Hey hey!<br /><br />So this week was actually very busy. lots of lessons and interviews<br />with president. (which by the way are the best. President Christensen<br />is so amazing and I learn so much from him every time!)<br /><br />So this week we had a lesson with Kaya again. She is the one who lived<br />in Utah and did the ESL program at the U. Well yesterday our lesson<br />was on how the gospel blesses families and how the righteous example<br />of a mother can affect her children so much. Her sister was there too<br />and she was really fascinated by us doing missionary work. She asked<br />us lots of questions and we taught them together. So here is the<br />shocking thing: Kaya said "I didn't tell you this last week, but I<br />actually already got baptized." And so I thought she meant into<br />another church so I was going to talk about the Priesthood Authority<br />and all that but then she told us that she got baptized in our church<br />when she was in Utah. But at the time she could hardly understand<br />English and her LDS friend just kind of helped her and she got<br />baptized not really fully understanding everything. She said the<br />reason she contacted us is because she doesn't know the gospel and<br />wants to learn it now. WOW. I wasn't expecting that. So now I guess<br />she isn't our investigator anymore.... Less Active- but kind of like<br />an investigator. I hope we can find her records and stuff. I don't<br />even know if she even got confirmed though... We will be looking into<br />that. Crazy!<br /><br />sister lee (our investigator) is kind of hard to know how to help. We<br />found out that she has some mental problems and It's extremely hard to<br />teach her. That's why she acts so immature and can't focus on what we<br />are saying... and says odd things in the middle of the lesson. She is<br />doing some medical treatment right now for that. We tried talking<br />about the Plan of Salvation but couldn't even get through anything<br />much. I prayed about her and I feel like she just needs love. So we<br />are going to show her our love as much as possible. And also talk<br />about how much HF loves her and Jesus Christ... etc. We found out some<br />other things and are going to hold off on baptism for a little while.<br />keep praying for her please :)<br /><br />We are working with a LA who got baptized forever ago but now attends<br />another church. I don't know how she got baptized because she<br />literally knows nothing about our church... but we are trying to<br />re-teach her. we met with her this week and it was ok. she wants her<br />daughter to be baptized- but the daughter doesn't want to. We are<br />also working with a few other RC's who are LA now. :(<br /><br />So a little miracle that I saw this week was when we were walking<br />somewhere from an appointment and i saw this lady and i felt like i<br />should talk to her, but sadly right then the light changed so we went<br />(my bad) and a little after, i realized that one of my gloves that was<br />in my pocket had fallen out. I knew it couldn't be too far away<br />because i knew they were in there a little before... so we turned<br />around and walked back a ways, but couldn't find it. then we walked<br />the same path back again because I said a prayer and felt like it was<br />that way. It wasn't THAT big of a deal, but they were expensive gloves<br />and i didn't want to have to buy new ones. So anyways, this time after<br />walking the same path a second time, i talked to the lady for a little<br />bit and she was nice and then we went back one more time. This time we<br />saw my glove sitting in plain sight on top of something on the<br />sidewalk. i know it wasn't there the first and second times because<br />sister lynn and i were scanning our eyes everywhere for it on the side<br />walk and on top of things. So we got it, and right after started<br />talking to this lady. We talked about the church and the BOM for a<br />long time. I testified of the Book of Mormon and offered her a copy.<br />She rejected it but took my card, then we said goodbye and told her to<br />have a great day. She walked a little ways longer and then stopped and<br />turned around and asked if she could have the Book. Of course we gave<br />it to her and she told us she would read it! It was a little miracle<br />and we wouldn't have met her if I hadn't lost my glove. :)<br /><br />r: LOVE that you saw some of my friends at your meet! GOOD JOB!!! yay<br />first college meet over! remember how nervous i was for mine-<br />blessings and tears.. eek. hahah can't wait til we race together<br />again. weeee and i love that you busted home after you got back.<br />classic anderson special<br />d: nice job for your award in the basketball banquet. geez i miss<br />sports so bad. basically the only thing i miss anymore besides you<br />guys. seriously. how's snowboarding? love you phe! good luck with the<br />math.<br />e: yes ell i got your emails!! your week sounds fun! that's cool that<br />you got to hear from some RMs about serving!! the only thing a mission<br />is is serving!! all the time! so that's cool. way to go on the BOM<br />reading every night. you can totally do it!<br />j: way to go in your basketball game!! that's so awesome. is<br />basketball fun? you and ell are super cool!!!! and the spa night with<br />your friends sounds so fun!<br />a: hey beaut!!! wow you are going to have so much fun at crystal hot<br />springs. remember the 40 or 50 year old lady that kept doing hand<br />stands in the pool a few years ago? so classic. hahaha i hope you see<br />her again. are you excited for soccer?! yay! way to go for cleaning<br />the house for mom. you rock!<br />i: i am doing good in korea. yes you can sleep in my room. that will<br />be fun. i remember when you slept in my room before my mission. that<br />was so fun. thank you for sending me a snap chat. i will see it after<br />i am home. i love you!<br /><br />I learned a lot in studies this week but I will have to tell you next<br />week. because i have no time.

