This week we farmed like crazy!
One day we did it for ten hours.
We dug out 2000 clovesof garlic and we had to categorize and tie them
together so they could be sold on the streets. It sounds like a lot of work but
it was soooo much fun! As we were finishing up, Elder Fullmer was cutting off
the tops of the garlic stalks with a sickle... and he cut himself.
:For behold
the field is white and already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his
sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but
bringeth salvation to his soul." I think he took that a little too
seriously.
He literally thrusted his sickle with his might... into his hand.
Before he was rushed to the hospital, the elders gave him a blessing. It was
awesome to see priesthood power in action even though they were on a time
crunch. He got a couple stitches and now he's A-OK!
So rice is really expensive in Korea. You'd think it would be
really cheap because it's Korea. It's what Koreans eat! But it's sooo
expensive. The other day, we got a big bag full of rice from a member and
Sister Kim wanted to see if she could carry it. She ended up making a hole in
the bag and rice started spilling out. Everyone in my district started
screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" one elder tried to save what was left of
the rice and kept saying "my babies!" Haha rice is sooo precious to
us; it's like gold!
We've started teaching a Korean class and I'm basically
hopeless. Do you think I can teach Korean to the foreigners here? I can't even
speak it myself! So I pretend like I'm a student and I learn from the
missionaries(: It's perfect! Except I then realize how much Korean I don't know
and it stresses me out.. But I've only been in Korea for two months. No need to
stress!
This week was so fun! We even got another investigator! I can't
wait to start teaching them(:
Have a good one!
