Byun Shin jeong got baptized on Saturday. She was excited. I was excited that she was excited. The next day, Sunday, when we got to church 20 minutes early, the other missionaries told us she had already arrived. This week we wanted to meet with her at a member's house to talk about the temple, but she said, sorry, I'm busy. She's attending the world-wide Korean Young Adult Conference that's being held this week.
Some other good things this week. We have really not been busy lately--not a lot of investigators, people to meet with (that's not the good thing!). One night, looking desperately for an appointment, I saw a name on a role from church that I didn't recongize and asked if we could come. It turns out the woman was baptized a couple years ago, and last year, just decided to stop going to church. She said we could come by, and as we were visiting, she said flat out she had no intention of going to church again. But she told us to come visit her at her work--she works at a daycare, where kids get care for free (this week she's going camping with them). And she said we'd probably be able to meet with her sons, too.
And we met a new person on Sunday--her son was recently baptized. We asked if we could teach her more about our church, and she said yes. The family is just the two of them--mom and son. I hope they will be able to start doing this together.
The past two days were rainy--aparently, this year is especially rainy. It was a nice respite from the heat, though. And last night, when the rain cleared out, the air was clear, that beautiful early-evening sun shined. People on the street started pulling out cell phones to take pictures of a full rainbow that had appeared.
Have a wonderful week!
