was good. It always is, I think. Everything went well. 승우 had the prayer in sacrament meeting, but he slept through it. That was funny.
Ummmmmmmm we did a musical number! That was cool. Elder Alger worked so
hard on the piano. Shout out to him and Mom for the "Love at Home" arrangement. I also gave my first and last Final Talk as a missionary.
It was all about the power of friendship in the gospel. It was fun. If
y'all come to my homecoming talk, it will probably be similar, but in
English. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Over two years I'm sure I've got some
wisdom, but I don't know it now. That's OK, though. I think it's all
just about love for the Savior and the people. In the end, all the
commandments and all of the gospel seems to turn you outward. I think
that's the weirdest part of the whole ending the mission thing. As a
missionary, I never really had to think about myself, but once I'm in
America, a whole lot of things will suddenly kind of be about me. I hope
I can find a good balance of that. But, we'll see how it goes. Thanks
to all of you for reading this here blog. I enjoyed the poetry.
Hopefully we can keep that up. </div>

<div>
Well. We had a lot of meal appointments this week. We missed <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_978174135" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>, but that's OK. 6/7 isn't too bad. Plus on some days there were multiple free meals. That was good. It was a good week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We're doing a musical number for my last week, so we practiced that a lot. That was fun. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ummmmmmmm we had exchanges with Elder Pulsipher (the blond
never-been-my-companion one). He was a greenie here, and he really seemed
to enjoy it. He still remembered a lot, and we managed to get him to
see 60% of the branch while he was here and also visit some
investigator. That was a good visit. I'll miss the man. He's 75 and has a
little house in the Taebaek countryside to do art in and listen to
music. I gave him a couple of my MoTab CDs, and I think he really
appreciated it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had another long talk <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_978174136" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Sunday</span></span>,
and I have another one next week, but what else is new. It was about gratitude. I somehow tied it into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Barnes_Smith" target="_blank">Amanda Barnes Smith</a>. That was fun. I
hope I can give talks in English one day. It sounds so hard. Also,
speaking of gratitude, I'm currently in the middle of my crazy project
to write thank-you notes to every member I remember after two years of missionary work. It's really hard, but it's made me really grateful for a
lot of little things. I'd recommend writing one or two thank-you letters
to someone this week. </div>

<div>
So
yeah, this was a week. We went to Donghae for P-day. We played ping-pong and Settlers of Catan with the branch president out there. He made
the entire board by himself. For Catan. That was intense. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also I'm low on time, but this week was full of miracles. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First:
As the subject says, I got a Korean name. I still need a last name, but
I asked our Young Man to hook me up. I thought he might forget, but <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1696538377" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Sunday</span></span> when we were getting the sacrament ready he was all like.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Hey, I was thinking about your name" </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sorry if the quotation marks are inappropriate. He actually said this in Korean</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So anyway, he goes on, "It's ShinJae. The Shin means new and the Jae means turn"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's
actually pretty legit, but my favorite is the reason he made it. It's
because New Turn sounds like Newton. He's amazing. I love the kid. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The other miracle to talk about is Claire. She's the best. Here's the crackdown.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1696538378" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Monday</span></span>
we rode the train back, and we actually ended up arriving a few minutes
after 6 (whoops) but that's OK. We went to some apartments we'd never
really noticed behind the train station to tract for the night with
some of our Prepared Book of Mormons. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But no one really answers</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Which is normal, but yaknow how it gets with spaghetti.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway,
near the end we knock on this one door, and Claire answers. She's in
her 30s or something. Anyway, she was in the middle of eating dinner,
but she had had an English teacher from Utah, and had actually always
wanted to read the Book of Mormon. So we gave her one with a pamphlet to
also explain and invited her to English class the next day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So
this was good, but we didn't ask her name and she didn't want to give
us her number. Whoops. So we just prayed really hard. And IT WORKED. She
came to English class, and she was actually the only one who came. So
it was a lesson. She is so great. Lots of questions and is really open.
Good person. She also bought us bread. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway,
she still doesn't want to give us her number, but we do figure out her
name, so we just invite her to the next English class. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And literally the exact same thing happens. Except she didn't have time for bread. So now we're going to have pizza together <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1696538379" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">tonight</span></span>.
But she had looked up the church online, and she liked most of it, and
we helped clear up the weird stuff she found. She liked our
interpretation of the gift of tongues. But yeah, that's the story of how
we started teaching someone and helping them progress within a week. I
never thought I'd see that happen. It's a darn happy time out in
Taebaek. I wish I could convey all of the miracles. But. I gotta go. I
love you all!</div>