HEY.<br /><br />This week was so good! (I just realized I say that for every week.<br />haha sorry) But anyways, it really was great. We met some new people<br />and have some new investigators so we are excited about that. Oh by<br />the way last week was transfers. nothing changed though for me since<br />i'm training sis lynn. Transfer #9 out of 11. weird.<br /><br />random classic highlights from the week:<br />- each saturday we do a service activity and pick up trash along the<br />streets by our church. while we were doing it, we saw a huge dead rat<br />in the street and sister lynn picked it up by the tail and threw it by<br />me and sis yang. hahaha we were freaking out. dying of lauhter. so<br />funny and so gross.<br />food we ate this week: teeeny tiny fishes in a bowl. like a half an<br />inch big and you just eat a whole scoop of them. they have their eyes<br />and bodies and all. so gross. but we had to eat it.<br />these sea shell things (like the white kind at lake powell) filled<br />with muscel things inside - but not muscells. so bizarre. but i ate<br />it. haha<br />chicken soup with dates in it. not good. :/<br /><br />정주윤 (jeong joo yoon) got confirmed yesterday which was really good.<br />She is really happy and is doing great. She told me she has been<br />reading the Book of Mormon every day. A chapter each day. It's a<br />little confusing and hard for her to understand but it helps when we<br />follow up and review what she read with her and explain things.<br />Imagine me trying to explain Laman and Lemuel tying up Nephi on the<br />Ship in Korean. not really sure but somehow I was able to explain.<br />hahah. Sometimes we read together and learn things together. She is<br />great. She finds out this week if she is accepted into the ESL program<br />at BYU!!! I'm praying hard core. i want her to get in so bad. Either<br />way Heavenly Father will do what is best for her.<br /><br />We met with 이유진 who is our new investigator. She is the Elder's<br />investigator's girlfriend. (Bro. Shin). We are doing the family<br />English program with her and our first lesson went well. She has no<br />concept of God so we talked mostly about our Heavenly Father and how<br />we can strengthen our relationship with Him through prayer. I think<br />the lesson went ok. She is a little hard to teach because she acts<br />kind of immature, but we're just trying to help her and love her the<br />best we can. We are meeting again with her again tomorrow. In our<br />lesson she's like um um what do you think is the meaning of love? like<br />falling in love? sister lynn and i were like ummmm. and i was like i<br />haven't thought about that for a year because i'm just doing<br />missionary work. haha weird.<br /><br />Our other new investigator is 인영, or Kaya. She is so cute. She is in<br />her 30's and has 2 cute girls ages 2 and 4. She is actually a huge<br />miracle because she has tons of interest and so much potential. She<br />actually lived in Utah a few years ago. After she and her husband were<br />married, they went to the University of Utah and lived there and did<br />the English Secondary language program. They lived in the married<br />housing and made some LDS friends and really liked it. They even went<br />to the married student ward a few times with their LDS friends. So she<br />actually knows quite a bit about our church and is looking for<br />guidance in raising her cute girls. Her husband works for Samsung and<br />she said she basically never sees him. She feels like she is raising<br />them alone and she wants religion that can help her know how to raise<br />them and teach them what is right. She's basically crying for the<br />gospel. I automatically thought of PMG where it says "people are<br />looking for the gospel... they just don't know where to find it." (or<br />something along the lines of that). So yeah. We are doing the Family<br />English Program, but it seems that she has a lot more gospel interest<br />than English interest. She wants her whole family to come to church.<br />If she can just get her husband to come. She actually wants to move<br />back to Utah someday becasue she was so impressed with the people and<br />their kindness there and feels like it would be a safe place to raise<br />her children. We talked to her a lot about Eternal families and the<br />blessings of the gospel in our lives. I'm sooo excited to teach her.<br />She is awesome! LOVE HER.<br /><br />This week I studied a few big topics, but one was in Jacob 5- the<br />allegory of the olive tree- and I focused on the "laboring in the<br />vineyard" part.<br />As I studied the allegory of the olive tree I found some important<br />things: If we labor dilligently with all our might, we will be blessed<br />and have joy in our lives- and the joy that comes from serving.<br />Another thing I kept recognizing was that the Lord always says that He<br />is laboring with us. Even though sometimes we feel like we are alone-<br />we are never alone. He is always with us- working with us and we just<br />have to rely on Him.<br />I'm so thankful that I get to "labor in His vineyard" with Him. I know<br />that the chance to be in Korea serving the Lord as a missionary is a<br />major opportunity and a gift to me and I am just so thankful.<br /><br />r: good luck at your track meet in boise!!! i went to that meet 2<br />years ago. watch for my BYU peeps!!! good luck!!! you will have a<br />blast!! love you<br />d: hope you're doing good. how's jr high? basketball? what are you up<br />to? snowboarding? lvoe you!<br />e: good job in basketball!!! i love the pics!!! you are so awesome!!<br />:) lvoe you!<br />j: i'm glad you found the ipod! how were baptisms at the temple? i<br />miss the bountiful temple!<br />a: visitng rach sounds so fun!!! and scrapbooking with issy sounds so<br />fun! love you!<br />i: dad told me you went and did a work out at the church. you are a<br />baller. you are so cool. i love you. i think a cougar would beat a ute<br />AND an aggie if they fought. what do you think? love you!<br /><br /><br />BYE i love you!!!!! xoxoxox<br /><br />sis tar anderson<br /></div>

