Hello,
Super good this week! Very busy
again! A lot of things that happened.
So the biggest thing that
happened was that in the neighboring area (part of our missionary district)
held a luau at their church. They had been preparing for a long time, even
before I came. Well they had us participate and help out, so when I came I had
to learn 3 dances in two weeks. Anyways we helped prepare for that this week
and practiced some more and then had it on Saturday. Over 100 people showed up!
There were 10 acts, 2 ukulele acts, 1 hula act which I participated in, like 3
native American dances, 2 hip hop ones, a new Zealand dance using Boi, these
balls attached to strings that we swing around, then like a clapping rhythm
thingamabob which I also participated. One of the elders in the other area is
from Australia but his dad is like a professional dancer and so he took a lot
of lessons from him so one of the Native American dances was a sweet hoop
dance. Can’t even describe it. By the end he had like 8 hoops and used them as
wings of a bird.....it was cool!
This week we had 4 investigators
that could potentially come to church but then none of them came! 2 of them
later told us that they couldn't come because of either work or family event.
The other 2 we haven't heard from yet. Well we met one, brother Kim Kyeong Hwan,
guy that really loves our church. We met him Sunday but also earlier in the
week on Wednesday as well. We invited him to read the Book of Mormon and pray
and we would check up every other day. We found out on Wednesday that he liked
the church but didn't really know if Heavenly Father existed or not. Well when
we heard from him last he had prayed but hadn't read. Then when met on Sunday
night and he had read! He said that he really loves the church and now the Book
of Mormon. He really enjoyed reading it. He said that it taught him about
Christ and he felt good while reading it. He even was like, while reading I
definitely received inspiration. He says he that he feel God and Jesus Christ
and the Spirit exist, he first thought as one person but then we helped him to
understand that they are 3 separate beings. Also at first he thought it was
inspiration but not necessarily an answer from God. We helped him to realize
that is exactly how an answer comes! It was one of the greatest experiences
ever! He just seemed so peaceful! and happy! He didn't accept the baptismal
invitation we extended but he gladly accepted to pray about it in order to know
whether that is when he should be baptized! He is super great.
So something unexpected happened
when we were waiting at the church before English Class on Thursday. We were
waiting and the phone in the clerk's office started ringing. It was someone who
was going to come to English class! It was unexpected because we have no idea
how they got that number. One of the only ways is to look at the little sign
outside the church doors on the second floor. Our cell number is on it too so
it is weird that his friend who gave the number had the number. We are super
glad we answered it because he now became a new investigator! He is a tennis
coach and travels a lot with his students and he is going to the states in a
few months and needs to learn useful phrases and words so he can use them at hotels
and stores and such! We set up with him to meet him 2 times a week! He seems
pretty open to hearing the gospel and trying commitments! Very awesome
This week was rainy again.
Probably at least a third of the time I have been here it has rained. We walk
around little streams and puddles that form, sometimes big puddles... my shoes
often get soaked! Very not fun. haha
Hope you have a good week!
Love,
Elder Frampton
