Thanksgiving!

What a week! We had a mission conference this week and it was SO much fun. The food was amazing and words that were spoken were even better! It's so amazing to see how the Lord is hastening his work here in Korea. Being with all those missionaries is such a reminder that I'm around some of the biggest spiritual giants out there. 
It's currently Korean Thanksgiving right now, so there is NOBODY out on the streets right now. Everyone is inside celebrating, which means there are a LOT of drunk people around. We found out a couple of weeks ago that Korea beats Russia in consuming more alcohol than any other country. It doesn't really shock me! 
We had an amazing experience with one of our investigators this week. He's been struggling with giving up coffee for a couple of months now, and it's been a really struggle for him. So the other day we met with him and he told us that he hasn't had a cup of coffee for 6 days. He told us we didn't know what giving up our favorite food was like so I committed to no longer drinking chocolate milk. Which is no fun at all because I drink 6-8 cartons of it a day and I love it. But, it's been a super cool experience and it's letting me see what he's going through! 
My companion got called as district leader this week, and it's been stressing him out a ton. I've been trying to help him out as much as possible with it. Elder McLeod is seriously the best, I'm so blessed to be serving with him and having the chance to serve him too. 
Love,
Rob
