Tuesday i went on splits with Elder Yoon of Korean A it went well. Unfortunately their appointment canceled and we weren't able to teach together. However, recently they told me that she has begun to read the Book of Mormon and i am super excited for them and the small steps that this lady is taking. I love Elder Yoon and i know he cares just in his own different way.
Wednesday i went on splits with Elder Lee. Splits were great and i really enjoyed my time with him. We were able to do some member visits and teach a lesson. I watched Elder Lee teach simply and testify to an investigator and it was good. We even had a good dinner with members. In which I was given the opportunity to be able to push myself linguistically and speak Korean and participate in the dinner conversation that was a huge step in my Korean progression. I also spoke some Russian with someone on splits that was a pleasant surprise and i forgot and remembered more than i thought i would.
Thursday i was back in my area where Elder Jenkins and i were able to have a good weekly planning and discussion.
Friday we had a good district meeting in which with the little extra time we had we discussed what it is that everyone would like to get out of district meeting. The responses were surprisingly varied and good.
Saturday was a good day. We had interviews with our President and it was really good. We talked and discussed things and my future in the mission as well as answer some of my own questions. We also had Dinner with a member in which we were able to serve her by helping her cook the meal and talk about the gospel. I learned how to make Korean sushi(not actually sushi but still the easiest way to describe it to people) called 김법(Kimbop)
Sunday we had a very good day. We had two successful member visits. One in which we were able to strengthen and uplift them as well as invite them to read the scriptures everyday together. It was kind of weird because this guys is really really wealthy and from a different culture and here we are two middle class white guys inviting him to repent and become better. The other the great thing to come of it is that we received the permission to visit their LA(less active) son who lives near them. Which is really good because earlier in an effort to get to know everyone in the branch we already met him and had a meeting him.
The big miracle of the past week is that we were able to set up two appointments with a couple of our English class lessons. This is so exciting. The work is picking up! The branch is excited about the fireside (or at least we are going to do everything we can to help them be so). Good flyer's are going to be designed as well as effective referral cards for it. WE are going to take this thing and make it big!!!
On the personal side I'm doing good.I love the work and the people and can't wait to make God proud everyday
