Email from 2 Weeks Ago

Hello everyone!

A few notible events this week. We went to a fish market with an investigator--the woman who judged gymnastics in the Olympics for years. We went to a tank, and she picked out a fish, and an octipus (sp?). As the man fished them out and got a stick with a hook on it ready, a woman was tying on a big, thick rubber apron...he wacked the fish once on the head with the flat end of the stick, the gills splayed out, and the woman cut it up right there, and another employee chopped up the octipus. They layed everything out neatly, and we went upstairs and ate it at a restaurant--raw fish wrapped in lettuce with spicy sauce; the octipus still moving, its suckers sticking to our chopsticks. Sister Gubler asked how long it keeps moving. "About an hour," she said.

Yesterday, we met with an investigator, Byun Shin jeong who met some members at the English academy where she works. She doesn't like the job--she said it was kind of amazing that she worked there, met that person there, and met us. She stopped progressing for awhile, and now, all of a sudden, she's progressing again. When we meet with members, they all really encourage her to get baptized. Yesterday we got so close to setting a date. We had the calendar out. If you don't mind praying for someone, go ahead and pray for her.

Today was transfers--the last six weeks went by fast! Sister Gubler moved to another area, and now I'm senior with Sister Ee Yae Ji--Sister Lee is the English version. Senior. This will be an adventure.

I love you all, have a wonderful week!

--Carrie
