Well this week has been another great week. I cannot believe how fast time is going, Already August and not moving any slower. We were able to do our service activity again these week, and the people are as adorable as ever. They all line up to shake our hands, get our autographs, and then work hard beside us, trying to make sure they are doing it faster than we are. Oh man, I love it. There are service opportunities all around us. We were on our way to Zone meeting, when a woman in front of us fell and hit her head pretty hard on the road. We ran over to help her, and after letting her rest a minute, realized she was incredibly drunk. We couldn't leave her in the road, so I made her get up and helped her into the nearest store, which was a pharmacy. We left her on a bench there (much to the pleasure of the lone pharmacist I'm sure) and left feeling very grateful for the wisdom that comes from keeping the Word of Wisdom. There was also a big gust of wind that blew down many signs and displays of the stores in the market near our home. Wanting to be good citizens, by companion and I went over to help. While lifting a particularly heavy sign, requiring us to use both arms, the large gust of wind came back- lifting our skirts to our eyeballs and there was nothing we could do about it. Oh dear. Service is full of adventures.
Yesterday a woman we met on the street decided she wanted to attend sacrament meeting. She stayed to eat lunch with the ward afterwards, and wants to meet again on Wednesday. Miracle! This week we also met with an adorable little girl this week named Kang Ho Jung. She is doing the 30/30 english program with us. Except instead of English, my companion is teaching her Piano. Super fun. This week we wanted her to understand the importance of prophets, so we made a treasure hunt with clues leading her to the prize. She got really excited as every clue was found, and did a victory yelp when the cookie was located. It was a fun lesson, and far more effective than sitting down explaining why prophets are important. We've decided to try to implement more 'activities' into teaching adults as well, because it's just more fun. And far easier to remember and understand. I admit, our lessons have been slightly boring at times in the past, but we are trying to think of fun ways to keep people engaged and remember what they learn and feel far after we are gone.
I love being a missionary here in Korea. Holy Cow. The work is amazing, the people are amazing, and the experiences that we are able to have are incredible. I'm so grateful to be here doing the Lord's work! I am so thankful for Shalynne, for doing this same wonderful work in the MTC and soon in Finland! And I am grateful for all of you for being an example in your families, to friends, coworkers, players, and everyone else. I love you all, have a great week!
