Week 100: Once Again, Elder Newton Finds a Way to Make Balloon Animals in Missionary Work

I don't know who the Korean people are, but the missionaries are Boden, O'Brien and Newton
Discover Vineyard
Pluck and Prune
Unnoticed Corner but Varied Growth
Stop the Problem
How?
Pay a visit
The Proof is Honor
Vineyard

Well that one ended up more meaningful than I meant it to be. It was just because Elder Steward said he liked vineyard analogies in district meeting. But it was a busy week and we want to hike a mountain today, so let's get to it. 

We think we spotted Elder Newton in the back row (near the tall elder) but we aren't 100 percent sure
First, on Monday we tried to leave the house at 6, but couldn't get past the door because our neighbors kept showing up and asking if we could do service projects with them and teach their children English. But we did eventually leave, which was good because we actually got into a house while tracting. The man was really nice. He let us in, and it turns out he had lived in Missoula, Mont., for two years and had received a Korean Book of Mormon at some temple in Idaho. We've been messaging him a lot, and hopefully we can meet him more this week. 

We think this might be a service project
Tuesday was pretty good too. During language study at the library I was reading in 3 Nephi 11, and for some reason the Book of Mormon made way more sense than usual, and for maybe the fourth time ever I marked a Korean scripture. Then, lo and behold, at English class this night we ended up talking to Sister Kelly about baptism again, and it turned out the verses I had underlined helped her concerns. That was a really cool experience. 

Wednesday was good too. We spent the day in 동해. Elder Steward did really well on his final district meeting, and we met a cool British man at a district activity afterward. Turned out Elder Steward and Elder Alban had also run into him a lot. Good stuff. 

Thursday was Balloon Animals. Basically one of our neighbors does service projects as a job around here, and there's one where you decorate a nursing home with balloon animals. It was perfect for me, honestly. I'll make sure to attach some pics. 

And the rest of the week was great too, but I have to leave, sorry

Better luck next email

Best Wishes,

Elder Newton
