It is great to think that our leader is willing to go out and proselyte with me in Taebaek 태백, if it were at all possible (That was what he told me in my last interview, but it doesn't make sense for him to take a 10 hr bus ride from Seoul to Taebaek and back). I can really feel Pres. and Sis. Taylor are taking every chance they can to invite people to come unto Christ out in Seoul! I find that very admirable!!
It honestly reminds me of King Benjamin!
Mosiah Chapter 2
14 And even I, myself, have labored with mine own hands that I might serve you... (Not just a leader that tells what to do, he takes action himself)
18 Behold, ye have called me your king (Mission President); and if I, whom ye call your king (Mission President), do labor to serve you, then ought not ye to labor to serve one another? (Leading by example not just words)
19 And behold also, if I, whom ye call your king (Mission President), who has spent his days in your service, and yet has been in the service of God, do merit any thanks from you, O how you ought to thank your Heavenly King (Our Heavenly President, Heavenly Father ;P)!
Obviously the president is not our king but it suits my purpose in expressing the my president's great example.
This last week has been packed!
We have been doing a lot of prep for a big 전도 (teaching) activity in which we are going to be doing the Book of Mormon activity they did in Seoul, as well as giving a musical performance! I am excited! Not sure how it will go but it should be similar to the #bookofmormonexperiment activity.
Seoul missionaries putting it to work!
Love you all!! Until next week, keep smiling and sharing God's love!
Exchanges! If you look you can see intestines! And Fried Squid! This is all considered Korean Minute food 분식. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good!! I am really adicted to 떡복이 (The red stuff, I am trying to perfect how to make it at home)!!
Taebaek is big and so we ride a lot of buses! That means a lot of waiting!
But, the mountains are gorgeous!
Investigator taking us out for what she called an Italian restaurant! Maybe the top left dish is Italian? Though it was amazing!!!!!!!
I love talking with mothers and their kids!
Just walking home
Flowers!
I am extremely, beyond all description, disappointed! If you are asking why it is because I took to pictures and they did NOT come out. It was a picture of the pride of Grandmas lying about in the structure in the picture! We walk by them every night, and they are just the BEST!!!! I love love love love Korean Grandmas! The picture does not even come close to doing it justice! (Taken from our apartment window)
On P-day we spent most of the day in a cave! It was very informal and extremely cool (temperature)! I was almost cold. It is the first time I have been in a cave this big! Taebaek was known for their mining industries in the 1900s! I learned a bunch of useless vocab such as flowstone, and other minerals...lol. I kept thinking of my Gram (my mom's mom) because she loves learning and would enjoy seeing it! I feel like if she had been there she would have told me some cool facts about rocks or somethings cool in history! I also was reminded of her because of that one time when we were driving to DC and spent a lot of the drive going through Dictionary.com's word of the day(s) learning fun but useless vocab for the common listener to understand. (It is sort of fun to know words that most Koreans don't even know. I'm such a nerd! I feel so alive when I am learning new things!!!)
Our youth in the Branch! Not a good picture. But, I do love teaching them every week! They are just such good kids!!! (One of them is our investigator.)
Our investigator took us out for Italian food, because she is leaving on a vacation to Europe and will not be able to say goodbye to Elder Newton before he leaves at the beginning of August.
ㅠㅠ (Korean eyes dripping with tears)!