This week was so good! I had the best Christmas! Christmas Conference was amazing. I felt the Spirit so strong and learned a lot. We had a ward Christmas party which turned out great, and then being able to go out and share my testimony of Christ all day long on Christmas day made it the best.</div>

Christmas eve was our ward Christmas party. 정주윤 came and brought her mom!!! I was so excited!!! Also the same lady 신해재 (who got baptized forever ago but goes to another church) came again with her daughter. The members were so welcoming and did a great job of fellow shipping. Especially to Sis Jeong and her mom. </div>

We had a meal with 정주윤 and her family this week and it was really good. We taught her yesterday after church and reviewed the baptismal questions with her. She is all set for her interview this wednesday. Her baptism is on sunday after church. Elder Lee her cousin is going to baptize her. Her mom, dad and aunt are coming. She is really excited. I'm really excited for her. I hope it is a special day for her. yayyy!!!</div>

Anna is doing ok. We invited her to come to the baptism and she said she will think about it. She loves meeting with us and she can feel something different. I really want her to come to church so she can feel the same feeling- even stronger. She said she will sometime. Hopefully this week. I really really want her to come. She is barely progressing. She keeps commitments but kind of half heatedly. She seems to be more interested now that we are talking about the Plan of Salvation. We are trying so hard to find her needs.</div>

I LOVE the elderly people!!! i miss my CNA just because i could see so many old people that i love. hahah it was so fun to be with them and they loved it. so fun!</div>

Christmas conf was amazing. I told you on the phone. SIs christensen talked about stars and light and us sharing our light to the world. Pres talked about the spirit and "tuning in" we watched Ephraims rescue, stuffed stockings for orphans and had such a good time!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm so thankful to be here in Korea serving the Lord. Christmas was the best. I did my best and gave it everything I could. We wrapped up 33 Book of Mormons and set up a table showing He is the Gift and talked to people all night. It was the best Christmas ever. I think it was also probably the happiest Christmas I have ever had. I loved sharing my testimony of Christ. I LOVE YOU. it was so good talking to you!!!!!!! </div>

정주윤 is doing really well. We met with her on wednesday and then had a 식사 with her at a member's house which was really good. Lately we have been focusing a lot on the commitments we have given her and are really trying to help her understand the importance of reading the Book of Mormon and what she can get from it. We talked some more about her relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. A few weeks ago we gave her a commitment to share her testimony with her mother who has been LA for over 20 years. Each week we followed up but she didn't. But finally this week she did! She asked her mom how she felt when she came to church as opposed to another church she went to. Her mom said when she came to our church she felt the spirit and it felt like Heaven. Sis Jeong was so excited because that is the same feeling that she has. She always tells us about the good feeling that she has when she is with us or at church... etc. Of course we talked about that as being the spirit testifying to her that this is good and our message is true. She really was so excited. Also, this past week I have been praying specifically for her "to have her prayers become more comfortable" because she told us that when she prays it feels awkward. I didn't tell her that i had been praying for that, but in our lesson, she said "oh! by the way my prayers are becoming more comfortable!" It is an answer to my prayer. I am so happy! Also her mom didn't want to see missionaries because she said it was too much pressure but his week sis Jeong told us that her mom wants to meet us! So hopefully this week we will meet her mom :)</div>

Anna is doing good. She loves our visits and tells us how much she loves meeting with us. She said when she meets with us she feels so peaceful and happy and good. She said she feels like we share God's love with her. We talked more about the Restoration and Joseph Smith. We also tried to give her a baptismal date but she said she wants to take it slowly and maybe decide a date later. The hard thing with Anna, is that she keeps some of the commitments but not all of them. I'm not sure if she is fully grasping onto our message and stuff. I think right now she just feels really good when she meets with us and is trying to wrap her brain around the Restoration.</div>

I am trying to work with a family that comes to our English class. It is the family that came to the game night we had a few weeks ago. Our ward mission leader wants to have a dinner with us and them so we are doing that on sunday. I'm excited. They are slowly becoming more interested. I really hope it goes well!</div>

This week Sister Lynn and I went and proselyted with the DVD player and showed the "he is the gift" DVD to anyone who would watch it. We got some people to watch it and it was good. We are focusing on testifying of Christ- it seems like lately i have been meeting a lot of people who don't believe in God or Jesus Christ. Christmas is a great time to testify of Christ and what He has done for us. I love showing the DVD to people even though people are actually really mean sometimes.</div>

Sadly, Korea doesn't really have the christmas magical feel. :( sometimes you see a christmas tree, and lights but not too much. I miss the magical christmas feeling so much! Where there is that excitement in the air. :( it's not here. it's those moments i feel homesick. not really for hom, just that magical christmas feeling! half the people don't even celebrate it because theyre buddhist and the other people barely celebrate it. so it is kind of sad. but at least next week we will have a zone conference and i can call home. we probably will just work on christmas since it's pretty much a normal day. </div>

