Hello,
So this week not too much
happened. Just a few fun/good experiences I will share
We were in English class on Friday
and I usually help with teaching basic. So there was this one lady talking
about her house and cleaning it and then talked about how she grew her own
garden. She said a bunch of vegetables that she grew most in English. She said
'cucumber' in Korean and then I said 'cucumber' in English so she could learn
it.....well then the other guy that was in our class was talking about
something and then he said that he doesn't really 'cucumber the house.' He
definitely meant to say 'clean the house' but he said cucumber instead. Super
funny.
On Thursday I was on companion
exchanges. I ate a lot for dinner with that Elder and got really really sick
the next day....My stomach pretty much died Friday at dinner and I did not have
a very good night but I was fine in the morning. I really shouldn't have eaten
that much food. Well on the exchange we talked to this one guy about churches
and he ended up rambling on and on about how there were like 7 churches within
a 5 minute walk from where we were....also as we talked he was chugging down a
beer. Tried to help him now about living day prophets but he wouldn't really
listen. It was very interesting.
Oh last Monday we met with the
recent convert that came back from America. We found out a little about him.
His aunt lives in Virginia and he went and lived with her and her family and
studied English by himself and by talking with people while living there. They
are members of the church and as good members do they took the opportunity to
introduce him to the gospel! They invited him to participate in family
scripture study and prayers. They also invited the missionaries over a lot and
then he started to listen to the message of the gospel. He doesn't really know
much about religion but when he heard what they said he felt a good feel and
eventually got baptized. Anyhow we met with him and talked and talked about the
Book of Mormon with him. Really felt the spirit's warmth and comfort as we
talked!
A Sister in church told us about
some cool thing. Nobody knew what it meant except her so I don't know if it is
made up or an actual Korean thing. We were talking about what a good life is
and how old we want to live. She told us this 9988234-she said '99' is living to
age 99. '88' is living healthy and being fit when you are old. (Based off of
what '88' is in Korean) '23' is 2 to 3 days in hospital then '4' (4 in Chinese
is death) so die after 2 to 3 days in the hospital after living a long good
life is good she said. Just interesting.
This week is a big Korean holiday
so we could be super not busy this week since everyone is so busy....we will
see:/
Hope you all have a good week!
Love,
Elder Frampton
