Exchanges

This was the week of exchanges. I was all over my zone. The week started out with an exchange with the AP's. We had a great time running around to appointments and meeting some new investigators. The next exchange was with a team in the next area over. Again the day was full of running from place to place. We met this one nineteen year old kid. He was really nice. His dream is to become a cook and he is planning on going to Canada to study. His sister met the missionaries a couple of months ago and he was interested. We're working with him but I think that getting him to church will be a problem. 

The next exchange took me back to my second area. That was kind of weird. I walked the streets that I walked about ten months ago. It was funny. We went to visit less active members. We came to one house and knocked on the door. This old man came out and he and I instantly recognized each other. "I told you months ago that he doesn't live here! Don't you remember?" Unfortunately I didn't remembered until it was a little too late.

The next day I went back to Haeoondae. Elder Oh and I got back together after being with different companions for the past three days. We were out heading to a far off part of the city and walking up a hill. Elder Oh's neck suddenly started hurting. He stopped for a moment then we tried going again. It hurt even more so we decided to start going back. His neck kept hurting until we came to a stop light and started talking to a college student. He told us that he's been wondering about religion and been attending a couple different churches lately. We talked with him and asked him if he believed in God. He said that he was trying to. I told him that we have the method to know for sure if God exists or not. We gave him a book of Mormon and will hopeful be able to meet next week.

The last miracle of this week happened at church. There is a recent convert of one year in our congregation. He has a son that he brings to church. The son hasn't been baptized and as long as I've been here he's been avoiding the missionaries. Yesterday Elder Oh had the idea to pull him out of Sunday school and give a lesson. He was really reluctant at first, but we shared with him the tree of life vision and explained how Nephi wanted to know what his father knew. We compared it to him and his father. He really liked the scripture story. Before his dad converted they were really faithful Protestants. He said that he read the Bible a lot and that the book of Mormon scriptures that we shared were really good. He even agreed to be baptized and we set a date for the end of the month.