This week when i was studying for Sis Jeong I looked up a lot of scriptures that talk about Christ and how He can help us. Alma 36:3- SUPPORT in trials and afflictions, verse 27- DELIEVERS us from our "prisions" v. 19-21- JOY that comes from repentance 1 Peter 5:7- He UNDERSTANDS our suffering becaus He has experienced it. With this perfect understanding he knows how to HELP us. You can cast all care upon Him because he CARETH for you. Mosiah 24:15 He will bless us with COMFORT, and STRENGTH to bear up our burdens with ease. Matthew 11:28- come unto me... and I will give you REST. John 16:33 PEACE. 2 Nephi 25:26-28- REMISSION OF SINS. Helaman 5:12 Foundation- devil can have no power. These are just a few but I thought it was cool that we can see the direct blessings and help we receive if we come unto Christ.</div>

so this week was good! we saw lots of cool things. sister lynn and i are having so much fun and working so hard!<br />
Sis Lynn rocks at giving out Books of Mormon and she is pushing me to be better about giving out more. We gave<br />
out a lot this week.</div>

wednesday was zone training. Our focus for the month is using time wisely. super good training and a good<br />
focus- especially right now because it seems like time is picking up a lot. We are focusing on setting better<br />
goals and acheiving them. also helping our investigator set goals and achieve them. I want to be better at setting<br />
personal goals. so it was good. dad- do you have any advice on goals? sometimes i'm afraid of setting goals<br />
because i'm afraid of not being able to achieve them. (not good) but i feel like that sometimes. </div>

on thursday (dec 4) :) we met with jaynie who is sister lynn's friend. She lived with sister lynn for 5 years as an<br />
exchange student or something like that. She is korean and is from Gangnam. (like as in the song gangnam style)<br />
and they are seriously loaded. haha she brought us lunch and gave us tons of food and it was really fun. We shared<br />
a message and taught a little bit of a lesson, but jaynie's mom isn't really interested. They are catholic and mostly<br />
just wanted to see sis lynn. But, they really like our church and jaynie loves our church and went to mutual and<br />
church every week in America and has read the BOM two times. So hopefully she will have interest in the future.<br />
Right now she just wants to meet for fun. So we are meeting them on a p-day again in a few weeks.</div>

friday we did a lot of street contacting and met some really nice people. We were able to set a few return<br />
appointments and are planning on meeting some tomorrow. One lady we met was nice and talked to us first.<br />
She told us to come by her place which was close to the church. She had seen lots of missionaries because she<br />
was right by our church. So she gave us her card and it said she was a minister. Anyways, the next day we went<br />
and met her and she has this church thing in the basement of a building and we went down and found all these<br />
people practicing a dance thing in this chapel/ dance room. seriously so weird. haha but they were all really nice.<br />
She invited us in and we sat down because she told us to wait. they said this weird prayer thing really fast and then<br />
practiced more. We waited for a while (we set the appointment for that time- not sure why she set it for that time)<br />
but we found out that the people (6 or 7 people) were all ministers or missionaries. So we talked to them and told<br />
them about our church and gave them some Books of Mormon and testified about it. It was kind of scary standing<br />
in front of a whole bunch of ministers testifying of the book of mormon but we were confident and bore our<br />
testimony. Seriously one of the most bizarre experiences. I wish i could describe the setting better. so bizarre but<br />
kind of cool. haha</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
later that day we were out street contacting more. it was freezing and we were about to head home. it was about<br />
8:50 and we were about 10 min away from home. as we were walking i saw a lady up ahead of me and felt like i<br />
should talk to her. I had the thought that it's always the last person, and it's always inconvenient times for yourself<br />
when you find people. so i ran ahead and started tallking to her. she asked questoins about the meaning of our<br />
church name and we talked about some other stuff. We gave her a Book of Mormon and testified. She said she<br />
would meet again with us. So that was cool. We are meeting her tomorrow. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
sat- we met with Anna- who is one of our investigators. We are doing the family english program with her and she<br />
is super nice. She is catholic and our first meeing with her we talked about the restoration. on saturday we showed<br />
her the restoration DVD and she loved it. She was so touched and felt the spirit. She really opened up and shared<br />
some personal experiences that she had when she prayed for help once in a hard time. It was really cool. She isn't<br />
keeping the commitments we give her, but we invited her to church and she said she might come. We also gave<br />
her the testimony of Joseph Smith pamphlet so hopefully she will read that.</div>

sun we met with 정주윤 (sis jeong) and talked about her questions she has. She is really quiet and never has<br />
questions. So we are using the questions of the soul thing in PMG to help find some of her need and answer<br />
questions. So sister jeons's cousin is e. lee who is serving in our zone. E. Lee's younger brother unexpectedly<br />
died two months ago. So sad. I asked sis jeong how e. lee's family is doing (they are members) she said "because<br />
of church they are doing good" So later on in the lesson one of the questions she picked was "how can a belief in<br />
Jesus Christ help me" or something like that. We read the scriptures it said in PMG (amla 36?) can't remember....<br />
but anyways, it talks about how believing in Christ will help us in trials and hard times and stuff. We talked more<br />
about E. Lee's family and how it's helped them during this hard time. They are a really good example to her. We<br />
also watched the video "he is the gift" and "because of Him" It turned out really good. She is doing good. She tries<br />
to read the BOM even though it's hard for her to understand sometimes. She is so sweet. I love her!!</div>

