What I have notice in giving out contacts, and from what my companion said, that when we give handouts out with our #, they never end up contacting back. So, I have been doing some PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Adjust). If I am going to to be putting my energy and effort into something, I want to be able to get results. So for this past week we have been trying to get their numbers, so that they can get actually get contacted again and get an appointment later. And, we have actually been getting appointments from our contacting!!!! It is great! I want to leave this area better than it was before. And, I know that I can accomplish this through the Lord!!
My companion, Elder Lowe, said that ever since he has been my companion, so many people have been coming up to us. They give us referrals, buy us food, and just like talking to us! And, I love it!!!! Keep'em coming!
We have also found that drunk people are actually open about their feelings, and most Koreans are sooooo KIND. And, when we talk to them they are open about whether or not they have interest or need of the gospel. And, they are always fun to talk to. They usually stop us because they want to practice their English. It's great!
But, I think the Highlight this last week was this...
This last week we were trying to get our investigator that accepted a soft baptismal invitation, 한동호, to church. So we had called to remind him about church, and he said he was planning on going to church. Awesome!!!
On Sunday, we came to church and saved a seat for him. And, we saw him! But, someone else was with him. He brought his wife!!! Wow!!!
That day we were planning on giving the lesson on the Plan of Salvation, and I could see God's hand in helping the Sacrament speakers and the Gospel Principles teacher in preparing for that day, because they were all things that they needed to hear, and were centered around the Plan of Salvation.
When it came time to give our lesson for the 3rd hour, she asked a lot of questions. Questions are AWESOME! As we gave our answers and explained the doctrine to her she just accepted it as truth! Especially the Book of Mormon! They are both so prepared!!!!!!
Also, we asked them if they would prepare themselves in order to be Baptised, and we decided together that they would be baptized on Nov. 18. And, we will be teaching lessons to them twice a week, after English class!!! WOW wow WOW!
I am pumping through the Language Learning Program. I love the Gospel! I love Missionary work!
And, I see miracles daily!!!
Thank you, all for the love and support you have been giving. Love you all!

1-3 Korean stores, they are all super nice!
4 - just walking down the street
5-7 Bowling on P-day with a new convert (First time!)
8 - there are many fish markets on the street, everyone here loves selling things on the streets and it is fairly cheap
9 - There is my apartment!!
10-12 At an old missionary apartment taking out their old trash. I found a nice winter coat. And, they had masks! A lot of people in Korea wear masks because apparently a neighboring county gives off A LOT of pollution, and we are actually allowed to wear them as missionaries.
13 - PIZZZZZA! I love how the pizza here has lots of variety in toppings
14 - the Koreans love English so they use it frequently, but they spell things wrong sometimes, lol I love it!
15-16 There are a lot of apartments here and no one owns a home, home is an apartment. And Elder Lowe wants to be in a picture pointing at something again
17 - The way we get around is by subway system and walking. It is very efficient and CLEAN.
18 - The river is the border for our mission and the Seoul South Mission. It is so pretty here!
