Kyleigh In Korea
mission update-week 60
I hope this finds you all happy and enjoying your summer. The latest news from Korea is that it's hot, it's humid, Hagrid {my hair} is alive, and I'm happy. It is so hot that my ice cream bar that I am currently eating is releasing cold/steam air of some sort. I hope everyone had a Happy Fourth of July! We went over to the Needhams, the six of us missionaries, to have a big dinner and 4th of July celebration. :)
We've had a cat situation at the church. One was stuck in the boiler downstairs. The bishop came over with his tools and got him out. Go Bishop! The next day we could hear another one... so the Elders were down in the basement trying to find it. He was found hiding behind a bookshelf. We have the cat rescue on video. I was wigging out. It was so funny!
I swear every time we walk out of the house the strangeness just starts. Like everyday there is something. We walk out of the house and it's one thing after the other. These Korean people are strange and hilarious. I love it. Now that I can somewhat understand the language, its so funny to see and hear what people say. I think I just find people in general hilarious.
It has been raining this entire past week. It's their monsoon season. It is POURING RAIN all the time. We went out on this less active finding activity that the Bishop wanted us to do. He put us on a hunt to find all these less actives. We were out in the POURING rain trying to find where these people live. Reading the maps, figuring out where we were going..it was kinda difficult, but I was proud of us. We found almost every apartment that we needed to. It was an adventure.
We are starting the 30/30 program with two of our investigators. Their English names are Heather and Diana. We will have to take it slow with them. They were feeling the pressure because it was a church thing. We were glad that they are at least willing to come and listen and do English with us. We had a member present for our meeting. It was good.
We called this lady that stopped us on the street. She wanted to meet with us the next day. We got kind of worried because usually good things like this don't happen. Is she from some weird church or just want to bible bash? We had the old Relief Society President come and be there for the lesson. I was thankful she was there. This is the first legit lesson we have had in a LONG time where someone is just interested in Jesus and the gospel, rather than learning English. My companion and I could feel the spirit pretty strongly. This lady was just crying like the whole time, and she didn't know why. We tried to explain to her that it was the spirit . So that was our big miracle for the week. We don't know what's going to happen. She didn't really commit to meeting with us again for sure. But we are hoping we can meet again with her on Saturday. I have become extremely determined this transfer to help someone receive baptism. This could be my last few weeks in Dogye or I could stay another transfer and my trainee could leave, but we loose 20 missionaries after this transfer and only gain 2. scary and sad.
God is good. I'm thankful for you all in my life. Our family rocks. Like seriously, I've met so many missionaries who come from broken families. We are blessed.
Love you all!
Love,
Sister Cooper
