Hello!
So transfers were this
week! That is the biggest change. I'm of course staying in my area and my new
companion is Elder Suttner. He is in his 3rd transfer just finished being
trained. Only been here for 3 months.
It seems like we will
get along great. He is very diligent and wanting to do lots of work. On the
subway ride back to our area we talked like 3 different people about the
church. Even pretty much taught the message of the restoration to one person.
It was pretty awesome. He is pretty good at Korean and he isn't afraid to talk
to people so it went great. I expect big miracles this transfer!
Wednesday I was on
exchanges and we spent 4.5 hours with the "Daeshin Grandmother." just
a really old lady in the area I went to that is pretty famous and also crazy.
Anyhow, the elders in that area usually take her to the hospital so I went this
past week and we just helped her around and just listened to her talk and talk
and talk. It was Elder Kim's last week there and she really like Elder Kim (the
elder serving there) and he gave her a picture of them together and she cried.
Just an interesting experience that I don't even know how to explain. It was
fun though being able to serve. I was also in that area the night before and we
went to visit another member in the hospital to give a blessing. It was great
to have the opportunity to exercise the priesthood in the service of others.
On Friday we went to the
church and there was this couple in our parking lot feeding the cats. There are
lots and lots of cats that just roam the streets and they brought some food and
maybe 7 or 8 cats were eating the food. It was kind of weird and makes me
wonder if they do that often.
Saturday we were able to
go and visit a less active member that can't really leave the house because he
has to take care of his bedridden wife. It was really good because we were able
to share a good message and pray with them and feel the spirit. They looked
happy that we came and visited. After that we went and visited another member
and shared a quick message outside her door. She is super generous and gave us
lots of food to take home!
Yesterday we just had
some awkward visits after our missionary correlation meeting. The 4
missionaries and branch president, 1st counselor and branch clerk
all visited a less active lady....it was nice but awkward. After that we went
with the clerk and 1st counselor to visit a member and his family. We
originally had an appointment but we had ended up canceling and then the counselor
and clerk thought we still had it so we went to visit and the counselor called
the member and said that we were all together and they would pray and leave and
we would stay. Pretty much long story short we visited a member that we had an
appointment but canceled then went with the counselor who thought we still had
the appointment and it was awkward because we didn't really know how to
communicate the right things beforehand.....yea, just awkward. Sorry if that
doesn't make sense.
Anyhow the members we
visited were fine and were nice and we had a good little visit.
So last year I met a guy
in Geumjeong and then ended up referring him to this area because he lives
here. Long story short I always imagined me just running into him on the street
and that happened for real yesterday! He said he remembered me from way back
when. He had met the missionaries here once. We will try to meet him again!
K that's it! Have a good
week!
Love Elder Frampton
