Dear
Family,
Besides
Christmas, not a lot happened last week. A member invited us over to his house
for dinner on Christmas, and he also invited a non-member friend, so that was
pretty cool. I didn't know that happened in real life, I had only heard
stories. He wants to learn English from us, but also seems to have gospel
interest. We shared a message about Christmas, and when we asked him if
he knew why Christ came to Earth, he gave a pretty detailed explanation of the
Atonement. That probably doesn't sound impressive to you, but in Korea,
it's pretty rare to find someone who even knows what the Atonement is.
This guy is doing his military service right now so doesn't have a lot of time,
but he wants to meet us when he can.
On
Christmas Day, we did a pretty fun activity with all the district
members. We got together and had most of the people sing Christmas carols
while one or two teams handed out Books of Mormon to people passing by as
gifts. It worked pretty well, we were able to give out maybe 40 or 50
copies of the Book of Mormon in only an hour. Christmas is wonderful for
missionaries, it gives us a reason to try to give people stuff :) Any other
time of the year they think we're trying to sell them something.
I
hope you had a good Christmas! And have a fun New Year's!!
Love,
Elder
Hines