Glad thanksgiving was fun and horseback riding with the whole fam. so fun! <br class="yiv4114534904" />This last week was kind of rough. <span class="yiv4114534904"> </span>I got so stressed out about training and then I got really sick on thanksgiving, so the week was hard, but it’s ok. Wednesday we went to transfers and i said goodbye to all of the missionaries that went home. (tons!) :( like sister j and sister f and sister a! :( i was so sad saying bye to sis j. i love her! she will be at byu in january... and i'll see her when i'm home :)</span></div>

<span class="yiv4114534904" id="yiv4114534904yui_3_16_0_1_1417878310021_34610">After that me and the other 2 sisters who were training went up to trainer's training. (You asked about the piano. I played at training and I play in church a lot) In training we have all of the new missionaries and then all the trainers and we do some separate training and then training together. It was SO good. Seriously I could listen to President Christensen talk all day long. He is so inspired and the spirit was there so strong and it was just so so good. President talked about him and HF recognizing us as someone who is obedient and dilligent but he also knows our weaknesses and we can always become even better. He said we know who you are and we respect you and we expect you to be better. (he said it in a nice way- meaning always improving and trying to be better. sounds kind of harsh but it wasn't that way) anyway, just so good and motivating and so inspiring. I seriously love and respect President and Sister Christensen so much! Anyway, he announced the trainers and who they would be training. I'm training sister l! exactly one year later. so crazy! She is feeling a little overwhelmed and discouraged, after having been in Korea such a short time last Feb and then going home to recover from her injury for so long. It’s hard for her, but I'm trying to help her and encourage her as much as i can.</span></div>

I was really worried about meeting with investigators and members and being able to understand them but this week I have been able to understand more than I ever have before. Seriously a miracle. This week we were walking down the street and i saw this little old lady walking and I felt like we should talk to her. (we were walking towards each other) and i stopped and talked to her and at first i couldn't understand her (the old ladies are hard to understand sometimes) but i wasn't sure what she said but i felt prompted to talk about the plan of salvation and that we will live with our families again after we die. and then she told me that she was out walking around the streets because she was sad because her husband just died. she kept holding my hand and thanking me and she was a little teary and we talked for a little while and she didn't want me to go. i asked her if we could meet again later and she said yes but she didn't want to give me her number or address. she was so sweet. I gave her a BOM and told her that it teaches about HF's plan and she was so thankful. she was so sweet. it was a miracle! </span><span id="yiv4114534904yui_3_16_0_1_1417878310021_53515" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">I feel like we saw lots of little miracles and things like that last week. </span></div>

I've been through so much and it's changed me so much. I am so so thankful. I know that It is entirely because of Christ and His Atonement that has allowed me to serve. I rely on the Atonement daily and because of the enabling power of the Atonement, I can do things I could never do on my own. I am so thankful for Christ and His Atonement and the chance to serve the people here and tell them about it.</span></div>

<span class="yiv1321373512" id="yiv1321373512yui_3_16_0_1_1417061182665_2763">Hi. This week was really good! A lot of good things happened. </span></div>

<span class="yiv1321373512" id="yiv1321373512yui_3_16_0_1_1417061182665_2773">First. We met with </span><span class="yiv1321373512" style="font-family: AppleMyungjo;">정주윤</span><span class="yiv1321373512" id="yiv1321373512yui_3_16_0_1_1417061182665_2759"> on wednesday and we talked about testimonies. We talked about knowing through the Holy Ghost that this message is true. We also talked about how testimonies usually come little by little as we continually live the gospel and pray to know the truth. Sister L and I both shared our testimonies with her and then we asked her to share hers. She was so sweet. She said when she was in high school she tried to find a religion but nothing was right to her. She also said she feels good when she meets with us and something makes her want to keep meeting with us and something makes her get up and come to church every week even though it's early and she is tired. She is seriously so sweet. Her mom hasn't come to church for over 20 years and her dad is a member. yet every sunday morning she gets herself out of bed and comes to church by herself. she is so sweet and i love her so much. Her testimony is small right now but she is on the right path and I know that it will continue to grow into a strong testimony.</span></div>

<span class="yiv1321373512" id="yiv1321373512yui_3_16_0_1_1417061182665_2793">On the subject of testimonies, last night for our "house family home evening" the lesson was on testimonies and we talked about President Uchtdorf's talk from this past conference. All 4 of us sisters shared our testimonies with each other and the spirit was so strong. Just us in our own house sharing our testimonies with each other. It was a really special experience. Sister Yang shared her testimony and it was so powerful. She has been a member for less than 2 years, yet she has so much faith. It was really neat and a good experience to strengthen our testimonies from sharing ours and hearing each other's testimonies.</span></div>