This
week started off well. We actually had a lesson! *and the crowd went
wild* It was really spiritual. I might have mentioned the man before. We
met him in his house a few weeks ago while tracting, and he has a real
desire to follow Jesus Christ. I like him a lot. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When
we first met him, he mentioned that he had received a Book of Mormon in
Idaho when he saw a temple and got curious about what the building was.
It reminded me that on my first birthday in Korea, there was a sister
from Idaho I didn't know who sent me a letter and a picture of the Idaho
Falls Temple. (I think? There are a lot of temples in Idaho.) In any
case, for our first lesson, we thought it would be good to give Forrest
(that's the name of the person we taught) the little picture of the
temple to help him see the big picture of the Gospel. He really liked
it, and it turned out that the temple was the very same temple he had
gone to. #tendermercies</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then the week blazed by. We cleaned Brother Lee's house again almost all day <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1696538186" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Tuesday</span></span>.
We made a little progress there. English classes have been going well
still. It's basically become the time when we meet all of the sisters'
old investigators and keep them spiritually nourished. They're both
doing really well. We played Bananagrams for English class <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1696538187" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Friday</span></span>
and then for the spiritual thought we made an analogy between prayers
and burgers, and then gave everyone gummi burger candies. It was really
cute. I'd better be called as a Primary teacher if I go to America. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh
yeah, the senior couple came and we fixed our door. It's all good now.
It was like all the times I helped Dad with random house things, except
instead of going to Home Depot we went to a few little local stores I
know.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ummmmmm we met President Taylor. He's
really nice. Seems pretty funny. He was famous in Korea as a missionary
because his district sang a funny song on television or something. We
actually had a really good meeting with him. We talked about how we can
be the light of the world and the Beatitudes and things. We all have to
be the saltier salt. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sister Taylor is also a delight. I got a chance to talk with her while my companions had
President Interviews. She served a mission in Italy and is just a darn
nice person. I wish I could be a missionary longer. I hope they follow
through on their joke they made. They said no one gets to go home until
they do or the work is finished. I'm all on board. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This
weekend we had a few festivals around. One was a couples festival, so
we made hearts for everyone that said, "Charity Never Faileth," and then
passed them out with copies of the Book of Mormon. We also ended up on a <a href="https://english.visitkorea.or.kr:1001/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_6.jsp?gotoPage=7&cid=2438601&out_service=" target="_blank">railbike</a>,
but that's a story for another day I think. I will mention, though, that
I'm glad I wore a sweater that day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1696538188" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>
was also good. We had bibimbap and had some vegetables from our garden
with it. The branch president was gone, so I had to preside again. It'll
definitely be weird not to have all these responsibilities in church
when I get to America. But for now, it definitely keeps me awake during
church even if I'm tired. I have to conduct and then give the lesson in <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1696538189" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>
school and everything. But yeah, that's about it. Taebaek is still my
little bit of Promised Land. Hope you all had a good week too!</div>

Speaking of <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1989727715" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Wednesday,</span></span>
I had the best member visit of my life. We're focusing on ministering
to the members, so we bought Sister Kim some bread, and because I had
lost the phone on the bus that day* #whoops we had missed dinner. We
mention this, and in 2 seconds she's pulled out fruit and choco pies and
pulls her table up by the shoe pit because we can't go in her house. We
talked for a long time about her conversion story and about the branch.
She's so faithful and happy. She also says that we can't send me home.
Sorry everyone. </div>

