I do.
And boy, weren't those always among the greatest days of the school year? Or at least, the most refreshing? Well, we're not in elementary school anymore, but we're on a mission, so it's not too different, right? So of course, a field trip was due to occur.
The day? Today. P-day.
The bus? Daejeon area tour buses - 2 of them.
The teachers? President and Sister Shin.
And the destination? A museum, an ancient king's tomb, and a 1500 year old fortress.
Last week, I literally announced it to my zone as such. "Next week," I beamed at our zone meeting, "We will be going on a field trip!!" And wow, was it great or what! I coordinated the venture with Elder Butterfield, one of the district leaders in the zone who had the connections with the bus people, and President Shin, of course. Before the day came, everybody was so excited to be going on a big activity. And luckily, the company doing to tour was giving it all to us for free in order to promote tourism and advertise through us. So, they were using us, but we were definitely using them - and I feel we got the better end of the stick.
Anyway, it was fantastic. And many of the missionaries brought their investigators with them as well, so it was a great opportunity to still do missionary work even while having fun. I wish I could send you all pictures of the trip, but I don't have a card reader right now.... so I guess it'll have to wait. But just so you a get a picture in your mind, imagine 30 smiling missionaries in front of a massive Asian castle and you'll get the idea.
So other than that, the week went great! I love my new comp and area. While it's still Daejeon, it still is very different. And being a zone leader thus far has been a great experience. Hopefully this next week will just be a continuation of the good time I've already had.
Until then!
