Another Week

So this week was alright. We met with Calvin and Caroline and they're doing good. They didn't come to church because of some complication but they're planning on coming to General Conference. So that will be exciting.

We took pictures today at Puget Sound. If I have time, I'll send some in this email. but the computer is going to be kicking me off soon. ummmm....

Mary and Erik cancelled our visit :( but we have an appointment set up this week. The mudslide happened kinda near us, but it happened in the Everett Mission. We  border the Everett Mission, but it wasn't super close.



I watched the Women's broadcast. it was really good. I got to watch it in ASL. My District Leader, Elder Keeler and his companion Elder Rainey got to go to it because they had to had to interpret for a deaf /blind  sister who went to it. They were the only men there.  It was kind of funny. Especially when President Eyring gave his talk. 

Thank you for all of the prayers and support!!!

English Teacher

Okay, so this week it's official, I'm officially an English teacher. We got a referals for 2 North Koreans and they want to learn English while learning about the gospel.  We met with them, and they spoke Korean the whole time, so I just ate the food they put in front of me. It was yummy. They also gave us home made North Korean Kimchi. That was DELICIOUS!! omnom.

Then we also got another referal this week for another Korean who wants to learn English. We're meeting with her on Tuesday. so yeah. I'm officially an English teacher. Then this week. we weren't able to meet with any of our investigators. It all fell through. :( but Mary, Erik and Hayden all came to church. They enjoyed it. But they're going to comic com this week.

Then we went to the new member fireside last night with Calvin. It was really good. Recent converts shared how they came to the gospel. I think Calvin enjoyed it. It was really good. and yeah.. That was my week.

Exchanges

So, Mary, Erik, and their son, Hayden came to church!!!! :D We're really happy about that. They enjoyed it, I think... Mary did, I know that for sure.

We also had Zone meeting/interviews this week. That was fun and our new Zone name is Rocky Balboa.. from Rocky IV haha. But our district name is Special OPs. So yeah. We're having fun.

We went on exchanges this week. That was interesting. I stayed in Edmonds and Sister Lee went to Bothell. Let's say I think Sister Morrison and I accidentally left the mission...heheh....oops. But, we saw this GIANT giraffe in someones yard!!!

Investigator Update

So, this week has been CRAZY!!! We've been like chickens running around with our heads cut off!! So this is a summary of our investigators.

So a Ward Mission Leader from the neighboring mission called us and said there's a lady in their ward who is from Africa that has a nephew and his wife that live in our area and she wants to introduce the gospel to them and that they were coming to Edmonds the next day. They asked if we were busy around 1-3 and we said "No". And so the next day they called us at 3:30 and said they want to know more, so we went to Calvin and Caroline's apartment and the members who were there had already taught them basically the whole first lesson minus the Restoration. Calvin and Caroline are interested and are very sincere about finding out if this church is true. We stopped by on Saturday to see how they were doing and if they have read the Book of Mormon. We invited them to read Alma 32 and invited them to the ward activity. Calvin came but Caroline had to work. :( But Calvin had fun. Then Calvin came to church as well!! I think he enjoyed it... Caroline had to work so Calvin came by himself. We have a church tour set up with them on Tuesday. I'm excited for that.

Then our other investigator is Mark. Mark really wants to find the truth. Our Relief Society president came with us to the lesson and the lesson was AMAZING. Mark's fiancee makes fun of him for meeting with us so Sister Pickett (RS Pres.) invited them over for dinner on Tuesday with us over to share a little thought. We're hoping his fiancee will support him more after she meets us and see Mormons aren't completely crazy.

Marilyn is doing good. We made a cake with her to bring to the ward activity for the cake auction. That was fun and we talked about Hel. 5:12 and how that foundation on Christ will help her quit smoking. she started crying. We're meeting with her on Tuesday night. We're going to show her the Restoration.

Mary, Erik and Hayden are doing well as well. We had a lesson with them on Wednsday. It went really well our WML Brother Ricks and Sister McRae came with us. We taught them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  They really liked the Holy Ghost and how it can be our constant companion. They couldn't come to church yesterday, but they are coming for sure next week.

We're really excited for our investigators!! We went to the ward Cake auction/Chili cook off. We were the judges with the Elders that we share the ward with. Elder Fisher and Gardner. Brother Hendrickson bought us this Cookie Cake. It is so, so, so good!!! I also tried Kimchi fried rice which is REALLY good!!!

Oops

So this week has been freaking AWESOME!!!! So, to start off, my District Leader is an ASL Elder. And he's funny and I'm super excited for our first District Meeting this week because he's going to teach us some ASL so we can help find investigators for them. Or in other words, if we happen to run into some one who is deaf or signs. So I'm really excited about that.

I also tried Kimchi this week. Kimchi is a Korean thing... It doesn't smell good, but I actually really like it. Sister Lee is going to make me Kimchi Fried Rice. I'm actually pretty excited for that.

So my companion is Sister Lee. She is called English speaking. The Korean branch is in the Federal Way Mission. She's from South Korea in Seoul. There are a lot of Koreans here. And a lot of Korean restaurants. Apparently the Asian market that is in our area is really good. I'm excited to check that out today.

So we had a lesson yesterday with this couple Mary, Eric, and their son, Hayden. So the neighboring mission to us, the Everett mission, the Mission President and his wife found us. Their AP's taught them the Restoration and we taught them the Plan of Salvation, and President Bonhm and Sister Bonhm were there.... oh my gosh... it was so BAD!! I accidentally said the Garden of Gethsemane instead of the Garden of Eden and when they asked where do we get resurrected, I said I didn't know XP oops.... heheh.. I wasn't thinking about "oh yeah we get resurrected in one of these 3 kingdoms." XP hehehe...  yeah... For some reason I was thinking as soon as we get resurrected because we get resurrected then get juged XP Yeah so embarassing. But President Bonhm did say Sister Oswald was doing good. I told him to tell her "Hi" for me.  And yeah, I think that's all I've got...
