments and hasnt come to church for the past couple of times he said he would. he will also be dropped and hopefully picked up later by some other missionaries. we met with jason kim again and talked about jesus christ and why he is important. He really wants to believe in God and Jesus Christ but wont act. We invited him to act and be baptized after he knows about God and Jesus Christ but he kindly declined and said he needed more time to study these things. then he actually went back to the U.S. last week without saying good bye. brother Lee Joong Hui was sick and hasnt been able to meet for a few weeks, its been about 3 weeks since we met with him now. It seems like we are starting over in andong, but thats ok! we cant waste time with non progressing investigators, and i still believe that lee joong hui has a lot of potential. At stake conference we learned a lot about "opening your mouth" and loving the savior. it seemed like and almost perfect subject for us because we are now on the grind for new investigators! something i really liked in the talks was asking yourself "how much do I love the savior?" and then showing you love him instead of just saying it. me and my companion are really trying to find new people and are talking to everyone every chance we get.
Also in the past couple of weeks, there was a referral given by a member to the sisters. this sisters name is pak jong soon. she has been meeting with the sisters and occasionally with us during the past couple of weeks and committed to baptism! she has been taking the lessons and the sister missionaries did a great job in helping her! I was lucky to be able to give the baptism to her yesterday after stake conference! also we had a member turn 8 and he also got baptized yesterday. so lots of good things are happening in andong, we just need to keep it going! hopefully you all can do the same and show the savior you love him by opening your mouth. love you all and thank you!