Also
we had a great story by Sister Castro about Sister Gottfredson and the
Book of Mormon. I really felt like I had to deepen my appreciation for
the book, and so that night I got home and read it, and since I couldn't
sleep I read some more in the middle of the night so by morning I was
done with the Nephi books. The first two. But I've just been reading it
whenever I have a second. I'm on 3 Nephi now. It's a really good
experience. The people in the Book of Mormon are all so real, and I've
learned a lot from the arcs of story and things. I'd recommend it to
anyone. I do all the time, actually, now that I think about it. </div>

It was weird. I mentioned it in my testimony and everyone was really

and just the feeling of the church here. It's my family, really. Also three

we played ping-pong with our investigator and taught him a lesson by
farming together. He had to miss church this week, but he's still the
best. After we finished, the second counselor in the mission presidency
showed up to drop some stuff off. Then he went off to find a hotel while
his son helped us clean the church. That was great. I haven't had a
member help clean the church in forever. To be fair, though, we don't
really ask them to. But anyway, after we finished, they took me to a meat

As many of you might already know, we had a lot of lettuce growing for
today. We harvested it all. Or almost all of it. The meal was crazy big.
But we also had 41 people come to church. That's a record high. It
feels weird to have so many people. It's nice though. President and

I feel like there's
more to say. After church we took a big picture with everyone, but I
don't have that either. Sorry. Three of the 12 local foreigners were hanging
out in front of the church and we talked to them for a while. There's a
couple from Idaho who know Mormons really well, and a South African man
who's one of the funniest people I've ever met. He remembered Elder
Gilmore. Small world.</div>

First, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_334982242" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Monday</span></span>
we tried to leave the house at 6, but couldn't get past the door
because our neighbors kept showing up and asking <span id="goog_458622598"></span><span id="goog_458622599"></span>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. </div>

was pretty good too. During language study at the library I was
reading in <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/3-ne/11?lang=eng" target="_blank">3 Nephi 11</a>, 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

had our final conferences with President Sonksen (except in Taebaek
we'll see him in a couple weeks for branch conference) and it was a good
time. They're just really nice. My favorite part was at the end when we
made a group chat and asked President and Sister Sonksen questions.
They're pretty darn wise. I was also grateful for Sister Sonksen
refunding the pizza I had to buy because lunch was $300 of chicken.

was there because he's a nerd, I guess. It was good to see him. I was
really busy trying to greet everyone I knew, which happened to be just
about everyone in the district. I think I made it, but it was hard
stuff. There were so many of them. I swear, I'm not ready for a church
meeting in Utah. It'll just be an overload. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #263238; display: inline; float: none; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #263238; display: inline; float: none; text-align: left;">The
meeting itself was also so spiritual. I knew and loved all the speakers
and praying people, and the Donghae Branch nailed their special musical
number. Our young man gave a talk about sharing the gospel with his
friends, and he gave our investigator a shoutout from the pulpit for
helping out with it the night before. They're both just great. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #263238; display: inline; float: none; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #263238;">The
Sonksens were the last speakers, and I just really loved their
messages. They both love the members here so much, and Sister Sonksen is
my greatest example in learning the language. She always gives talks in
Korean and this time she made little hearts for everyone. President
Sonksen also gave a great talk. When he started talking, Sister Lee
leaned over to me and said she thought he was going to cry. She was
right, but he didn't cry too much. It was a really happy talk and he
just seemed so grateful to have been able to be with the members out
here. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #263238;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #263238;">But
yeah. The meal afterward was great, and we got a district picture all
together, which I desperately needed. I'll get a hold of it somehow. But
yeah. It just felt so good to see all the people I've served with for
so long and be at a meeting I didn't have to plan in the slightest. It
was a real blessing. </span></span></div>

