Doors X 1000

We set a goal this week as a district to knock on 1000 doors. It was my first time trying door knocking and it was actually not too bad. And we hit the goal in 5 days with a few days to spare which was great!

Door knocking, or 카카호호 as we call it, isn't the most effective, but it was a good experience. I'll give you the rundown. You knock on the door. A lot of people ignore the first knock for some reason haha. You knock again. They ask "who is it" from inside the door. You say "hello" (you don't wanna give away the identity before they open the door, or they won't open the door usually). Then they usually say through the door, "No, I asked WHO is it." You say "hello" again lol. And usually it's about 50-50 after that, some answer and some don't.

We definitely met quite a variety of people though, and a ton of insanely wasted people. Out of all the doors we knocked, we found 1 person who gave us his number and accepted a Book of Mormon!! I think he was high but that's okay. It's not about the decisions he's made thus far, but about the decisions he makes when he learns the word of wisdom. And the great part is we know where he lives, so if he doesn't answer his calls we can just go to his house! 

Other fun things from the door knocking was getting some free yogurt from a grandma and also someone walked out of their house right as we were about to knock. That second one was actually just a lot more awkward than fun but yeah. We leave them a card in case they don’t answer.

Oh also transfers are this week and luckily I'm staying in Sokcho. The other elders are leaving though sadly so it will just be me and Elder Morris out here with the closest other missionaries a few hours away. Also we're gonna be receiving all the responsibilities that the other elders had so it's about to get pretty crazy. Also after a full transfer of working on it we FINALLY STARTED ENGLISH CLASS

  

We have 2 students who attended last week and I'll be pretty sad if they don't come again... but we'll see what happens

I took a lot of pics this week so 훔쳐보셔도 돼요
