The first sad news is we might have gotten dropped by Eun Sook
(Jani) we arent sure. We went to go give her banana bread this week and
she mom and aswered the door and told her that her daughter feels
uncomfortable about our visits. She feels to much pressure from us to be
baptised and go to church. Shes scared of water (like everyother korean
in Korea) and she says that church takes up to much time on Sunday that
she should be studying (like every other korean in Korea thinks.) so
her mom told us that her daughter is just interested un English. We
wanted to talk to Jani about it so we still tried to go to her house on
Saturday but they didn't answer the door even though we knew they were
home and they aren't answering out text messages. So we arent quite sure
what to do about that....
but on a lighter note: Sister Oh came to church yesterday! And she
said that she feels like the missionaries are like angels sent to her
family! We are having FHE with them and the elders tonight and we are
hoping to give her a baptismal date so sent many prayers her way!
I also ate this soup called pe-soon-dae...it is literally pig
intestine soup with pigs blood....I have never had so much trouble
downing food before. about half way thought I literally didn't think I
could finisih it. Our ward mission leader took us out to get it and
there were so many points where i had to hold back gagging and do
everything I could not to throw up. I have NEVER had so much trouble
eating something as I did that. There were pig intestine and hearts and
liver and grossness. Just thinking about it makes me sick. But afterwards we got ice cream because sister son was so proud of me for
finishing it because it was even hard for her. But I ate it! And I never
want to again...
Also i went on a splits this week and I meet the other sisters'
investigator who is an older asain lady who when she speaks english
sounds like a balck person. It's hilarious. She lived in Geroriga for 30
years. I guess she saw them walking down the street and said, "Are you
them Mormons?" It's the weirdest thing ever because she Asian but sounds
black. Anyways fun story.
We also had a really cool experience on Saturday. So Saturday was
really rough. No one wanted to meet with us so we pretty much just
walked aimlessly around all day. Then at night we went and visited our
member Sister Ha without calling her first. She let us in and we talked
and such then right before we left she told us that the misisonaries
always come by when their family needs them the most because they are
having a hard time and that day was one of those time. Missionaries
really are angels! Anyways I thought that was cool
Hopefully this week goes better. I hope all is well at home! I love and miss you all!
