Hello everyone!
In Korea, one popular thing to do is to go to a cafe that has cats in it, so you drink your beverage in the company of cats. I have never been to one of those, but in my last area I walked past something called a "dog cafe" every day for 6 months, but never tried it. But now I have a companion that really likes dogs a lot, so we went and sipped hot chocolate while in the company of a small army of dogs~
And then there's this guy, whose hair may or may not have been crazier than mine then... (I promise I got a haircut later that day)
I would highly recommend it.
Also this week, we had the privilege of meeting with Elder Holland, a member of the Quorum of the 12 apostles. He spent several days in Korea and did several different broadcasts where he talked about the importance of raising children, what being a member of this church means, and the importance of priorities. Additionally, we had the opportunity as missionaries to go and meet him personally in Seoul. We each got to shake his hand, and he gave a wonderful talk. He taught us how to relate personally with those that we teach, it was a huge help. And he also emphasized that none of the missionaries truly understand the magnitude or importance of the work we are participating in. He invited us to consider why it matters that Jesus Christ lives, to consider what that really means. And he invited us as missionaries to consider our role, just how important it is that we are extending the loving hand of the Savior to those we teach or just meet on the street. I feel so spoiled to have had the privilege of learning at the feet of two of the Lord's apostles in the last 6 months, and I'm especially grateful that we do have living prophets and apostles to help lead us towards Christ.
Other fun things this week:
-My English mistake of the week: Instead of saying "most happy" or even just "happiest," I decided to say "most happiest" as I was relating a story. The worst part was, after I said it I stopped and thought "wait, that's not right", but then immediately following that I thought "no, that's right English.. I don't know why I'm second guessing myself"...
-Watching a 2 year-old Korean child dance to a Korean pottytraining song, I still can't decide if his dancing or the lyrics to the song were funnier~
-One of the women that we are teaching has a daughter that is helping to organize the 2018 Olympics, which will take place in Korea. So she gave us these really cool pens and pins that they created when there was officially 1 year left until the olympics-
Have a great week everyone!
