Week 68

hello everyone!

so the big news of this week: our investigator brother yang jae hong went to seoul for the next 3 weeks! ahhh! so we wont be able to meet with him for a little while... so close. haha but he said that he will come back and want to meet with us again and learn more! so we kinda lost an investigator for a little bit but we will contact him today and see how hes doing. This week we had a cool experience going to a college and giving a presentation about our church in front of a group of about 20 old people. it was sweet because a lot of them didnt know too much about our church and they got a basic introduction to it. we showed the restoration video to all of them and talked a little bit about how our church was again established on the earth. ive seen that video a million times but watching it again still brought the same spirit and a confirmation from the holy ghost that this is the true church! what a wonderful blessing. through this presentation we were able to find an investigators for the sister to teach. as far as the others, we will see how they turn out. we werent able to meet with brother lee min gun this week because he was busy, but he came to church again! i guess that shows he still has interest. the members are all still doing great and my companion elder noh is awesome. just a slow week, this week will be better!

Week 67

Hi Everyone

we had a great week this week! our investigator yang jae hong is really starting to progress more and more. we met with him twice last week and when we taught the plan of salvation he said that he really likes our church. he said that he gets a good feeling of peace that he doesnt get in other churches! it was funny because he was wondering why more people dont go to our church and then he said in english "i must spread this church to korean people". haha but he's doing very well. we testified to him that the feeling of peace and comfort was from God. That the feelings he was having were answers to his questions if God really does exist. honestly my companion and i were a little stressed out that week because we had lots of preparation to do for district meeting, but after that lesson we also felt that same peaceful feeling. having an investigator say that and make small steps like yang jae hong is the best feeling!

we also met a new investigator this week. his name is brother Lee min geun. he saw one of our english flyers and called us saying he wants to learn english and also wants to know a little about our church! and the only time he had last week was on sunday before 2! haha so he came to church and attended sacrament meeting with us. after, we had a ward lunch and it was awesome. our members fellow shipped him and sat with him before we even could! we didnt get a chance to talk much after because he had an appointment, but he is a really friendly guy and just wants to learn! 

love you all, sorry again i didnt have too much to write, have a great week!

Week 66

not a lot of time today, we went to busan today for transfer meeting and then my companion elder noh young joo had a district leader training meeting. this week was really busy with all the preparation we did for our halloween party! it was really fun and we had a lot of families that werent members come join us. also we talked after to one of our investigators brother hong woo shik just briefly. we were having casual conversation and out of no where said that he is reading the book of mormon every time he gets sad or has a hard time. he said that it helps him to know that god will help him! it was really nice to hear because we havent been able to meet with him for a little while it seems. also yang jae hong is still trying to know for a fact that god exists. when we met with him he actually prayed for the first time out loud. we are praying so hard for him everyday and fasted for him this past week. we just started a new transfer together and are hoping to see lots of miracles this next 6 weeks! really excited! 
have a good week! 

사랑해요!