A peek into Elder Newton's Journal:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
June 1, 2018</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well,
it's June now. Nothing much happened today. But <a href="https://www.facebook.com/adam.newton.98434/posts/1726272280782097" target="_blank">I did post on Facebook</a> for the first time today. Some Americans made fun of me. Overall, I rate
it a 6/10 experience. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I forgot to bring my journal, but that was the gist of that day. (It's OK though, I'm not
hurt at all. It's chill. I know adding "it's chill" makes it seem less
chill, but you know how it is with spaghetti)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So
we've had a good week. We've still been calling our main English class
member and reading the Book of Mormon with her. She's been attending
for a long time, and has met with missionaries a lot before, but as we
teach her simply about the Restoration and read the Book of Mormon she's
been responding really well. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also learned a lot about service <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_745503949" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Wednesday</span></span>.
I was a little caught up in myself, but we did our service project
where we play an English Board game with a mostly paralyzed man. Just
that chance to sit with and think about him for an hour really helped me
oddly enough. He reminded me to appreciate nature. There were some good
clouds that day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_745503950" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Thursday</span></span>
was our weekly <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangneung" target="_blank">강릉</a> day. We saw President Sonksen and had our last
interviews with him. It was a little sad, but OK overall. No tears or
anything. I did shine my shoes by the church. There's a place President
always goes, and it's so good. I think my shoes are shinier than when I
bought them. We also ordered pizza. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh yeah,
there were sad things. My son, Elder Alban, had a hard time happen to
him. I don't know if I can really say it here in case it's private for
him, but if anyone feels like writing him a fun letter, then that might
be fun for him. I think it would help. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But yeah, that's <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_745503951" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Thursday</span></span> really. So we move on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This
weekend we had some miracles. We visited our Grandpa and he told us
about the time he swam across the Han River. We also were leaving the
church <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_745503952" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>
night and met an older man (in his late 50s?) who knew missionaries and
told us the story of how he reconnected with an old penpal. It was
really nice, but it ended up being better after he showed up to church <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_745503953" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Sunday</span></span>.
He couldn't stay long, but it was really cool to see that we were able
to help him in some little way before he went back to Seoul. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Church
went well. I got to bear my testimony on things I've learned from Mary
Newton. The youth are excited to see the President Nelson devotional in a
couple of weeks. I forgot one of the phones at the church (as usual) and
we watered the garden. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That night we had some
really good experiences while tracting. There was one old woman whom the
Sister Missionaries used to serve a lot who was really happy to see us
even though we couldn't go into her home. Then we met a man who let us
in. His door was unlocked actually, and when we opened it there was a
really strong scent of alcohol. (Never knew that scent before my
mission.) He was really thin, surrounded by empty bowls of ramen, empty
bottles of Soju, and a cup full of cigarette butts. I'm surprised he was
able to be as aware as he was. We couldn't stay long, and there wasn't a
lot we could do, but we talked to him for a minute. It was a rather
poignant moment. I was squatting next to him as he smoked and talked
about how he wanted to die. He had had a Book of Mormon once, but he
gave it to a friend because he felt like his heart wasn't open to it
yet. He said he needed hope, and we were able to promise him Hope in the
Plan of Salvation. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't know if he'll
remember that conversation. He very well might not remember anything
from last night. He said he was going to a hospital in Seoul with a
friend, so I don't think we'll have a chance to see him again. Or at
least for a long time. But I left that house and I remembered what
President Sonksen told me once, "Not give up on finding in Taebaek,"
and "Even when you don't find anyone to teach, it will change
you."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So. That was that. To end on a lighter
note, on the way home that night we met a really nice family who want us
to help them with English and didn't seem to uncomfortable that a
gospel message went with it. So that was a happy moment. </div>

On his actual birthday though we
went to District Sports Day for the second year in a row. It was so
good. The young adults in Gangneung (This phrase can either refer to the
whole district or just the Gangneung branch. Pretty handy) were in
charge. They really nailed it. We played a lot of 족구* and Taebaek won the
big relay race at the end. It was intense. But no missionaries got
injured this year, save some really nasty sunburns. (I was pretty OK,
don't worry, Mom)</div>

