Week 74

Hey there!!

Happy Halloween!!!! They don't celebrate halloween here in korea, but the foriegn missionaries usually throw a halloween party at the church, so we are having a party on the day after halloween...should be fun :)

This week we had another great busy week. We met some new investigators and our investigators are progressing!! We all fasted as a mission last monday because our mission was kind of in a slump...there hadn't been any baptisms in a few weeks in a row, so we all decided to fast together and this week there ended up being 6 baptisms...so it was a week of miracles all across the Daejeon mission!

One of the miracles for us this week is that our investigator accepted a baptismal date for November 23rd!! She is the neice of a member in our ward and she used to meet the missionaries when she was in elementary school, but then her aunt moved to america and I guess they lost contact with the missionaries, but now she is in middle school she is 15 years old and she has been coming out to church with her aunt for the past month. So we are really excited for her!! Her name is Hayree so you can pray for her :)

Also we met 2 new investigators through our English advertisements. They are 13 and 11 years old (brother and sister) and their mom wants them to study English and thinks it is good for them to learn about church. The mom herself is Buddhist, but she thinks that her children should choose for themselves and the kids really like going to church. We asked the kids if they thought that their mom would let them come to our church on Sunday and they said probably not, but then we got a call from their mom that night that said she was kind of worried about having her kids go to church, but she liked us so much that she thinks it will be good and gave permission for them to come to church!! So if they come next week and have a good experience, it could work out really well for them!! Our goal is to help them make a happy family at home. They are really cute. Their names are Minsung (boy) and Reeyoon (girl). So you can pray for them and their family as well :)

We had another investigator come to church this week and had a really great lesson with her during the sunday school time with a member so that was exciting! We are going to try to invite her to be baptized this week. Pray for Sister Bay!!!

I feel like there are a lot of prepared people being sent into our path and I am so grateful to know them and to share my testimony with them. I love this gospel because it fills me with hope. I know it is true. I love you all and hope you have a great week!! See you in a few weeks!!

Love
