I'm sorry but I really can't think of titles for my emails anymore. It's really difficult.  It would be easier if my keyboard would type in Korean.  


This week has been great! After the hard week last week I've started to kick it back into gear.  One night we were jundoing like always and we were stinking, letting people pass by, only talking to people that were on their own.  But I stopped, I was ready to punch myself I was so frustrated at how much of a noob I was being.  I said pull out the faith card (our card with faith scrips) and we read some scrips and were about to pray but this guy walked to the light we were stopped at so we talked to him.  And he was super interested it seemed and then he said I can't get in contact later, I go to Gundae (Korean military) in two weeks! So sad, but he has a Book of Mormon and he said he will read it. But the talk with him ended up leading us to a weird street we never go on, so we walked a few minutes, and then said, there's no people lets go back.  And this dude stopped his car and got out to talk to us!! He had been to Utah and learned a bit about the church and wanted to know where ours was in Miryang! So he gave us his business card and we will be following up to meet with him! It's amazing that as soon as the Lord knows he can trust us that he will give us his work that needs to be done.  He will lead us to people like this.  I don't know what will happen with these two, but because of this they have a chance that may never come again to learn about the restored gospel.

Also the next day we talked to this man, and he said he was busy which means go away.  But Elder Barnett asked for his number and he gave it to us and said he had investigated the church in the past and that he was willing to meet again! It's all about having the faith to do the Lords will, and then he will work miracles in your work and your life.  

While I was studying on faith I realized it said that you must have faith, hope, and charity.  But charity is the greatest of these.  So I studied charity in the section on christlike attributes in PMG, and I did the attribute activity at the end of chapter 6 and I found that I was really lacking.  So yesterday we had 6ish hours to jundo and I really found it easy to talk to a lot of people.  It's still hard to talk to couples, it's so awkward.  But no one else went by without the gospel being preached.  Or tried to be preached.... I really started just a little bit to see everyone as a child of God, how God would see them.  His heart breaks at the guys who look like they have had a rough life, and don't realize there's something missing(the gospel). And yesterday I started to feel like that just a little bit.  

I met this man, and he said he had investigated the church and that he didn't like some principles, and he just wanted to smoke, that was important.  So I felt that I should just bear my testimony to this man.  And so I did and we left him our card.  And I felt the spirit so strong, there was no way he didn't feel it too.  But he wasn't having any of us.  It's so sad.  The world needs the gospel so badly.  It's the only thing that can fix the holes in the hearts of the people.  I'm so grateful for this opportunity to serve the Lord and bring people this message that the atonement can heal them.  Love you all! Have a good week! 

PS I knocked doors for an hour, it was only the third time I've done this on my mission.  But I was really excited to tell you that. Pic included....

Super Cool Government building we visited

A yummy snack! Ingo bbang! Fish bread!
The apartment that we knocked doors at
 The fountain that started because it's spring, it was in sync with the song dust in the wind.
