This past week for us was a pretty decent week for us here in Jeonju Korea, we didn't have too many appointments with investigators, but we were able to keep busy. On Monday we had family home evening at the church with our recent convert Brother Kang and a couple of the other ward members and our investigator came out too which was great to see. On Thursday we did some service for a member out in the countryside that we've been working with for a while now, he's less active so we try to help him out as much as possible. Anyways the main highlight of last week was that there was a national holiday called Chuseok, which is pretty much Korean Thanksgiving. It was from Saturday to Monday, the actual holiday being on Sunday. Because of Chuseok missionary work last week was pretty slow because a lot of people go to their hometowns during Chuseok so the streets were pretty much empty and all our investigators were with their family. On Saturday we went hiking with another less active member and his friend which was pretty fun, we got fed all 3 days of Chuseok which was also pretty awesome. Brother Kang brought his wife and daughter out to church which was way awesome, his wife is super busy with work so it was the first time that I had ever met her. She seemed to like the whole experience and she's so happy with the man that her husband has become since becoming a member of our church. He is still progressing well and all he wants is his family to feel the same happiness that he has experienced which is really special to see.
