So first of all, yesterday I got to go to a baptism! It was a baptism in my old area of the little boy that I told you about before but his baptism originally was cancelled to who knew when. But he was able to get baptized yesterday, and his father was the one who baptized him! So my and my companions got to go to it :) And one of my companions, Sister Ellingson, actually was trained in that area so she was able to see all of those people again too! It was so fun for her. But, here's the funny part. The baptism started at 4, but we actually didn't get there until five, right as they were singing the closing song :[. The traffic was so terrible once we got into Busan that it took an hour for what should have been just fifteen minutes. Seriously such a bummer. But luckily its part of Korean tradition to always have meals after events, so we got to be there for the dinner :)
One bit of information that may be pretty important for you to know......... We lost one companion yesterday. Sister Johnson, the sister that came to Korea the same time with me, is no longer in our companionship! :( :( Another Sister got sick and has to go home, so Sister Johnson got pulled out and went to that area. So sad! Our house is so quiet without her. Seriously, threesome companionships are the best! Both me and Sister Ellingson don't know what we'll do without her.
Also, a miracle that I wanted to tell you about this week was that a couple days ago we were sitting in a cafe getting ready to start weekly planning (usually we do it at home, but we decided to do it there because we had somewhere else to go) and this guy from Australia starts talking to us. He asked us is we were really all sisters (haha) and we were able to explain about our church. He had heard about us before, and though he said he was agnostic, he wouldn't say something isn't true until he tries it. So we invited him to church and our English class. On Saturday morning, we sent him an email asking if we could give him the English Book of Mormon we had got him, and then he called us even before he got the email and said that he had been doing some research on the church (p.s. please come to the missionaries before you go to Google!) and asked some questions about the Word of Wisdom. We were also able to see him later that day and gave him the Book of Mormon and got his contact information so the missionaries in Australia can contact him when he goes back! He was such a fun guy, and I really hope that he continues to learn about us!
A lot of other super great stuff happened this week. There's just one other thing I want to tell you about though. It's my ward. The members are so amazing!!! One couple has THREE sons on missions right now, and just sent the youngest off the America for a couple months. So faithful. I love it here!!!!

interesting fact: In Korea they are super strict about recycling. You must recycle, and when you recycle you must separate everything into soft and hard plastic, paper, etc. Also, they have food trash. And you are so bad if you don't do food trash. haha it's kind of like compost that we do at home mom, but trucks come and pick it up. Anyway, we haven't had a food trash bucket at all, so we've just bee stuffing our food trash into the freezer till we can figure out what to do with it, Finally, I decided to ask a member, and when she heard we had been doing that,,, haha the look on her face was priceless! She immediately took us to get a food trash bucket :P Love it here!
"I will not be negligent." - 2 Peter 1:12
I just remember mom telling me not to be negligent all the time when I was young. But it was certainly good advice that I should have followed. Negligence doesn't get anything done, and leaves a lot of miracles unseen.
