Basketball and Stickers

Hello all!

It was another good week here in Andong!

The hardest part of missionary work so far has been the eating.  We eat maybe half our meals at mini tables and you have to sit criss cross applesauce.  It's insanely hard.  You also have to lean over the bowl to eat cuz you can't pick it up and put it to your mouth.  I can't lean over far enough or sit criss cross applesauce so ya, it's a struggle.  But the food is really good!  

The Ramen is 1000 times better than American Ramen.  Also at 7/11 instead of slurpee machines they have Ramen walls and hot water dispensers.  You can choose from endless choices of Ramen.  It's awesome!!!

We have been working with a less active man named 이정민 (Ee Jung Min).  He's about forty and he has some mental disabilities.  But he doesn't like to leave his house, even though he loves basketball.  The missionaries have been trying for over 4 months to get him to leave the house.  And we visited with him, and told him that I played basketball in high school, and he ended up accepting the invitation to come play with us! Pretty awesome! 

I'm beginning to see that I can have an impact on people and even though I'm just a trainee that can't speak Korean I can still help people come unto Christ. 

Sunday night we went downtown to Stickerboard Proselyte! It was my first time but apparently you do it a lot in Korea. It was so cool how many people would stop and talk to us and put stickers on our board. Many of them were curious about the questions of the soul and We were able to get a bunch of contacts and hand out tons of business cards and Books of Mormon.  It was awesome!

Sorry that this isn't super long, I don't have much time to email.  But have a good week! Love you all! Keep on choosing the right!
