Have
i ever told you how much i love you?! if not i thought i would tell you
know hahah i love you, your emails are always the best!!!!
this
week was much better then last week, we are having almost everyone now
working to get the english classes started, i just really hope we can
get them started, we are planning on next tuesday to be the start date,
right now we have 5 people for that class signed up but we are still
trying to work really hard to get the rest of the classes full so we can
start those too, for some reason not as many people here want free
english classes from americans, haha but we will keep trying
Crazy story for you all this week:
my
branch presidents wife had her baby this week, we texted them while
they were at the hospital and asked how they were doing and they said we
are great you can come visit us if you want to we went and brought them
some snacks because we figured at least the President Rubio would be
hungry, right when we got there she started having the worse
contractions (she had been in labor for 24 hours) so we sat and talked
to president Rubio for 40ish mins and then we all decided it would be
better if we left because we all were pretty positive the baby would
come soon. he came 30 mins after we left. she is the cutest lady i have
ever met. she then messaged both of us last night telling us thank you
for coming because she felt like it was because we came that she was
able to have the baby. then she sent us the cutest text and said that
she really believes it is perfect timing tht god sent us to their branch
because she really feels like we can do so much good up there, man i
love that family and branch so much all ready!!!
we
got to go to the base on monday and it was the weirdest thing of my
life, i about died when i saw so many white people, especially white
men.... i decided this week that i will be the most awkward person when i
come home because white people freak me out and i dont know how to talk
to them in english anymore without throwing in korean words. they even
had me say the closing prayer last week and i really struggled with it
because it had been over a year since i have prayed in english.... it
was the worst hahah i will pray that serving in the branch will help me
become more comfortable with white people again, or at least speaking
english hahah
we had an awesome lesson with
our investigator Jessica, she is the one who is giving up coffee, she is
now done to one cup of coffee all on her own, and at the end of the
lesson last week she told us that she wants to learn everything she
needs to know and keep in order to get baptized because she feels like
in her heart she is ready she just needs to prepare herself more, we
both about died and said heck yeah we can teach you those things!!! that
was a good day!!! oh and right now we are also teaching someone who is
muslim... well kind off we are starting by just teaching her english but
when we did that last week she asked us so many questions about our
church and what is different about it so we hope that with time we can
teach her more and more. she is so cute and her two kids are the cutest
things ever!!!! but it is a little hard because she doesnt speak any
english and korean is her second language so we talk mostly through
google translate haha
well i love you so much!!! and i hope you have a great week!
Love
Hemenway 자매
yeah i mean we still have some stuff to work on haha but overall improvement
yeah he is in the district haha
she is the blondeish one!
yeah but she is actually american haha she was raised in america! yeah
we do have an oven, we havent used it yet so i am not sure if it works
haha we have like no food at our house so we usually eat out, we have a
really bad moth problem so we are scared to bring food in the house....
yeah the members gave us a lot of food yesterday, the other sisters have
eaten a lot with the members, with us its hard because the members
didnt know us till yesterday because we finally went to church so we are
hoping to get more meals here! and yeah you can eat really cheap here
if you go to a kimbob place they have so many options for food and most
are between 3-6 dollars! and the weather has been so nice! in the
mornings and nights its cold enough for a sweater but the days feel
amazing!!
i would love to bring you all here, that is my dream! plus you need to
try all the amazing food!!! then you can understand why i have gotten
so fat hahahahahha
we havent fully decided we want to clean the house a little to try and
get rid of the moths, my comp wants me to color her hair and then the
other sisters want to go to costco so we might go there too but other
stuff i am not sure yet!
hahah i know dont worry i wont touch mine, i really need quel to fix it,
it is so bad!!!! umm accroding to the elders there is shopping and food
and thats about it, we are planning on heading to seoul next week
because my comp wants to wear a hanbok before she goes home (tradtional
dress_
Elder Wagner told me about a really cheap place in seoul where i can buy
one, he got one for 30 bucks last week, so he said he will send the
address
