This week was good, Johannes Kim finally came to church. Bout time for real. His baptismal interview is this week so hopefully that all goes well. I also invited our friend 유병우 to be baptised this week but he said no. Well, technically he said he'd be baptised next year, but brotha is oldddd so I don't know if we've got that much time to work with. Trying to get the most clutch buzzer beater.
Elder Dastrup and I got on a bus to go to the church but it was completely empty. We sat allll the way at the back of the bus and I sarcastically said to him, "what a fantastic finding opportunity." In miraculous answering, the bus driver reached his hand up and waved a Book of Mormon at us. I couldnt believe it. I went up to the front of the bus and talked with the driver about the Book of Mormon for the whole ride to the church. He had apparently gotten the BoM from some elders a few months ago.
I was standing at the front of our district council last week as we were looking over our district statistics when Sister Anderson whispered, "He's here!" while staring out the little window on the door into the hallway. I was confused for 5 seconds until that gay piano guy who molested me a month ago walked into the room. Props to him for being so bold to walk into the middle of a meeting with 16 missionaries I guess, but also bruh what are you doing??? I told him I would talk to him in a minute but that I was in the middle of a meeting. True to tradition, we found him on the 3rd floor playing piano and explained that he can't come without an appointment again. Next time he trespasses I'm calling the cops on my momma.
That's not the only visitor we had last week. While my comp and I were waiting for our turn at president interviews, an extremely special needs red-dot walked into the church. Now normally you need a key to get in the church, but the door was unlocked because missionaries were coming and going all day for interviews. He came in and made a beeline directly for the muffins that are provided for the missionaries at interviews. I have never seen a better visual representation of "you shouldn't have!! " Deciding he wanted to go to the bathroom before stealing a muffin, he ran around the corner into the bathroom where I heard a toilet flush but never a sink, and then came around the corner with his hand and pants sopping wet. Now, call it greed if you want, but I ain't had my muffin yet and this man was about to touch my muffin with pee hands, and I was not about to let that happen, so I interviened. He was now a biohazard. I explained that there was only one muffin per missionary and that not everyone had come yet. This upset the visitor. I asked him to leave but he just sat down on the couch and eyeballed the muffins. I asked him again to leave and he said, "아이고 배고프네!!" Which means "man! I'm so hungry!" While eyeballing the muffins. My comp and I have been quoting that all week.
Finally, I got him out of the church and locked the doors, but only about 30 seconds went by before we heard angry slams against the door and a blood-curdling scream. I went and talked to him through the door and man... his knuckles were bloody from punching the door so many times and he was screaming for a muffin. Bro really wanted a muffin. Next time I'll make sure they buy more.
Spiritual Thought: One benefit of learning a monstrocity of a language is that it forces you to teach simply. Watching such simple teachings change someone's life is truly amazing. The gospel is so massive, but its core is so simple. Jesus, faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Love you all!