<span class="yiv1321373512" id="yiv1321373512yui_3_16_0_1_1417061182665_2796">We met with SIster L's friend this week. She is really nice. She is Catholic but when we met with her she asked questions about the Book of Mormon. She wondered if it was in a book store so she could get it, but of course we gave it to her. We are actually meeting with her tonight and we will be talking to her about the restoration- dispensations and apostasy and the need for a restoration so she can understand our church a little bit more. </span></div>

<span class="yiv1321373512" id="yiv1321373512yui_3_16_0_1_1417061182665_2754">This week we had a church tour and a game night. Lots of members came and it turned out really good. The cute family that comes to our english class (the one that wants to do the family english program) was really touched again by the message during english class and they are beginning to be interested in the gospel more. They came for the very end of the church tour (sadly they missed the first part) but they were there for the part that we talked about RS and Sacrament Meeting. It was good for them to be in the chapel and to see the bishop and other members. They came to game night and had a ton of fun. Their daughter is sooo cute and loved playing with the other primary kids. The parents played the game with all of us and the other members and the members were SO nice and did a great job of fellowshipping. It was so good! At the end, the mom told me that she is interested and has felt a deep impression of our church and the message. Good things are happening! They want to start doing the family english program as soon as they finish moving into their house. :)</span></div>

<span class="yiv1321373512" id="yiv1321373512yui_3_16_0_1_1417061182665_2757">Sometimes it's hard to see how i'm improving and progressing with my Korean. This week someone said something to me (a native) and it just got to me and I felt really discouraged. That night I was teary and I prayed to HF and I told him i'm so sad and i'm trying so hard to speak korean but that it's so hard and i feel like such a bad missionary because i'm not perfect but sometimes i feel like the more i try to be better- the more imperfect i feel. Anyways, as i was praying, I felt his love so much. I knew he was listening and it felt like he was there with me listening to me. I asked him to help me feel better and find answers to help me during study the next morning. So the next morning during study i read the Book of Mormon and then i randomly pulled out a talk that you sent me (mom) when i was in the MTC called Look Up by Elder Carl B. Cook. He said "Look up to see how Heavenly Father sees us. He doesn't look on the outward appearance but on the heart. And he knows, better than anyone else what each one of us needs."</span></div>
<div class="yiv1321373512" id="yiv1321373512yui_3_16_0_1_1417061182665_2892" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="yiv1321373512" id="yiv1321373512yui_3_16_0_1_1417061182665_2891">That talk was such an answer to my prayer. I didn't even think about the talk. Just pulled out a little folder i had with some papers in it and pulled out the talk without thinking. I know that HF knows my heart and knows that i'm trying my best and it doesn't matter what other people think. He knows what i can do and he knows that i am trying. It was such a special little answer to my prayer. Anyways, that night i got transfer calls and found out i was training and i was kind of shocked! (After my confidence had been shot down) But i'm trying to remember that HF knows better than I know or anyone else knows what is best. If he knows I can do it and President Christensen knows, then I can!</span></div>

