Camera

So my camera died this week. We don't really know what happened. But it got us a picture of the sunset before it died. A few minutes later it said there was a lens error and won't turn on ㅠㅠ

It'll be chill though, we still have companions and smartphones, so I'll try to take what I need. There'll be a lot to take pictures of this transfer. I might buy a new one, but I don't know how to get a solid deal in the 시골. We'll see what happens

Other than that though, other things happened. I watched a train go into a tunnel from, like, less than 5 meters away. I'm still not quite sure how we got into that situation. We waited for our companion for like half the day because his old area is far and we were told he took an earlier bus. Good times. It took him so long, he called to make sure he was on the right bus.

We also got to see Americans. They have the pictures, I think. They were tall. One was pretty fly at Korean*. They bought us Baskin Robbins. S/o for that one.

Then we had other countryside adventures in proselytizing. An old man talked to us about stinky whales and other assorted topics for a very long time. We almost invited him to be baptized and everything.

Saturday was great, though. We didn't have much, but then in the middle of personal study our Young Man called and asked us to help him and his dad set up a mirror in front of their house and paint it. It was also his birthday so we got to see him even though he would have missed Mutual for test studying. We'll ordain him to be a priest soon, so that will be really nice. He'll be able to bless the sacrament and everything.

Oh yeah, and since it was Children's Day we spent a good minute making balloon animals near the pond for the children. It was really nice, and a lot of people approached us. And by a lot, I mean around 10 at the max. Which is good for out here.

Sunday was also good. I love fast and testimony meeting. It's so much easier to plan. Then we taught about testimonies in Sunday school as well. I think the youth were able to learn a lot, and our investigator also was able to stay involved throughout. We try to make it fun for him.

That's about it. Thanks for all the memes, and we'll see you next week

Best Wishes,