<div>
Also. Other memes happened.
Oh yeah, we rode the train home. I love the train. 10/10 would
recommend. Also because of that we figured out how to get to the biggest
cave in mainland Asia or something. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then we had more memes. More pizza in Donghae with my son. I always have sweet potato pizza with cheese crust. It's a delight. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Did
we have more memes? Oh yeah, our English Class Member (she's kind of
our investigator now, honestly. Like, we read the Book of Mormon with
her at night, and half the time English class is just a member present
lesson with her) was in charge of some festivals in the surrounding
towns. We went both days to talk to people, and she really appreciated
it. We also met a cool stamp guy, and I totally bought a personalized
stamp. </div>

<div>
And yeah, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_808162000" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>
we picked up trash in the beach in <a href="https://www.google.com/destination?q=%EA%B0%95%EB%A6%89&site=search&output=search&dest_mid=/m/01tkyc&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiuifKo7anbAhXSyVMKHbVyAikQ6tEBCEQoBDAB#dest_mid=/m/01tkyc&tcfs=EhwaGAoKMjAxOC0wNi0xNBIKMjAxOC0wNi0xOCAB" target="_blank">강릉</a> so that took up the whole day. We
couldn't even see our grandpa to remind him about church. Luckily
Sister Lee was at the library <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_808162001" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>
morning and reminded him. Apparently he just got up and left his stuff
at the desk because he was worried he'd be late for the meeting. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He was half an hour early. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And yeah, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_808162002" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>
was really good, and finally less stressful. It all just went smoothly.
Almost as smooth as Elder O'Brien's mango juice. We had some random
visitors from Utah, and one of the visitors will be a senior missionary
starting in July. She really liked the <a href="https://www.google.com/destination?q=%EA%B0%95%EC%9B%90%EB%8F%84&authuser=0&site=search&output=search&dest_mid=/m/01tq0k&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjSkazH7anbAhVDuVMKHcKQDosQ6tEBCFAoBDAB#dest_mid=/m/01tq0k&tcfs=EhwaGAoKMjAxOC0wNi0xNBIKMjAxOC0wNi0xOCAB" target="_blank">강원도</a>, but she's worried that since
she's Korean she'll have to translate for other old people in the
office. But she was fun. Apparently she owns a sandwich shop in Layton. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And
yeah, after sacrament meeting one of the members just went out back and set up
the church farm in less than two hours. It was really impressive. Now we
just need to water it, and have really good lunches at church.† I love
Taebaek. No one would ever do this kind of thing in Utah. </div>

Something I've learned out here is
pondering while on or waiting for buses. You spend a lot of time on
them, and it's a situation where it's rather ineffective to study or
call people. Sleeping is pretty effective sometimes, if we're being
honest. I just don't fall asleep well on them. I mean often. Anyway,
I've found that that time is best spent pondering. It's just such
beautiful scenery to take in. I've definitely gained appreciation for
the scenery. </div>

Really, I've thought of
everything from my investigators, to members, to just the beauty of
creation. It's one of the moments of missionary work that I won't get to
experience as fully even if I come visit later. So you've got to
appreciate it while it lasts. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also we had
exchanges with the legendary Elder Mann. He served here for six transfers a
bit ago, and he's the kind of missionary you just hear all these
stories about. He would walk down the road and have a story about every
single store and owner. He loved them all so much, and it was really
good to see. It was a short time, so we just saw about half of the branch with him while he was here, but the strength of those
relationships was so amazing. </div>

We had a lot of

English Class member to read the Book of Mormon, and played billiards
with the youth <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_404382259" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span> morning. Then Elder Mann went home and the aforementioned English class

to a meeting in Donghae about youth conference. Then we watched Elder
Renlund that night. </div>

<div>
Oh yeah, he was around. It
was spiritual. He had a lot of good stuff. He talked about what we have
to do to prepare for the second coming using parables in <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/matt/25" target="_blank">Matthew 25</a>.

