English Flyers and Proselyting

That's pretty much what we did all week. We had three appointments cancel on Tuesday and that was really the only day that we had appointments so it was hard. And it rained a lot this week so that makes putting up free English flyers even harder but we endured it. This week we have no appointments whatsoever. Last week we at least had some dinner appointments so this week will be interesting.
We did have a new woman and her daughter come to English class though! So that was exciting. She called off one of the flyers we put up. She's only English interest right now but we'll see where that goes. Hopefully she comes back next week.

Other than that we had a combined district meeting this week! That was fun. Sister Lamburt and Sister Jensen from the MTC are in my zone so it was good to see them and so is sister Stradling! It's good to catch up with people every once and a while. :) We had a really good sisters meeting during combined district meeting. Our sister training leader reminded us all that we are daughters of our Father in Heaven and that He knows us and our struggles and wants to help. I know that but every once and a while its nice to be reminded. We were pretty much all crying by the end of it. It was great.

Well that's pretty much all that happened this week. Nothng to eventful. Sorry no pictures I didn't bring the right thing to connect my camera to the computer :( But i love you all and hope you are all doing well!

Greenie Fire is Real!


Two sister missionaries - One Korean, One American, Giving Peace Signs
My New Companion! Sister Park.
New area new people! And we have two greenies in our district so I'm finally not the one who knows the least Korean! Yesterday one of the members actually asked me to tell the greenies that they had to give an introduction talk  during sacrament! I've never had anyone ask me to translate before! So it was exciting.

Anyways leaving Jeon Ju was really sad...on the last day sister son and i ate SOOO much. we literally ate nonstop from 1:30 to 8. we had an all you can eat buffet then popsicles and potato then another dinner then pretzels. I have never wanted to make myself throw up just to get the food out of my stomach before. Like I wasn't even hungry for breakfast the next morning. That's how full we got. But I felt so loved because so many people wanted to see me before I left.  It was bitter sweet. I didn't want to leave because i love all the people i had met but i was excited for change.

Then on Thursday Sister Son and i went to Daejeon to meet our new companions! I have realized in the past few days that I know more Korean than I think I do but at the same time I know none at all. but now I talk it all the time (or try to talk it) so hopefully I'll get better. Sister Park is nice but it's hard because we live in a two man house and there is a language barrier. But hopefully it will be a good transfer. We only have one investigator that we met at English class on Saturday. But the ward is super nice and they give us food! And we have lunch after church! So that's fun.

 Oh also I realized that greenie fire is real and I'm pretty sure I had none. We had a proselyting activity with the elders and their greenies and the greenies were so excited to talk to people it almost made me excited to proselyte. Almost, haha.

Yesterday during gospels principles class we were talking about fasting and I said that I fasted to learn Korean more and the teacher said that God answered my prayers by giving me a Korean. I realized he was right. And that this is going to be a hard transfer but I will come a long way in my language speaking and learning ability. Hopefully :)

I love you all and hope you are doing well! have a great week!
