Week 20 (Week 11 In-Field)

It has been a crazy stressful week. We had packing, cleaning, traveling, visiting, and transfers all packed into one week. It was a pretty rough week, but now everything seems to be settling down. I love 인천 (Incheon) so far!

Here are a few pictures of my investigators in 개봉 (Gaebong). We were able to meet with almost all of them and say goodbye before we both left.

​Sister Rindlisbacher, Shany, and Sister Blom

The beginning of the week was the craziest. Since Sister Blom was going home we had to have everything packed and cleaned by Tuesday. I packed almost everything on Sunday except the things that I had to use throughout the week. Then Monday we sent our bags through the post office. That was really stressful because they kept saying that they couldn't do it. If they didn't send them we would have to carry them all week as we traveled to see people from Sister Blom's old areas. Luckily we had the Elders with us and Elder 이종혁 was able to figure everything out. We ended up having to tape two big boxes together and put our suitcases in them. 

Tuesday was spent visiting with all of our investigators and one member. It was back to back appointments all day. A huge miracle happened that afternoon. Sister Blom lost her wallet on the bus that we were riding, which had her foreigner card in it. Without it you are not allowed to leave the country and they usually take about two weeks to get. We were calling so many people trying to figure out what we needed to do so that she would be able to leave on Friday, but had no luck. We decided to go to our first appointment and then go to the mission home afterwards to get things figured out. As we were at our appointment with Tom and Leanne we told them about everything and they were able to call the bus and find her wallet. It is almost nearly impossible to find things once they are lost like that, but it was a tender mercy from the Lord. 

Wednesday we had zone training in the morning and then went around half the mission to visit people for Sister Blom. I'll have to tell you about everything next week because I am out of time. I love you all and hope that you have a great week. Here are a bunch of random pictures. Love you!