Oh
that's right, I had to spend a great deal of time at the church making
the Taebaek Church History for last year. It was fun. Also hard, seeing
as I wasn't there. It's OK, I just spent almost seven hours in the clerk's
office <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_726436429" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Sunday</span></span>. It worked out though. </div>
<div>

<div>
We also saw the family. They still exist, if you weren't aware. </div>

<div>
Oh by the way, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_726436430" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Saturday</span></span>
I was waiting for the computer to load and found out how to proportion a
balloon kangaroo. It's sick. I'll demonstrate sometime. </div>

Also
Old Branch President Kim is still the best. I called him, along with
our whole branch, to wish him a happy parents day. It was good. Then he
said he was planning on visiting <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_726436431" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Sunday</span></span>.
So it was great. He kept our sacrament meeting attendance not too low
and then after the family conversationing we did some clarinet. Then I
had to do clerk stuff and so his family looked around the Pond while
they waited for that and the water to turn back on. Once that was done
they came back and did the dishes and cleaned a bit even though everyone
else was gone and they had a two-hour drive back home. They're the best.
They also gave me fake meat to eat, which I thought was hilarious. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And yeah. Those be the memes. Peace<img alt="✌" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="270c" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/270c" style="margin: 0 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>

<div>
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</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_147915499" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>
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. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh
yeah, and since it was Children's Day we spent a good minute <a href="http://elderadamreesenewton.blogspot.com/2016/10/week-11-missionary-or-professional.html" target="_blank">making balloon animals</a> 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.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_147915500" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> was also good. I love fast and testimony meeting. It's so much easier to plan. Then we taught about testimonies in <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_147915501" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>
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. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's about it. Thanks for all the memes, and we'll see you next week </div>

So there's a sister who was less active in Wonju who's planning on
moving to Taebaek this summer. Since her house will be closer to the
church and her schedule clearer, the sisters referred her to us. We've
been texting, and on Wednesday when we were on the way back home from
Donghae, she texted us and asked if we could meet since she was visiting
Taebaek. We couldn't, but she sent us these pictures. She really liked
the trees for some reason. She's so sweet.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But
anyway, we get home and after a dinner of our favorite bean sprout soup
place we hopped on a bus out somewhere when lo and behold we get another
text from her. Elder O'Brien has the phone, so he looks first and is a
little confused so he has me read it, and it says that she's on the same
bus as us. So we got to say hi, and even got off at the same spot. It
was pretty cool</div>

