Hello,
So the
new transfer started today! Nothing changing with me. Me and Elder Shaw are
staying together for another one. The last transfer was only 5 weeks because Pres.
Gilbert is leaving sometime at the end of the week and Pres. Barrow comes on
Friday! So this new transfer will be 7 weeks to make up for the one short this
past time. I'm writing so late today because we went to Busan for transfer
meeting to see the Gilberts for the last time and the meeting was kind of long
and after some waiting we finally got back to our area around 7:20ish. So we
are emailing on display computers in the store so if the email stops suddenly
it is because they tell us to get off......
So since
I just realized I never told anything about Elder Shaw because I hadn't
known anything 5 weeks ago I will tell you some stuff now. He is 19 turning 20
next month, from Burley, Idaho. Went to BYU summer and fall of 2012 and has
been out about 5 more months than me. He likes hardcore music. Pretty good at
Korean and likes to work hard.
So this
past week....a lot happened but nothing super great like the week before. I
went on a companion exchange with Elder Barr our district leader and I went to
his area. We met some interesting people that day. One of them was a little
drunk and when we were walking by he called us over to talk to him because he
had a question. He at first asked if there was a difference between God and
Jehovah in the old testament....he talked about a lot of stuff and it pretty
much ended in him telling Elder Barr to show his (Elder Barr) heart to him (the
guy)....it was super weird and it wasn't making much sense...so Elder Barr kind
of just stared forward and thought for a few seconds and this guy I guess had
enough because he just got up and walked away. Super weird. We met a few other
good people but that kind of didn't end too well either. Most people seem to
hate religion now (especially Christians) because of the boat accident. I don't
know how much you know now about it but the captain and company manager ran
away right? And something about one of their religions preacher and that belief
being the whole reason they like did what they did. Well because of that lots
of people think that our religion is just like that and don't want anything to
do with it. Also we hear a lot about us being a cult.....it's is kind of
annoying because it just makes people not really listen to us when we talk. In
a way they are hardening their heart but we still have the faith the when we
talk to the people that their heart will have the even slightest softness to
feeling the spirit.
We went and did 'construction' again
this week. It was just actually just cleaning up stones and stuff and sweeping
because they had just pored the cement a few days before and they have to wait
for the cement to completely cure before they can do more building. Well it
went well, our investigator is much more open to coming to church now. He says
that for sure when he isn't working he will try and come out. He also says that
he will bring his friend that we met that day with him. He says that his friend
drinks a lot and puts drinking over his family so he thinks that we can help
him through church and stuff, hopefully that works out!
I didn't
get to meet our old investigator this week because of the exchange and because
when they met him his wife told us to stop coming. We are just giving him a
little time but we did take a message card by his house really quick on Friday.
So keep him in your prayers please.
Well
anyways that is it for this week actually! Read the Book of Mormon! It will
bring a special spirit into your life that nothing else can! Act upon the
things your read! I love you all! Look for people to serve this week, go out of
your way to serve them!
Love,
Elder
Frampton
