MOnday was fun. After email we decided to go to 강남 gangnam. SO that was super super fun. IT's only like a 15 minute subway ride from our area. Super super close so we wanted to go before transfers. anyway, we went to taco bell for lunch which was delicious and then we went and took pics by the gangnam style sign. That was way fun and super cool. That are is mind blowing. We then went to the nicest nike store ever. That was crazy. It was 3 floors, the bottom floor was a basketball court, the middle one was dedicated to running and had 2 treadmills for you to try your running shoes out on before you buy them and the top one was for soccer. it had a press thing so that when you buy your jersey you can customize it right there. The technology was also crazy. They had a box that was just glass or something and a shoe inside and it was like tv on the glass. it was super cool. hard to explain. but yeah. Elder Dayley bought a korean team soccer jersey there, its super nice. Also, super expensive. haha but oh well. Worth it. He got his name and number on it. so way cool. then we went home and relaxed for a little, then we had a lesson with a new investigator named Louis. he's a cool guy. He lived in brazil for 23 years. kinda weird but pretty cool. just wants to study english but we made sure he knew why we were here and was impressed by that. So yeah!
Tuesday was okay. We had 3 appointments but they all cancelled. so itw as okay. We had our studies and lunch and then we fixed our water heater finally. Our showers haven't been like cold but they haven't been warm either haha super annoying but i finally fixed it. :) heck yeah. THen we went out and walked around to a cool area and talked to a nice old man and yeah! He was cool. then we went to the han river and took some pics and thne we came home and had dinner. then elder dayley decided that we needed to work on our records cuz we have like 50,000 haha so we organized them a lot better and organized our records for the rest of the day.
Wednesday was super good we had our studies and then we had district meeting. That was super super good. wow. we talked all about jesus the whole time which was awesome. We watched special witnesses of christ! So good. If you haven't seen it, i highly recommend it. It was filmed in 2000 and is the apostles bearing their testimonies on christ. super powerful. BUt yeah we watched that and it was way good. and then we like shared our testimonies about christ and just the church in general. wow it was powerful. Super good. The scripture i shared was alma 32:27 which says "But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith,yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words." Anyway, the reason being that i feel like often i am at the point of desiring to believe. but i work through it and its okay. :) So hey. yeah there's a little piece of me for ya. after taht we came home and had dinner then got ready for english class and had english class! That was aweosme! It was super fun! But not too much happened. after that we came home and called people.
Thursday was pretty warm! So that was awesome. we got up and had our studies which were good. then we had lunch and made some phonecalls and then we left and went to the park. There are tons of old people there all the time just like dancin with each other. it's adorable. anyway, that was suepr fun. haha we talked to some people there and yeah. then we came home and had dinner at a place near our house. chinese food. super good! The guy there loves us so he gives us some free stuff when we go in. Nothin too big but like apples and stuff. super nice. love him. anyway, after taht we went to find a bunch of less actives but couldn't find anyone. then we went to meet a member for a practice lesson which went super good! I realized what i need to do when i teach cuz he was actually honest not like all of the other members who are like oh you guys did great. but yeah so it was uper helpful. after that we came home!
Friday was good! We got up and had personal and companion study then we had to go to the mission home for evaluations. it's like 45 minutes from us by subway. so not too far. we were able to meet the new office couple, cuz the old one is going home soon. and also talk to president and sister morrise. so we had evaluations with elder thompson the current AP. if you remember Elder nemelka from when i was serving in hwagok he is now the ap. haha super crazy. i can't believe that. i totally called it too. anyway, we taught elder thompson about baptism, the restoration and yeah! It went good! We had like 2 minutes to prepare. elder dayley did a really good job. i love that guy. he's the cutest. haha mom you need to tell me more about meeting his mom. all you did was send the picture. anyway, after taht wae came home and had lunch and some ghetto buffet place and then we had weekly planning and then we went to 허병석 ho byungsuck's house for our weekly coordination meeting. we had dinner with him then with our new ward mission leader park soonchor. that was super fun. he has tons of great ideas. we'll see what happnes. but yeah that was our day.
Saturday was pretty good. we got up and went straight to the church to play soccer. that was super fun. elder dayley wore his nice new korea jersey. there were like 20 people there. so for playing at the church it was pretty small but it 3was okay. :) haha so we played soccer and that took a while then we had some kimbap which is like korean sushi sort of. some of you might know what it is. but yeah. anyway, then we went home got ready for the day then went to the church to meet 강진오 kang jeenoh. he's a new investigator who was a referall from a member a while ago. he is super cool. we basically did how to begin teaching with him, which basically means we told him why we are here and what he can expect from meeting us. he seems pretty good. like he wants to know if god exists and to get over a few habits that he has that he really enjoys haha so we'll see if we can help him with that. so we taught him and thenwe went to meet a japanese guy who wants to learn english. that was interesting. he was super nice. his name is kenzie. we met him and did the same thing with him but he wants the missionaries to visit his house and since he lives across the river we wont' be able to do that. so we had to refer him to the seoul mission. :( but yeah. then we came home and had our studies and had dinner and went out to find less actives sbut that's cool. and then we came home!
Yesterday we woke up and got our transfer calls! I am going to be companions with Elder Smith who was in Elder Dayley's district at the MTC and also, he is elder warnicks child.