<div>
Well a lot went down this week, but it all just goes down to Sunday, doesn't it? Every <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1853639912" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> is an adventure out here. It gets to be a lot though, so playing on <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2006/10/sunday-will-come?lang=eng" target="_blank">one of Elder Wirthlin's talks</a>, I've taken up the saying, "<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1853639913" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> will end." No matter how much we have to stretch and bend to put church together, it'll end. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This
week was going pretty smoothly though. We had gone to Gangneung for
President Interviews and I had like a 30-minute conversation with
President Sonksen. I only got to see Sister Sonksen for 15 minutes
though, because we needed to run to get a taxi to get a bus for English
class. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That was also fun because only the branch president came. It was a great class though. For the message we
practiced inviting him to be baptized and he really liked it. It even
led to a discussion about helping his friends start to meet with the
missionaries. That was a good night. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But I got
sidetracked. Going on with the week, we also went to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donghae_City" target="_blank">동해</a> again. There
were sick treats made by Sister Sonksen for district meeting. We ate
well and had some good training.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then we skip right on over to <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1853639915" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>.
We farmed the morning away at the branch president's house. He wasn't
there, though, he was out in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilsan" target="_blank">일산</a> for a mission reunion. His wife's dad
was there though. Father-in-law. Wow, a word in English. Amazing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So
yeah, none of the people we worked with were members of the church, and
they had a lot of questions about what we did. They also invited us
back to help later, so Operation: Farm Conversion seems to be running
smoothly. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After that we changed, cleaned the
church, met someone who might be in a gang, ran into some construction
workers doing stuff by the church, and did those regular <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1853639916" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span> things. (<img alt="🎵" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f3b5" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f3b5" style="margin: 0 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /><a href="https://www.lds.org/music/library/childrens-songbook/saturday?lang=eng" target="_blank">The day we get ready for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1853639914" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span></a><img alt="🎵" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f3b5" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f3b5" style="margin: 0 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" />) We even made some time to tract that night, but that was also when <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1853639917" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> fell apart. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
had just started when we got a text from the branch president saying
that due to the aforementioned mission reunion going long he had missed
the last bus to Taebaek, so his family would attend church with their
oldest daughter in her ward. (By the way, she's amazing. She's in high school, but has lived alone in another part of Korea for like a few
years.) Thus half the branch, the main talk and the Gospel Doctrine
teacher were gone for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1853639918" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
then spent the rest of the night worrying about how to do all the
things. Transfer calls came and went; meanwhile I wrote a talk, freaked
out and called all the members about getting our Young Man a ride to
church and how none of the missionaries left. But we get one more elder.
There's always a lot of branch business. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
did eventually get to bed and soon enough it was the next morning. I got
up, hopped in the shower and realized I was the presiding authority at
church that day. It was weird. In the end we had seven people total at
church. Our Young Man, our Old Man, and three sisters. They're the best,
dangit. So faithful. The church meeting itself went smoothly enough. I
don't know how I was able to talk for 20 minutes about the priesthood
without rambling really. The other two talks were really good though.
Brother Go (he wasn't with his family in Seoul, thank goodness) just
touched my heart. He is the best Teacher in the whole church. His birthday is <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1853639920" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span> though, so soon he'll be the best Priest. </div>

<div>
After sacrament meeting we just set up the TV and watched <a href="https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2010-07-117-joseph-smith-prophet-of-the-restoration?lang=eng" target="_blank">"Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration."</a> The members really liked it, and they shared
some really nice testimonies at the end of it. Afterward we had lunch
together (except for Brother Go; he had to leave fast to study. The sisters made sure he had some food though. They're so nice). It felt
like a family meal. It was about the same size and everything. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But
I've gone on long enough. Nothing much really happened after that
anyway. We just talked for a long time and the sisters asked what kind
of a wife I wanted. I went with "faithful." Then we took some photos, did
the clerk stuff, rearranged the talk schedule for the third time I swear,
and had a quick dinner before knocking some doors. So yeah, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1853639919" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> did end. Good stuff. Or Dark Stuff, huh. Oh well. Have a good week!</div>

We
started off the week by sending the sisters off and heading to DongHae
for district meeting. It was my last chapel of the district, so I felt
very accomplished. We had pizza with my Son and Elder Steward. (Sadly,
neither are pictured. We'll do better for next week.) It's really green
out on the coast. But Taebaek still has cherry blossoms because we're
chill.</div>

Then we had a quick one-day break and
sent me off to Gangneung for exchanges. It was a good time. I met my old
English class at the college, and then studied syntax with Joon and
tried to write my talk for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1324557002" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>.
That was fun.

Well that's the three areas really. So we made the whole email! Yayyyyyyy O guess we have time for something else.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh
yeah, now that there's just the two of us, the number of things we have
to do for sacrament meeting has gone way up. Elder O'Brien is relearning
the piano, I conduct, break the bread for the sacrament while he plays
the hymn, and this week I even had a 25-minute talk. It would have been
shorter, but a member forgot to come to church (it's OK though, we
love him) and the only other speaker was our Primary child. We lucked
out that he spoke for an entire 5 minutes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But
yeah, the topic was the Book of Mormon, so in a stroke of laziness and
genius I decided that during the week instead of working on my talk, I'd
devote personal study to finishing the Book of Mormon. So I've finished
it yet again. I just spoke on what I learned in this most recent
reading and added a few stories for time. It worked out really well
actually, because I may or may not have been finishing it up right
before church.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe I'll send a copy home, but
it's all in Korean. I didn't really have time for an English draft for
this one. Whoops. Just know I gave Mom a shout-out for Harry Potter
Time. That should be sufficient.</div>

