KOREA, KIMCHI AND CONVERSION: NEW INVESTIGATORS! I GET TO KILL ELDER LEE!

July 2, 2017

Hello everyone! So transfers actually came in like a week ago. I get to stay with Elder Lee! He will die at the end of this transfer so I'm super excited! He's teaching me hmong and Japanese so that's fun!

This week we found two new investigators that are super awesome! One of them is Jo Yongdae 조용대 he is like 70. But he's super funny and he loves that Elder Lee is hmong, and that I'm American. He's says I look like a perfect Canadian though. He loves Jesus, we have to bring him new pictures of Jesus when we meet because he loves them. He's hard to teach because he likes to just talk. So we introduced the Book of Mormon and he said he will read it and come to church before Elder Lee leaves.

The other investigator is Isaac. He's from Ghana. He is Roman Catholic, but doesn't really seem to into it. He believes in Jesus and told us his relationship with God isn't great because he sins. He is trying to be better though. So he's a super awesome guy! We taught him the first lesson and he said he wants to read the Book of Mormon and meet with us to learn more! He's busy with school so we've only been able to meet him once, but lots of potential.

This week I got last words from President Barrow. He talked about desire. Desire to serve God. And he said to increase your desire you need to increase your love. Specifically for these five things. 1. God 2. The Savior and his sacrifice 3. The Holy Ghost 4. The People and 5. Everything it takes to become a great missionary, or just a great person. As we increase these five things our desire to serve God and to do good will increase. I am so grateful that I've gotten to spend the first year of my mission with President Barrow, I know he was called of God to be my President. And I know that President Jeong was called by God to be my new mission President. I'm super excited to learn from him. But it is super sad that the Barrows are gone.

Hope you all had a great week! Remember to love everyone and try to serve! I gotta go, so I'll talk to ya next week!
