cafe rio in korea

MOMMY!!!! 안녕하세요!!!

no we didnt do anything fun last week haha we wrote early because there is a family in our ward who was moving back to America (they were here working for the military) and the mom is 8 months pregnant a cleaning their huge apartment by herself so we texted her and asked if she needed help so we spent most of last pday cleaning up their apartment with her. they were such a great family, we will all miss them so much!!! plus their youngest sons name was Lincoln so when i talked to him it was like i was talking to my Lincoln hahah but sorry i wrote during church! hopefully i can talk to you this week!!

This week has been pretty good! we found 6 new investigators this week so we have been busy! one of them is a grandma and her daughter and her granddaughter, that we are teaching english too (the daughter is the cutest 4 year old ever and she is super smart and her english is way to good for a 4 year old!! but she doesnt count as an investigator since she it way too young!) but something cool about them is they are from North Korea! all we know is that they left north korea in 2013 through china, we want to know more about their story but we are scared to ask since that stuff can be super sensitive to people! Another investigator she found ud through the english website and she is great! she lived in Spain and Ecuador fro 6 years so her spanish is really good!! and so is her English but sometimes its hard for her to speak because she mixes up all 3 languages. she was hoping i knew spanish so i was wishing i paid more attention in my Spanish class in high school! but she actually has gospel interest too!!! so yay for that because that never happens. She has had some bad experiences with religion in the past so she isnt the biggest fan of it but she said she has only seen our church do good things so she wants to know what makes us different then all the other churches out there so we were able to share with her the restoration and some of the commandments! she really loved that we pray to god and we can pray whatever is in our heart and that its not a recited prayer! she told us she cant promise us she will join our church but she will keep an open mind about our messages, so we are excited to keep teaching her! and another investigator we found through kakao talk, we messaged her and she had english interest so she invited us to her house and it turns out we are teaching her son english haha i have never taught a guy before so this will be weird! but she had us stay for dinner and she talked for us for a little bit and turns out her son and daughter are both members of our church (so they are less actives) but none of us had any idea who they even were. so know we are trying to work close with their family to try and convert them back, we are trying to work with the elders to work with their son to help him feel comfortable enough to come to church! 

sorry that was a lot of information in one paragraph haha but thats pretty much all we did all week was go to and from their appointments! we are so excited to keep teaching them and hopefully get them to church!!! 

another fun thing we did this week was our mission celebrated new years and Easter on thursday so we went up to the mission home and played a bunch of games (and yes i know new years was in januaury but the koreans celebrate the lunar new year and that was in feb but because of the Olympics our conference thing got pushed to this week) and we went on a easter hunt in the woods behind th office, it was so fun!!! and the best part was the senior couples made us cafe rio sweet pork burritos!!!!!!!!! and we got to wear pants, i miss pants sooooooooooooo much!!! 

well im glad you had a good week!! and im sure trying to get Hunter all ready keeps you super busy!! i remember all that really welll and would never want to do it again haha

love you so much