We
also had to go to Seoul though. It was the worst except for the bus
ride going through the one corner of Wonju's area I never really went
to. That was great. We also showed up to Seoul about the same time as
our zone leaders, so we got dinner together at a really quaint Thai
restaurant. Good memes and special made vegan food were had. </div>

As for the rest of our lives though,
it was pretty normal once we got back to Taebaek. We saw some nice
people and did service. Started the farm at the church. Also we made a new
friend from the phone. They live in Gangnam now, but they like to call
us for English questions. They're really good at English though, so the
questions are like, "What's the difference between 'get,' 'make' and 'have'?"</div>

But our sisters have been sent off to Seoul, so now
it's just me and Elder O'Brien in charge of this vast expanse of Korean
countryside. Also five meetings at church every week. And we lost our piano
players. So Elder O'Brien needs to relearn hymns again. I don't know
how the sacrament will work, but we'll figure it out. </div>

On
the bright side, we've combined districts with <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Donghae-si,+Gangwon-do,+South+Korea/@37.5156948,129.0930805,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x3561b8acba2642e1:0xf1dbcfb3c0ba0027!8m2!3d37.5247192!4d129.1142915" target="_blank">동해</a> so I will finally be

was really good. I think my definition of a successful party has
changed a lot as I've slowly moved to smaller and smaller church units,
though. I think we had about 10 people there? 12? It made the Easter egg
hunt really fun though, because all the adults participated too. We did
that, an egg spoon race, and a special musical number ft. arrangements
by Sister Cho. Then we switched into birthday party mode for our young
woman. We got her ramen she likes and a sick Disney Princess notebook.
It was a good time. We even had three investigators there, which was gr90^^

I don't think there was much. English class? We did get a random call
from someone asking about why we don't have crosses on our church. Also
if we celebrate Easter, and what our traditions were. It was nice to
have someone be curious. </div>

we went to Gangneung. It was the prettiest bus ride of my life since my
transfer in the fall. Spring is so pretty, dangit. And Taebaek is so
cold that we haven't had any yet, but the lower elevation has cherry blossoms up a storm. It's so pretty. No pics though. So you'll have to
come here now or next year. </div>

Oh yeah, the
meeting. It was good. President Sonksen spoiled conference, and my
training went well. I hope they understand I wasn't telling them
necessarily to study Korean Sign Language, but more to find fun language study things for them. Also I talked about spiritual gifts, and why we
receive them. #D&C 46:9</div>

Conference! It was insane. We went on exchanges with Sister Fryer,
which was weird. Also it snowed that day. But it was sunny at the same
time? I dunno. We had super spicy <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tteok-bokki" target="_blank">떡볶이</a>, but it was delicious. But wow, it
was spicy. </div>

Also we made tortillas up a storm
because apparently all you need is flour and water? I should have known
this years ago. But it's chill. The members liked our tacos. Also the
other conference snacks we made and/or bought. Sister Kim really liked
the bag of chiplike things we found. The bag was the size of a small
child. We barely dented it, even after eating it for two days straight.</div>

Also we had a little miracle <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1919079570" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Sunday</span></span>.
The morning session had just started when one of our investigators
walked intp the church. We had told him about conference at the Easter party, but he didn't really seem like he would come. But there he was,
in the flesh. He said Sister Lee had invited him, so he came. He even
paid attention and everything. Or so I hear. He was in the Korean room. </div>

But
yeah, that's a vague view of the week. I hope you all had a good time
with whatever you did. I don't know what it was, but I'm sure it was
nice. Good job. </div>

No Jam. So yeah. Good Stuff.) We saw it on the wall when we were
tracting. </td></tr>
