This
week we have been really busy, and have had almost no free time. Just
since the missionaries do everything here, we've been trying to get things
ready for people to watch General Conference at the church, cleaning the
church, and then Daeshin Grandma had a ton of errands for us to. But
anyway, general conference was really good, but we haven't watched all of it
yet. Yesterday we had to go to choir practice in the afternoon, so tonight
we are going to watch the Sunday afternoon session. I don't understand why
we had choir practice during general conference...for some reason a lot of the
members in Korea don't seem to think that it's very important. No one came
to the church on Saturday to watch it, and on Sunday a lot of people left after
the morning session.
Sorry,
I'm just really not in the mood for typing a long email today, but I'll tell
you one story from this week. It's with Kim Hyeon-Cheol, the guy who is
trying to convert us. My new companion thought it was really entertaining. He
like took us out to eat, shared his conversion story with us, and bore his
testimony even. I feel like an investigator when we meet him. Then we
went to his church with him, where he showed us episode two of seven preacher
videos that are two hours each. I tried asking if it was okay if we shared
something about are beliefs since we haven't been able to yet, and they just
said that we can after we watch the videos. So basically they have no
interest. After the video ended, we kind of got into a Bible bash with them.
They think that the Garden of Eden and heaven are the same place, that Adam and
Eve were happy in the garden, and because they partook of the fruit, we can't
be happy. And then the infamous scripture at the very end of Revelations
that says if anyone adds to this book, God will curse them. Nothing they
said made any sense, but they wouldn't listen to anything we said. There
is a scripture in Deuteronomy that says the exact same, so if that means what
they say it means, then all of the NT is a lie. But they just denied everything
we told them. There's no way we can teach them anything in that kind of
environment. My companion and I talked about it, and we're going to try
and meet one or two more times and see what happens, but we will probably be
avoiding them in the future.
The
last two weeks for p day we had the fitness day and transfer meeting, so we
couldn't do anything. This week we are going to go to Nampo and Busan
Tower with the district.
Have
a great week!
Love,
Elder
