I got the box thank you mom! I do need more vitamins because my trainee can't really read english so he just thought they were candy and he ate half the bottle while I was in the shower! hahaha He had a very upset stomach for the rest of that day. haha But those aren't the pants I was talking about haha but thank you because they did have $5 in them that I bought bobba with :) The khaki light tan pants are the ones I can wear!
We got permission to skype but idk if I'm going to because I feel like
that is a little irreverent so I'm still deciding on what to do. Yeah I'm sure you would remember Nate we called him Ktuck or Kentucky and he
had a super bad southern accent you would always say he was one of your
favorites because he was super polite. But I'm super happy for him now
its just time to end this drought in the Korean branch! He's getting
baptized Feb1st.
Yeah I really like that family we did service for, the old lady Sister Lee and is probably one of my favorites in the ward. Shes so nice and
she always gives us free kimchi! :) I sat with her yesterday at
church and Sister Choo turned around and said "why" I said "why what"
she said "out of everyone here and those beautiful girls over there why
do you sit with Sister Lee" (Sister Choo loves to mess with me because I'm pretty much the only missionary that can take it and I'm the only
missionary who will mess with her back. But Sister Lee and Sister Choo are friends, so it's ok. Shes the person who
lets me skype at her house for skype lessons) And I said well because I
like Sister Lee and she is just as pretty as the others.(Shes super old like
older than grandma so its okay haha) and they both just laughed and AT
THE SAME TIME pinched my cheeks and said " Oh poopy puppy" which is just
a way of saying someone is cute haha
Running man is going good so far I've been pretty stressed about it
actually but its all coming together now. every running man episode has
a theme and the theme I came up with is "inception" and I'm tying that
into Lehi's dream. And theres a bunch of different activities but each
team will have a portable dvd player and a usb that plays a little video
that gives clues on how to prepare for the next event and that will be
there liahona and the person in the video is the Holy ghost and the last
game is capture the flag and the team who wins the previous activity
will get an extra flag called the flag of liberty and we have these
silver spray painted pvc pipes that are going to be the flag poles and
there flag has to endure to the end and hold on to the iron rod haha. I
tried to make it churchy but secretly haha.
P.s. the mission office just called me and I have
now been moved from being a full time regular misisonary to a Korean
speaking tech Elder haha. Yeah idk what that even means! But pretty much I have to go to the mission office like everyday now and I'm being
trained on the Ipads and how to use them and then I will go train part
of our mission on the Ipads. I dont know why I got choosen for training, I 'm tech retarted haha so we will see how this goes!
Yeah I got a letter from Bro. Jenkins and from the youth in
our ward. And pretty much I guess we have a bunch of new kids in our
ward? Thats pretty cool then. But I really need to write him back I've
just been super busy lately but I think I will just send something back
through FB.
We have a golden investigator!!!!! Yeah I'm pretty much
super freaking happy about it because it never happens in the Korean
culture over here but it just shows me that my prayers aren't going
unheard and when I do everything that I need to do and everything I can
do God pretty much has no other choice but to bless us with someone to
teach.
I finally was able to have a meeting this week with
president about English class and he likes the way I presented it to him
and what I would do with the money if I were to be funded and how I
would turn english class into a finding method. And so he has to now get
okay through salt lake but within the next couple weeks I should able to
start an english class and citizenship class and I'm super excited about
it. Because here in Irivine trackting is a struggle. Prophets,
apostles, my misison president and the scriptures always say to find the
poor in spirit. But covering Irvine and Newport everyone is super
filthy rich!!! So I've been praying a lot on what to do because when I
was in Cerriotos and Anaheim area I loved tracting because its not as
wealthy so people are way more willing to listen. Anyways I've been
praying like crazy on help and for simply just patience on not to give
up or what I should do. And that day I was at Target getting materials
for Running Man and this Korean lady about mid 30's in front of me was
paying for her stuff and she couldn't understand the cashier and her
kids were being roudy and she just started to cry. I asked her if she was
korean and ended up translating for her and she asked how come I could
speak fluent english and some korean so we talked for a bit and she said
she'd pay us to teach english and I told her I already have a small
group of people of around 6 that I teach english for free, and right
there BINGO haha. Its really awesome because I thought everyone is
super rich here the Koreans and chinesse people are probably the most
poor in spirit a lot of people have just moved here from korean and
don't speak much english if any and they're in a place where they can get by
with only speaking Korean but it is still very inconvient at times and
also a ton of teens and adults stress so hard about the test and
citizenship class so these people are able to see through us helping
them that the mormons arent crazy devil worshipers and that we truly
care about them. And when these people are learning a new language thats
super hard they get frustrated and will sometimes just break down and
tell us everything about their life so it then builds this bridge of
trust. Yeah so as you can see I'm super happy for this to get started
because this is what the viet elders do and last year they had an all
time high of 8 baptisms and their goal was 4 and they all came from
english class. I've set our district goal at 10 and I think we can reach
our goal.
Love you mom, thank you for everything. Tell Brad thank you so much
for his letters I appreciate them so much they always make laugh or
smile because he always adds in some news from back home or high school
sports updates. I just have not a lot of time to hand write back so I
feel bad but tell him I'm super appreciative!
Love Elder Meza
Please send me my khaki pants :) also if
you could with the pants send me my other church shoes my penny loafer
slip on's. one of my shoes got stolen at a member meal because we take
our shoes off outside the house. But seriously 1 shoe! like who does
that!? haha. That's not even because they needed a pair of shoes they're
just being punks when they take 1 shoe. hahaha
