Well my old companion is gone and my new companions are
here! I am still in my first area which is sweet! This is the best area in
our mission!
I have our old AP as my companion and we are with a visa waiter. He will be serving in California!

They are both super funny and we are working really really
really really really really hard and it is a lot of fun!
So this week. Well I was still super sick so I was dying at
the beginning of the week, but now I am ok.
Some highlights for the week:
On pday we had a big mission activity where about 100
missionaries got together and played kickball! It was a lot of fun and we got
to be with a lot of missionaries!
After kickball me and Elder Young (my house mate and zone
leader) challenged two Koreans in a game that is like soccer and
volleyball combined! We beat them and they were so surprised that they took
pictures with us and were amazed two Americans could beat them at a Korean
sport!
Tuesday we met with our recent convert who is super super great!
literally perfect and he is super handsome. But he doesn't have a girlfriend...
so all night we tried to get him a girls number and get him a girlfriend. We
ran around looking for a girl he liked and when he was too scared we dragged
him to her. He didn't end up getting a number but it was a super fun night! If
you can picture two Americans dragging a Korean around and making him talk to
girls!
Then Wednesday I got my new companions! We pretty much
spent all day going over training and welcome, because Elder Kim is new!
Then Thursday I get a call from our recent convert. He says
"guess what Elder Goon?" I say what, he says "I got a girls
number" and he was so happy but he was like "I need your help texting
her so we will do that tomorrow!" I said ok!
Then Friday we had a really cool faith building experience
that I will end with. So we had about an hour and we wanted to try to give out
10 Book of Mormons. Which is a lot because we only give them to people who will
take the time to stop and talk and listen. By the way our mission standard of
excellence is give 10 Book of Mormons a week, not 1 hour. But we made the goal
and were about to start and me and Elder Jenkins were both a little doubtful.
Elder Jenkins said watch how easy this will be. Now in Korea, other churches literally will just stick a pamphlet in your face and say
take it. And that happens so much that people just take it and don't try to
ignore it or fight it.
So Elder Jenkins went up to this guy and said hey take this,
and that is not what we are supposed to do, but he wanted to show how easy it
could be. And the man said, I am actually really interested in this book and
have been wanting to learn about it for years, can I have two?
We gave him two and got his number and were very surprised.
It boosted our faith and we were able to get our goal that
night~!
Well I hope you all have a good week!
Elder Goon