one year ago today was my farewell. so weird!!!!<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416787031831_76425">
anyways, this week was a little bit better. I think sometimes i get things worked up in my mind and everything stresses me out and it makes it hard for me to enjoy life.<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416787031831_76496">
Monday was fun! we hiked a part of Bukhansan to this way high peak and it was super fun! It was hard though! just like straight up and you just climb up rocks so it feels like your'e hiking stairs. so fun and exhausting! But the leaves were so beautiful and the top was so pretty. We flew paper airplanes off the top and it was so fun. haha at the top we met this lady who was from Singapore and she told us that her neice and nephew are serving missions right now. one in taiwan and the other in the US. kind of cool! Anyways, p-day was really fun.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416787031831_76458">
tuesday we went and visited a former inverstiagtor whose record we found in the books. aparently the missionaries haven't visited her in like 5 years or something so we stopped by. She answered the door and was wearing a BYU alumni shirt which was interesting. She invited us in and immediately started cutting fruit for us to eat. We found out that her daughter and son had been foreign exchange students in Utah and her daughter graduated from BYU and is now working and living in utah. We didn't know this at the time, but her daughter is actually a member, but when i asked her if her son or daughter go to church she said no and so i don't know if that means she is less active or what. But anyways, we talked to her for a while and she was so so nice. She told us that usually when people come to her house she doesnt answer the door especially because the Jehovahs witnesses always come but for some reason she decided to open up and let us in before she even knew it was us. so that was kind of a mircacle. She loves that our church is centered on the family and she loves to spend time with her family. She spends time with her fam on sunday so she can't come to chruch, but she told us that she loves our church and that if she ever decides to go to church she will come to our church. so that was cool. she told us to come and visit her whenever we have time.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416787031831_76692">
I also went on exchanges with sister harper on tuesday. She was super nice. She was acaually supposed to train sister lynn but then sis. lynn went home after 3 weeks. Anyways, she is going home next week and it was good to talk to her about her mission and the things she has learned. We talked about feeling successful even when you feel like you're not doing that much good. She has had 1 baptism in her mission so we talked about how we can be happy even when we don't have lots of big results that other missions or other missionaries have. She helped me a lot. It was fun.</div>
<div>
Wednesday we had district meeting which was good. Our focus for the month is becoming converted through the holy ghost so we are focusing a lot on having the holy ghost and following the promptings of the holy ghost. i love learning about the holy ghost and being more in tune and all that stuff. We taught 정주윤 (jeong joo yoon) and she is doing pretty good. We taught her about tithing and fast offerings. she is super sweet and always keeps commitments. We were supposed to meet with her yesterday after church but she had to go home right after church because they had people at her house. We are teaching her on wednesday and we are going to talk about testimonies. She said she will share her testimony with us. :)</div>
<div>
We visited another former investigator on wednesday as well and she was super nice. asked us to come to her choir concert the next day. (she's like 60 something) anyways she asked us to come becasue her kids and grandkids couldn't come. So president said we could go and it was a whole bunch of older ladies in prom ball gowns singing with like 6 grandpas in tuxes. hahaha so classic. i took videos of them. it was fun. haha she appreciated us coming. we are going to hopefully meet again with her this week.</div>
<div>
I saw a lot of small miracles in street contacting this week. A random person asked us about our english program and stuff and we were able to talk to some other nice people. We got "fanged" on 2 appointments this week so that was kind of a bummer, but also met some people that could become new investigators. In English class we shared the spiritual message after. It was on the Atonement and we focused on 3 things. How it allows us to overcome death, sin, and to be able to endure hard things. We showed a little video mormon message thing and the Spirit was really strong there. After, the family that attends our class came up and asked if they can do the family english program with us. So I was really excited about that. They are going to contact us about that.</div>
<div>
Saturday we went to the hospital and visited an older lady who is in our ward. She is having surgery because she has cancer. :( She was so sweet and thankful that we visited her. In typical korean style she started cutting up fruit for us as she's laying in her bed. (koreans always serve you food when you visit them) so sweet. we shared some scriptures with her and she appreciated it. It was fun :)</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416787031831_76709">
This week i studied a lot about having a "contrite spirit" I looked up a lot of scriptures about a broken heart and a "contrite spirit" I have learned a lot about the necessity of having a broken heard and contrite spirit in order to repent and to have the spirit with us. I also learned that when we have a contrite spirit we are humble and willing to accept Heavenly Father's will and do anything that he asks of us. I love praying to Heavenly Father and asking him for help and finding ways that I can improve through the scriptures. I always get answers to questions when I ask him first and then read the scriptures. I love the Book of Mormon. Also I just finished Helaman today and loved reading about Samuel the Lamanite preachign about Christ's birth. I'm excited to get to 3 Nephi 11! my favorite. Anyways, hopefully you are still doing the Book of Mormon challenge before the end of the year. :)</div>

(jeong joo yoon) We taught her the Word of Wisdom on wednesday and she said that sometimes she drinks coffee and alcohol on occasion with her friends. She said that she doesn't drink it very often and she was fine about giving it up. We moved her baptism date back a little bit in order for her to have time to show that she can keep the word of wisdom. We talked to her more about repentance so she is working on that. When we met with her on sunday she said that her mom wants to come to her baptismal service but she can't come until January. So she wants to be baptized in January. We told her that's fine, especially because her mom has been LA for her whole life and it is good that she wants to come. She might be helping her mom back. Also, I don't really know what to do now that it's delayed for 2 months. Her new baptismal date is Jan 3. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I think we are going to finish the Family English program with sister Oh this week. We meet her every week with the Bishop's wife and she is doing pretty good. Last week we taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ and really emphasized baptism and the need for the proper Priesthood Authority. She really looked like things were sinking in a little more. She is Catholic and goes to her church each week so she never comes to ours. She does read the Book of Mormon each week which is good. This week we are going to talk to her about just meeting and teaching the gospel. If she is interested in that then we will teach her. if not, we will be finished with the family English program.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Yesterday we were supposed to meet with the chinese girl that the Elders referred to us, Sister Jeong,- the girl who is like an orphan but she texted us and told us that she couldnt' make it because she was going to her baptismal service in the Catholic church. :( :( But she still wants to meet with us another time so hopefully that will happen.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> We have also been trying to contact some less active members and help them. We visited the less active member that came to stake conference and she fed us dinner. She is super nice and we are working on getting her to come to church more.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I studied prayer a lot this week and I'm feeling a lot better about my prayers. I am continuing to pray vocally and pray with gratitude more. One thing i have learned from praying vocally is that sometimes as I am praying out loud, I learn things from what I am saying. It sounds weird, but little things come to mind, or I get answers to my own questions from hearing myself say them out loud. I think i notice this more because i can hear it with my own voice and i put more thought into what I say before I say it. Praying out loud is helping a lot. I also studied the way Christ taught us to pray and was reminded of what a privilege it is that we can pray to our Heavenly Father any time and anywhere and He will always listen. </span><br />

This week we met with 정주윤 (jong joo yoon) and she also came to stake conference. She is keeping commitments and wants to be baptized on the 15th. We actually had the opportunity to teach her with her brother-in-law who is a member. He was able to share his testimony of the temple and the blessings that we receive if we keep the commandments and are worthy. It was good. She also saw her cousin, Elder Lee at conference and it was good!</div>

