When the Spirit calls ...

Hey everyone! This was a really interesting week that was filled with a lot of super cool stuff! We've been working with the ward lately to do a Missionary Musical Night for all the church members in the stake, so we spent a lot of time prepping for that and decorating this week! One of the missionaries in my area is an AMAZING artist, and he did a full wall mural for it. I'll attach a picture! Here's the crazy story about the prepping though.....
 
While we were decorating I had the impression that I should go to the bathroom, which was super weird cause I didn't actually have to go. But I went anyways. I got out of the bathroom and this kid was staring at the musical night flyer that was posted on the front door of the church. I went and started talking to him; he was super cool! I invited him to the musical night, and he said he would come, but then when I tried to get his number he pulled the "I don't have a phone" line, which 99.9% of the time means "I don't want to actually give it to you cause you're a weird foreigner" cause EVERYONE in Korea has a smart phone. The next day he ACTUALLY CAME! Then we invited him to church and he said he would think about it. Then... HE CAME AGAIN! He hit it off really well with one of the youth leaders and we're meeting him again on Saturday! All cause I actually followed a promping to go to the bathroom when I didn't have to! It's so nuts.
 
We also have an investigator getting baptized in two weeks! He is super cool and an amazing guy. He called us multiple times this week asking us questions about the Book of Mormon and how he can get closer to God. We met with him and he said that he'll get baptized! It is SO cool cause he's not a normal person that you meet off the street, he's a really successful real estate developer that happened to walk into the church while Elder McLeod was there. Right now we're working with him to get him prepared and ready for baptism! Keep him in your prayers!
 
This Musical Night that we had was a HUGE success and we had a ton of people at church the next day afterwards. All the missionaries that performed were amazing, the amount of talent the peple serving here have is crazy! I'm so happy that I have the chance to be here with such amazing people!

2. The Han River Looking towards Gangnam! That huge building is going to be one of the largest shopping/fashion centers in the world once it's done.
