It will be a quick one this week.
We met again with the investigator from North Korea last night, Choi Hee sook. And we set a baptisimal date with her! I get worried when we talk about baptism. I worry people don't understand it, or that they aren't ready for it, or that they're not doing it for the right reasons. So I was worried when we were talking about it last night, and invited her to be baptized. But as we did, I had that same kind of feeling I did meeting with the group who got baptized and then left for Fiji. A good feeling. A feeling that surprized me. Choi Hee sook said she would work at changing things around at work so she could attend church, and she was excited when we talked about June 7th.
Wednesday was a good day. Kind of a strange one. We hadn't had investigators who were available during the day, and we spend time walking, riding the bus, and meeting with a member. A bit later we met with a woman other missionaries met and referred to us. We met on the street, and were going to walk to the church to do a lesson there, but she really struggled walking. So we just sat down on some steps near the sidewalk, and taught the first lesson like that. It wasn't the ideal situation--we kind of attracted attention. I don't think it was the most comfortable setting for her (I'm pretty much used to looking weird and standing out by now, so it wasn't strange at all for me). It ended up that two other people came up to us and requested Books of Mormon from us.
So things keep going.
I love you all, and hope you have a great week.
