Moved, but not transferred

Itaewon

This week didn't have much, we were really busy with moving. We moved out of our house into a house actually in our area. That was nice. It's right next to Itaewon, the foreigner capital of Korea. There are so many foreigners, and we live right next to the army base, which is nice. It's weird, being able to speak a lot of English, or to hear other people's conversations and actually understand. Or having people understand what you say ㅋㅋ Living here will be nice, we've already met a few people on the street who seem interested, but we hope to still meet Koreans so we can continue to learn more Korean.

Speaking of learning Korean, my new trainee, Elder Harrison, is amazing. He studied French for 5 years, a little Russian, and is going into linguistics at BYU. He hasn't studied Korean before, but he's picking it up faster than anyone I've ever seen. He's awesome. It's my fourth time training, and I feel like I'm learning so much from these new missionaries. They have such a huge desire to work hard and they have the greatest spirit with them. 

One miracle we've seen this week is the less active we've been working with for the past month or two is now coming to church regularly, but also expressing an interest in getting the Melchizedek priesthood and going to the temple! He wants to do temple work for his mom, and so he's been asking for interviews with the bishop to go to the temple. It's so amazing to see a less active not only come back to activity in the church, but to begin progressing, to receive all the ordinances he can. It's so fulfilling to see that.

That's about all we have to report for this week, but we'll go out and make miracles for next week's report.
