Hey everybody,
So as you all probably know, my mom's father passed away this past week. So that's why I didn't write an email last week. But we're all doing ok, thanks for your prayers on our behalf.
Things have been really busy here for us. Our mission is having a celebration because this year marks the 50th year since missionaries came to Korea! So we've been getting stuff ready for the musical fireside that we're having next month and also for the mission-wide service activity: blood donation. Kind of goes well with Halloween, huh? :D That's this Wednesday, and then all the stakes in the Seoul area and maybe all of Korea will be doing a stake-level service activity too. The hope is to get a little publicity and kind of clear up a lot of misconceptions about the Church here. The fireside is going to be awesome! There's going to be some world-class musicians there in a string orchestra, and I saw them at a fireside a couple weeks ago, and it was seriously amazing. So I'm really excited. :D
Also this week we had President interviews which was really good. It's kind of just a time for President to talk with you one-on-one about how things are going, how much you want to kill your companion, etc. :D Also a time to get encouraged and uplifted from him, 'cause he's a great man that cares a lot about us all.
Also we picked up an investigator, a middle-aged lady, who is one of the 20 Grandmaster Chefs in Korea! To give you an idea of that, there are 300 Master Chefs who are really good, and then 20 who are ridiculously good. She's a professor at a college teaching Food Science and Cooking, and she's a director at some sort of kitchen somewhere. She wants to meet us for English but hopefully we can help her have interest in the church too. Missionary work is a little slow here because of all the office work we do, but that's kind of missionary work too.
I love you all and I hope you have a good week! Thanks for your support and all you do for me and my family!
Elder Matt Dean
