So this week! We did exchanges with the district leaders in our zone, it was super fun! I stayed with Elder 송(S) in 해운대 the first one, then went to 광안(Gwangan) the second one, and was with Elder M, who was in the MTC with me!
In Haeundae our church is right by our apartment, on a walking road that gets a fair amount of people, as there are schools right by it too. So sometimes when we do language or companion study, we set up a table in front of the church, then study there so we are visible to people. We also set a desk with Book of Mormons, pamphlets, and a BOM question and answer sheet.
Well with Elder S, we were studying like that, when a man had stopped and was looking at the BOM question and answer list. So we talked to him, shared a little bit about our beliefs. He said he didn't know anything about God, but wanted to learn. So we set up an appointment for the next morning, then met, and taught about God and Jesus Christ! He wasn't ready to make a 2nd appointment yet, but he always hangs out on the benches right by the church with other elderly people (He is like 78) so we have seen him again since then, and will try to set up another appointment! It was really cool to teach him; he has almost no concept of God, but was very willing to listen.
In Gwangan I helped teach the English class, then we had district meeting that morning. It was fun! I like Elder M and elder S; they are both really fun missionaries.
We also met with our recent convert couple and an American family in the ward twice this week! It was super fun-- the American family is here with the Navy. They are just a solid, diligent family, who works hard to live and serve in the Gospel. We ate Thai food together! And the curry tasted just like the curry you can get at Mai Thai in Tooele!
Ahh-- and also, we met our American investigator this week. The recent convert couple loves America and wants to learn English, so they asked if they could come. They are so sweet and awesome, but very beginner level in English, and when they met him right off, one of them said to our investigator (who was wearing a fedora hat and a Hawaiian shirt with polo shorts) "Hello! I am ____. Nice to meet you. You look funny!" And then busted up laughing... Haha it was kind of a facepalm moment. But our investigator seemed to shake it off pretty well.
Gotta run, love you all!
Elder Beckett
