Music to our ears!

So let me catch you up on things. We met our neighbors; their mom that I met in Moscow was there. She remembered me! She's going to be here through Christmas, so we'll (hopefully) see a lot of her and her daughter's family. They seem really nice, and were at least sort of interested in our message.

But here's the cool thing.

Sis. Green felt like she should invite them to a stake musical night program thing that the Busan Stake put on. We invited them and they came! They had a good time and met some people. It was So. Cool!

And speaking of cool, it's starting to get cooler here. It's not cold yet, but I can certainly tell it's fall!

The gospel is true! Keep sharing it!

From the Stake Music Night

When what to my wondering eyes should appear?

Oh.
My.
Goodness!

I can NOT believe what happened!

You know how long it's taken us to look up the daughter of the lady I met in the airport in Moscow? Months! Every time we would try, something would come up — and now I know why!

Her mom is here visiting! It's been like forever since she's come back to Busan to visit, and it just so happens that the day after she arrived, guess which door we finally knocked on! Is it coincidence? I think NOT!

It was so fun to see her again! It was almost like we were long lost friends even though we only talked for a few minutes in Moscow (that almost sounds the the title for a spy novel, doesn't it?). Anyway, we'll see where it goes from here.

Her daughter is awesome, too! She was surprised to see us. Because it had been so long, she thought we were never going to show up. But now we can teach BOTH OF THEM!!!

Zone defense

I don't know what it is, but I every time we teach Bro. Kim, I get the feeling we should let him go. But like Sis. Green says, he does everything we ask him to and he seems very eager to learn — almost like he'll be in trouble if he doesn't get it — so we've kept teaching him. He does seem to keep referring back to the "Meet the Mormons" movie, though. It's weird.

It occurred to me, thought, that if these feelings are persistent, then maybe we could pass him on to another set of missionaries. What else are zone leaders for, right?

Suspicions

Our lessons with our new investigator, Bro. Kim, are progressing. But there's something about him that bothers me. I can't quite put my finger on it. 

Teaching and questions

So I've told you now about our new investigator. We thought it was a little strange when he came out of nowhere and started asking questions about the Church. That just NEVER happens, unless someone wants to practice their English skills.

Wait. There's more to come about this particular investigator.

On a completely different note, we made it through transfers once again! I have at least another six weeks with Sis. Green!

Our new mission president wants us to keep in shape and "lengthen our stride," so at the transfers we all meet at the mission home and run. It's kind of cool, but I'm glad it's only every six weeks!

We're kind of in the middle-ish back. Ish.

And that's how we got our new investigator!

Memories...

Oh, wow! I can't believe I. Totally. Forgot. This. Referral! But I'm SO glad that I remembered!

Good things are happening here in Daegu!

So we gave Sis. Choi a Book of Mormon and she read the whole thing cover to cover, not just once but TWO times! She's so amazing! What's really awesome is that she and Sis. Han are really developing a rapport. She's had a couple of questions, and we've been able to answer them. She's just devouring EVERYTHING!

It's starting to get warmer and brighter and things are looking up!

Best night ever in Daegu!

So the time we spent with our new investigator, Sis. Choi, was MARVELOUS! The spirit was so strong there, and she was so ready to hear everything! Being part of something like that, to be an instrument in the hands of our Heavenly Father, is beyond words! 

It amazes me!

One of the things that's really awesome is to see how members of the ward come together to help teach and support our investigators. I'm thrilled to see how much love and caring goes out, and how many prayers go up to support them and to support us as missionaries! I'm so thankful for everybody!

Each in his own tongue

Then don't stand idly looking on
