Hey! Thanks for the email! It
was fun to see how badly Google Translate garbled those. I think most of
those only work in English, so I'm not sure if I'll get to use them out
here. :)
It
has gotten to be a good average temperature out here. It gets quite
warm in the afternoon and quite cold at night. I guess we really are at
similar lattitudes. The leaves on the trees have not changed, and I'm
not sure if they will... Elder Ahn didn't know what I was talking about
when I described the phenomenon, but he is also from a very urban part
of Seoul.
We
have had a good week. We got to work with memebrs a lot this week,
including a 체육대회 literally a "physical conference." It was a good time
and a number of investigators came, we were able to get a couple
referals. We have also been able to meet a number of people with
religious interest as oppposed to English interest. We hope to be
meeting with them a lot.
It
continues to be a slight challenge to find families here. Ironically,
it seems that it is always the women who keep us from talking about
religion. It may be that the men all have the difficult experience of
military service which makes them more willing to learn and have
interest, but I really don't know. It is still so interesting being in a
country so very different from home. There is something new to learn
everyday. :)
Sorry
for the early email; it is the last preparation day for the zone leader
and the ward mission leader wanted to have a farewell for him. Elder
Harrison, from Laverkine (sp) Utah was actually my first zone leader, so
it was really fun to see him again.
I
imagine you're all at Robert's house enjoying leftovers after
conference, so I hope you enjoy the strata! That is a dish that will
never be big in Korea. They dislike cheese, think of bread as a dessert,
and largely don't seem to have ovens. It's funny. Either way, I hope
you all enjoyed conference, and I look forward to talking about it next
week. :)
Press forward with steadfast faith in Christ.
Best wishes,
Elder Jones
