I'm
in Korea. That's what I'm up to. Life is really good. I get to live in a
tiny apartment next to a railway station infested with unidentifiable
insects with a Korean who loves his fermented cabbage and cucumber.
This
is after moving out of a house surrounded by colleges who cater to
Muslims and the Chinese. One week was spent meeting with no one but
those who want us to read the Koran and accept that the bible is flawed.
We
get to go out every day and talk to people living in a culture super
saturated with missionaries sent from corrupt churches. Everyone knows
the system is corrupt but loves the easy doctrine tossed over the pulpit
like tuna to a performing seal. The summers are hot and the winters are
cold and the humidity allows stimulates mold growth on clothes in a
sealed box.
This is the best time of my life so far. :)
I
don't need to worry about work, school, or girls. I don't need to worry
about wars, financial crisis, or whether or not the car will start in
the morning. In the words of a Korean, missionary work is: 1. Obtaining
the spirit, and 2. teaching with the spirit. I do that and I have
nothing to worry about.
This time of walking up
to absolute strangers and try to help them make the most important
changes in their life they will ever make is the least stressful, yet
most focused time I have ever had the chance able to enjoy.
I
don't know what you're up to these days (though I hope to hear about
that soon), but I'm sure you're having a great time. I hope you keep
having a great time and get to read some more. I remember that you like
that. Take every opportunity to learn more. This life is a time to
learn, and the more learning we get, the happier we are. :)
Press forward with steadfast faith in Christ.
Best wishes,
Elder Jones
