I was so full though. since it was 30 bucks i was like alright fine i'm gonna get my money's worht! i ate a lot. haha it was good. then after that we went and made some calls and then we went to 봉천 bongchun to do some caroling. that was super fun. haha i love caroling. it was super good. a lot of people like just were happier. i don't think that anything came directly because of it, but it definitely put out a good image. :)

saturday was decent. we got up and went to soccer which was a blast. we played outside. i think it was like 0 degrees C. super cold. but way fun. It was super fun. then we came home and got ready to go then we had a practice lesson with ho byungsuk. he's the best. he brought his wife too. haha they were a ton of help. we taught em baptism and they were super eager to help our korean too cute. ah i love them so much. they were baptized in like 1969. so a while ago. he was bishop when he was 25? so yeah boss. anyway. baptism. covenants are super important. stay worthy to partake of the sacrament. after our lesson they took us to get food. in fact my favorite food. 삼계탕 Sam Gaytahng. super yummy. they took us to a way good place too. ah sorry it's the whole chicken in a soup thing. way good. then we came home and had our studies which were okay. not the best, but pretty good. haha then we went to the church because there was a baptismal interview that we had to help with. just to be there. and then we worked on the family history thing for the rest of the night!
yesterday was super good. we went to the churhc and got it nice and clean for everyone so that the ward members didn't have to do it. and we also had to put water in the heaters again. so weird. i am grateful for heating and cooling in america. it's a much better system. :) haha anyway, church was super good today. we talked about loving others in priesthood and then we had to skip out on sunday school to finish our board for the family history thing. then we had sacrament meeting which was super good. a guy who just got back from his mission in california told a story of another missionary who got a stack of book of mormon copies from their ward with testimonies written in them and the one that he had on that day said "This book will save your life". and so he goes out to proselyte with this book of mormon. he knocks on one door and the dude opens the door and has a gun and is like what the heck do you want?! The missionary then proceeds to try to tell him about the book and he's like yeah whatever get the heck out of here but you can leave the book. and so he throws it through the door and leaves. that sunday the missionary shows up at church and the guy who pulled a gun on him was there. he told the missionary he read the first line someone had written in there and the guy said yeah my emotions were going out of control when you knocked, i was about to commit suicide but when i saw "This book will save your life" i then proceeded to read the whole thing. he was baptized 3 weeks later. pretty crazy right?? Haha anyway then we had a baptism! He was a kid of a ward member. too cute. haha but then we went to the family history thing in youngdeungpo. it was just like the whole stake put together a seminar for people to learn about family history and we had to make boards for it. pretty decent. :) hahait was super aweosme. after taht we came home and had our studies! That was our week. We weren't able to meet our investigator:( he's too busy with the end of the year thing. but it's oaky. he will have time this week. we're hoping to get him iwth a baptismal date. we'll see. pray for him. 강진오 kang jeenoh. anyway, yeah! I can tell you guys are doing great. :) have a great week!
