this week was really great! so we were actually able to meet the guy that came to english class last week! his name is brother hong woo shik and his friends name is brother yang jae hong. we actually met them twice this week. they have a lot of interest in english and also about the gospel. in our mission we do a 30/30 program. we can meet with them one on one and teach them english for 30 minutes and the gospel for 30 minutes. so when we met with them, it turned out to be talking about the gospel for 1 hour, half in english and half in korean haha pretty nice. apparently brother hong woo shik lives in a different area so we might have to refer him to the other elders soon. but, his friend yang jae hong lives in our area and he has a lot of interest in the gospel. hes had a rough life and he just wants to know how this can help him. he doesnt believe in god but he wants to. we were able to teach him part of the restoration and commit him to read the book of mormon. he doesnt say much so we asked him what he thought about the book of mormon and he just mumbled some stuff told us to keep teaching him haha once he believes in god i think that itll turn out well for him. then he will really be able to see how the gospel can change his life forever. when we met him the second time we also invited him to pray and he said he would! he will continue to meet with us and wants to learn more!
also yesterday we were proselyting on the street and met a guy that is in a similar situation. he wants to learn english from us and also is a little curious about church. we will meet him tomorrow but hopefully it goes well! we finally are getting some investigators in daemyeong!
we were able to watch general conference at the church the past weekend and it was awesome! i really like looking for patterns or a basic message that everyone focuses on. i think this general conference was, very simply, "be a good person". it seemed like a lot of the talks focused on helping others, be kind, be generous, do your part. i loved president uchtdorf's simple phrase "do your part and it will be glorious!" (something like that) i really thought about that as we do missionary work. a lot of people dont want to listen but if we "do our part" then we will eventually find someone and be able to help them. how glorious will that be??! super glorious! just remember that! itll all work out if we do our part! have a good week everyone, love you all!
