Transfer
calls on Saturday: i am staying in Sinchon!!!!!!!! i figured i would
because my companions going home but part of me was a little scared they
would whitewash. my new companion is sister Yoo. she is also korean
***i think president thinks i need to learn how to be a patient person
because the 2 hardest companions in the mission, i have already been
with one and i am about to be with the other. all of her companions have
struggled with her.*** she was in my zone my first transfer so i have
gone on exchanges with her. but im excited to see what we can do
together to help wake up sinchon again!!!
we
have been super busy this week! since sister hwang is leaving this week
almost all of our investigators wanted to see her before she left so we
had appointments after appointments almost all week, so this week went
by SUPER fast and it will this week to i think because we still have
people to see before she goes and then all of them want to meet my new
companion so this week will be ful of appointments as well! and we had
so many meals with people last week, we had 6 meals in a row.........
but the food was all really good so i wont complain haha i can just lose
weight after the mission right!?! hahah
a
cool experience i had on the bus this week. so the bus was full so we
were just standing and a lad got on the bus and there was a one more
open seat so she sat down and i felt like i needed to talk to her but
there was no way i could because there was no seat near her and i
couldn't stand over there because the walk way is super small right
there but at the next stop the guy siting next to her got off so i hurry
and went and sat next to her and started the the regular conversation i
have with most people. she asked me how long i had been in korea and
didnt believe me when i said 7 months because she said my korean was too
good fro only 7 months and not knowing any before that. so i explained
that i was a missionary here and that was a promise god makes to his
missionaries that we can learn the language fast. so we started talking
about church and i told her our church name and she had never heard of
it so i explained what we taught then i asked if she heard of 몰몬교
(mormon church) which i hate asking people because that name has such a
bad rep here but i didnt anyway and she said she had. she meet
missionaries when she was in college and even met with them once (she
was an older lady) i was like really?!?! thats our other name. so then
we got talking about that and she told me she reads the bible so i
introduced the book of Mormon to her and she was really excited to take
one home! before she got off the bus she even showed sister hwang that
she got a present haha i dont know what happened to here since then but
it was cool to at least lay a seed down in someones heart!!!
this
week will be weird having to say goodbye to half my district, it been
fun having 3 trunkie missionaries in one district because all of their
real personalities have come out and its been funny to watch! but it
will be fun to meet 3 new missionaries coming in!!
love you so much and loved all your pictures!!! have a great week!!
love
hemenway 자매
i told my companion a few weeks ago that i know that i am getting a hard
companion because last time i had a good companion i got a really
stressful one so i said its going to happen again so when we got the
calls and i found out who it was we both looked at each other and i was
like see i told you!!!! hahah but i think it will be okay i dont think
anyone can be as bad as my last one
haha when i talked to my district leader and the temple missionary they
all told me that he will love that misson. that its really nice. its
really hot so he will be always tan. and he will be eatinga lot of
mangos haha
