This week was pretty normal, though super HOT and HUMID. Especially Wednesday. We went out and tried to advertise for our English class with the Elders, but gave up after 45 minutes and ate Baskin Robbins :P Usually on Jeju there is a pretty refreshing breeze, but on Wednesday, when the wind blew, it felt like someone was aiming a giant hairdryer at us. So much sweat :P 

 

Other eventful news for the week, on Tuesday we helped a member "mow" her lawn. Most Koreans live in an apartment and so don't have lawns, but some people own smaller house thingies (they aern't as nice as apartments) that have small lawns sometimes. This member's lawn was so small that there was almost no point in buying a lawn mower (if you can even buy one in Korea... never seen it), so we helped her cut her lawn using scissors. Yes, just scissors. So that was interesting, and then we helped her clean some cups in the cupboard that had apparently just sat there for 2 years and got covered in mold :P But then she fed us lots of food and taught us how to make some Korean food :) And it is something I can make in America :)

 

On Thursday we had two dinners. We planned to just visit a member for a few minutes, but before we even arrived, she ordered some burgers and chicken wings (you can order everything in Korea, by the way, and it comes quickly by motorcycle :P). So we ate that, and then after we met with her, we had an actual dinner appointment with a lady who is actually from Singapore. Yay food. :P

 

As far as missionary work goes, at the moment we don't have many people to meet with, but we saw some miracles this week that will hopefully pan out into new investigators :P Usually, when we ride the bus, Sis ChoiYuJin and I sit seperately and talk to people if they sit next to us (haha), and one time we both got contacts at the same time with people who we might actually be able to meet with (sometimes we get "useless" contacts who actually don't want to meet but are too nice to tell you that). And on Sunday night, we didn't have much time to go out, but we were doing a religious survey and for a few minutes no one was coming, but then the first person who finally did our survey accepted a Book of Mormon and gave us her contact information, and so we might meet her again :) yay! So we hope that all those people work out and will meet with us :P

 

Ramdomly found this today

Also randomly found this lighthouse

Besides that, not much else to say. Just lots of sweat :P We are now halfway through the transfer (and also the Book of Mormon :P) and it has been so great :) I am so thankful for Sis ChoiYuJin, and I feel like nothing anyone ever does will ever bother me again after last transfer :P I am happy and we are trying to work hard together.

That's all :)
