Muffin Man pt. 2 4/12/26

 Yeah that's right. He's back.  In case you didn't know, muffin man is extremely fond of basketball, a grind I can respect. Unfortunately, due to his frisky behavior around the sister missionaries, and extremely unsanitary explorative hands, we don't invite him to basketball anymore. That doesn't stop him from inviting himself though, even when we do not have any basketball activities. My conversation over text saturday went something like this: 

Him: I am on my way to the basketball activity. 
Me: There's actually no activity today! Sorry! 
Him: My tummy hurts, we have to do basketball activity. 
Me: There isn't one, please don't come to the church today!! 
Him: 교회로 출발합니다 (I have departed for the church) 

We hoped he wouldn't show up but we got word from the sisters a couple hours later that the "muffin red dot" was on the fourth floor balling up. Together with the tech elders we girded up our loins and took the elevator to the 4th floor. When the door opened, it was pitch black up there, straight up a horror movie. We knew he was in the darkness somewhere. We ended up finding him and coaxed him into the elevator where he started tickling me.  Last time I'm ever getting boxed like a fish like that. Molested counter: 2 (People, not times)

Our recently baptised member fell off the face of the earth after his confirmation. I don't know if Satan attacked the man or if he died, but no phones reach him and he doesn't answer his door, if he is even in his house at all. When we taught him there were no problems at all, if he had a concern he was really good about asking us about it and not hiding or asking apostates on reddit nah mean. Pretty confusing. 

One of my favorite friends is a guy named 김욱 who reffered himself for english about a month ago now. He's like 50 and ever since his 2nd english class has pulled up wearing the most drippy suits I've ever seen because he wants to "match the elders." He absolutely loves fishing so we've been bonding over that of course, and this week we were able to have a really good member lesson with him. He's reading the Book of Mormon now.

Spiritual Thought:   I happen to be a member of the exclusive "Coombski Mission Drive," and my boy Elder Coombs has put some fire talks on there. One of my favorites is "Get an Attitude" and in it he said a heart that says "how bad can I be?" Is filthy. The talk was mostly geared to chastity, but what an important principle for every aspect of discipleship. It helped me realize I need to stop fence sitting and try to not only have "clean hands," but also a "clean heart." The scriptures always use that in a chain because both are necessary for true spiritual power. How valiant can I be?
