Apricot launching monkey-faces.

Hi!

This past week has been good. I don't remember a lot of it again. Unfortunately, the baptismal date we had sent didn't go through. We're still trying to work with her, and we still think she has plenty of potential, but her big problem now seems to be coming out to church. So, at any rate, things have still been going well.

We had a great day yesterday with a lot of cool things. We got to meet an old investigator that actually ended up finding us, and another old investigator gave us a call. One of them doesn't have any English interest, just wants to talk with us, and the other wants her kid to learn English. So it's great to get both sides.

I also feel like my Korean has been progressing more and more again. It's starting to get better. The people out here in Taebek have a pretty thick accent sometimes, so they're next to impossible to understand. But, that is definately getting better. I've been trying to improve my language study time that I've been given, and I've seen a lot of benefit come from that.

This has really just been a week full of appointments and contacting. We saw a really great blessing on Sunday of seeing quite a few people come out to church. We haven't had that many since I got here. We've been trying to work a lot with less-actives, in trying to strengthen them up a little bit. We're still working at that, we have quite a few plans for this next week.

Also, I've come to realize that within the next week is transfer calls! Quite amazing really. I can't believe it. This transfer seemed to move away fast in a slow-motion real time. a bit odd. But anyway, it's been really great serving with Elder Grose for this time. I got the package that was sent - packed full of... a lot of food! Thanks so much for that. Thanks a lot for the scriptures, too. They're really, really nice. I had another set in mind that probably would've been cheaper, but these're wonderful.

I can't think of a whole lot else to report on. Still doing great, still having a great time. I hope all is well out there with you all. Hope you're still alive, at the least! :D Have a fantastic week, and beware of those apricot launchers. Stay healthy and happy!

Rainy days and slippery transfers.

Hi!

I'm still in Taebek. Still alive. This transfer has gone by fast. I only have two more p-days, both of which will be taken up doing other stuff. Next week we have temple day, and the week after that will probably be Zone Activity. Then! This transfer is dun-fer! Scawy. Surprising to think how fast this has gone by.

But at any rate - the weather here has been pretty crazy. It's rained a lot since we've been here - monson season. It rains about every other day, although since I'm up in the mountains here it's been soo nice. The weather has been really cool and great. Even better, a very low amount of mesquitos! It's been quite amazing indeed. My companion hasn't been enjoying the rain as much as I have, however. It's his birthday, though, so I bought him a bag cover so that the stuff in his backpack won't get wet. Useful AND cheap!

Our investigators have been doing great. We set a baptismal date with one of the sisters we've been meeting with. Originally it was the 19th, but she had to move it to the end of this month - 26th. I'm really excited for that. She has been accepting everything we teach her with no problem. I think she's one of the purest people I've met. Either that or she doesn't want to talk about any of the problems she might have. xP

Anyway... I can't think of a whole lot else to talk about. I snapped a few more pictures of Taebek and all of its greatness. I'll get a video or something of all the rain that we get here - it's really just crazy! Oh, and I dunno if the package has been sent or not yet, but I've realized a couple more things that'd be nice to have. I don't have a power converter (if they're expensive don't worry about it. My next companion might have one ;) ), and I was also thinking that a pair of hair clippers would be nice to have. The Korean haircut style is really ugly, and no matter what you tell them, they also just end up giving you the Korean style, so... Yeah, a buzzer would be good if that isn't expensive either! If it is, don't worry about it.

Anyway, still alive! Hope everyone out there is doing well. Stay happy and healthy!
