called to korea: happy fourth!

So my week. Last p-day (Monday) we went to 반월당, a huge shopping area. I got two epic five dollar skirts that are so light weight and heavenly. :) And we took these epic sticker pictures. Its a huge thing in Korea.

Tuesday our whole day pretty much fell to pot and felt wasted. I hope that something happened that was beneficial on that day...

Wednesday was the marathon day. We ran full force after our bus for like a half mile, like straight up sprinting and missed it by literally ten seconds but they dont stop for anyone. Not even two crazy Americans running after it. Our investigator 추지민 was helping us find our member's house so we could drop off a message card for her less active daughter and we saw many miracles. Aside from wandering lost for an hour and a half in the hottest weather and sweating to the point that I couldnt sweat anymore because there was no more water left in me, it was amazing! We got two new contacts who are very interested. Right there when we were talking to them our investigator started being the best missionary ever and telling them to meet with us and learn more about Christ and to come to church and that she would even pick them up and take them. It was so humbling! We have had many fears about if she was really ready for baptism or not and that really helped settle my fears. That day was seriously the most exhausting of my life!!! I got back home and collasped on the floor! We also had to full force run to meet with a member and seriously the Lord was carrying me there because I didn't even have the strength to walk. So many blessings! When we got there she was like "Oh you're all wet!" Why thank you. Yes that would be my sweat.... Hahahahah!!

Thursday we all dressed up for the 4th of July. Even Sister Choi Han-na dressed up with us. It was pretty funny because everyone ended up wearing at least one item of my clothing.

In the morning we had an appointment, and we had some time before so we were walking through the park in the rain. Well this man runs up to us and stops us and proceeds to sing songs in English for the next twenty minutes. In the POURING rain!!! I was trying so hard not to die of laughter!!! He was not the best singer, and only knew one verse if that and kept singing it over and over again. And then we were going to be late to our appointment because he wouldn't stop, so we had to book it to her house so we showed up with dirt splashed on our legs and soggy feet. :) hehe Gotta love being a missionary!! The investigator again asked what type of man I like....Bless her heart!! She needs to just let it go!!!

That night be had corn dogs for dinner. But you see in Korea they roll them in sugar and put ketchup on them. We also had McDonald's fries and red, white, and blue ice cream. We were trying to be as American as possible. The cute sisters we live with also bought a cake and sparking juice. The cute Korean sister, Sister Choi also bought us all party hats that were white with blue stars on them. We had ice cream the next morning - hey it was still the Fourth in the States! :)

Friday we went to a Hawaiian restaurant with Pearl our less active from Guam. Not too bad. They even had Loco Moco! Mind you it was all fancy and Koreanized. :)

Saturday my English class starting talking about their favorite alcoholic beverages....bless their hearts! But I had an awesome opportunity to explain our beliefs on the matter and even talk about polygamy and the church's position with it all. Really cool. That night we went to a less actives baby's 100 day birthday. It is huge here!! You go to a really really nice restaurant and they pay for everything and have a whole production. It was really cool to be a part of it. That night we ended up getting home late. Like past the 9:30 late mark. Which apparently means it is reported to the area 70.... awesome.... No idea what that means. I guess I could be kicked out of the mission soon. ;) Hahahaha no just kidding!!! I don't think anything will even be said. It was just our first time. Okay well it might have happened my first transfer, but I can't remember.... :S Hahaha.

On Sunday, our cute investigator sat by me at church and wrote me the cutest note in Korean saying that she loves meeting with us and that she prays a lot and really tries to be good. It was so cute and tender! We had dinner that night with members and our elders. It was so much fun! The sister is an amazing cook!!! I was dying it was so good!!!

Okay well that is the general low down on my week. I love you all so much!! Thank you for all your emails and love. I can't even try to express how much it means to me! I love you all so much and miss you like crazy all the time! The mission is so awesome and I love it! I pray for you all and can't wait until we are all back together. Keep the faith and stay strong. Even the rain is beautiful. Trust me I would know! Thank you for the amazing people you all are!!!

From the bottom of my heart and with all my love!