Each friday we meet with the bishop's wife and her friend and do the family english program together. She is keeping commitments and reading the Book of Mormon, but doesn't seem to be super interested in it. When we teach her it is a little bit hard because she has her son with her who is a big distraction but she tries to listen. We gave her a soft baptismal commitment and she said yes, but she kind of seems to just be going through the motions. I need to find out how she can become more converted.</div>

We got a referral from the Bishop of Nokebeon ward last week! (did i tell you this already? can't remember?) We went with him and visited an older lady who he knows in our area. She is about 88 years old and has no belief. We talked a lot about the plan of Salvation and that we will see our families again after this life. She doesn't want to keep meeting, but we might try and help her here and there.</div>

I went on exchanges with 홍선혜 this week and it was good! I was a little nervous because she speaks no English and the other 3 girls she lives with are Korean and one speaks english. But it worked out and I was able to speak Korean to her the whole time. We communicated totally fine. it was a miracle! We did lots of street contacting and I learned new things from her.!</div>

I had interviews with President Christensen this week. I asked him some questions of how I can improve my prayers and he encouraged me to try to pray vocally and thank Him for 10 minutes. So yesterday and today I have been doing it. At first when I knelt down I wondered if I could fill up the time with just things I am thankful for, but I thought and then began praying. As I prayed I thought of so many things that I am thankful for. The more I thanked Him, the more I realized I have. I have been blessed with so much!! I felt so peaceful and happy. I found an appreciation for things I wouldn't normally appreciate or thank Him for. Praying out loud also helped me to understand and remember that He really is listening to me right when I say my prayers. It was a really cool opportunity to express my faith to Heavenly Father through my gratitude. After I finished my prayer I felt so light weight and happy. I realized I had prayed and thanked Him for 25 minutes and I was so shocked because i didn't realize that much time had gone by. It was a special experience. I think this is really good for me because I think the reason my prayers seemed to feel different was because I was 1. showing less gratitude and 2. not always aligning my will with His will. Nothing changed on His part. It is my own fault for showing less faith through my prayers. I am going to continue to improve my prayers. I have been studying prayer a lot this and I have already learned a lot.</div>

This week was good! It was super busy but a lot of good things happened!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414640757827_18610" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Saturday was really busy with the baptisms, mission exhibition, and the ward halloween party. The baptism went really well. It was really neat to hear Hanna get up and share her testimony. Her parents who are Catholic came and supported her so that was really cool too. I think it was a really special day for both Hanna and 윤비 (yoon bee). In our last lesson with Hanna before her baptism, our commitment was to meet Sis Lee at the temple in one year so she can be sealed to her family. She really wants to be sealed to her family forever so she said she will. She is moving next week to Seoul South mission so we will refer her to them for the RC lessons. We are going to start doing the RC lessons with 윤비 this week.</div>

We met with 전주윤 (jeon joo yoon) yesterday and taught her the plan of salvation. She accepts everything well and never has any questions which is a little hard. We try to ask her questions to get her to respond to make sure she understands well. We asked her to explain the plan to us after and she explained really well. I asked her what she needs to do in order to live in the Celestial Kingdom with Heavenly Father and so we talked about the gospel and baptism... etc. She said she still wants to be baptized next month. She came to church yesterday and is keeping commitments. </div>

We got a referral from the elders this week. It was a girl they met and invited to the halloween party. She came and brought a friend. They are both high school students and are super cute. They had a ton of fun at the halloween party and made friends with some of the young women. One of them was going to come to church yesterday but slept in on accident but they are both planning on coming this sunday.</div>

So on saturday we had to scrub the baptism font before the baptism and i was in there and suddenly this MASSIVE spider comes crawling out from the drain and Sister Haynie and I both freaked out and thankfully the elders caught it and killed it, but it was so scary and so funny at the same time. hahaha we just have so many random things happen.</div>

I have to describe sunday mornings to you. Because it's just so different than the typical sunday morning in Utah. So all the missionaries greet the members at the door or on the road so we see them all roll in 9:55. (typical mormon style) but instead of the suburbans all flying into the parking lot, taxis all pull up and members hop out. I love it. Meanwhile, the other church across the street meets in like the 4th floor of a building and they have like a rock band and all the members sing to it and it's soooo funny. hahhaa i love korea so much.</div>

the ward halloween party was a success. We had lots of different activities and it turned out to be really fun. the donught on a string game (except with choco pies), the cake walk, bobbing for apples- except we did cure- a fruit similar to cuties, fishing... etc. The 4 sister missionaries were crayons. it was fun!</div>

This week I studied Alma 36 about repentance/forgiveness and thought about Alma when he testified to Helaman and told his conversion process and how he went from being racked with his sins in pain and horror, and then remembering his father's prophecy unto the people concerning the coming of Christ to atone for the sins of the world. When he remembered, he was harrowed up by the memory of his sons no more. Then had joy and light and exquisite and sweet joy and longed to be with God. I think it's really cool that he remembered the words of his father. It shows that people may not accept what we say now, but later on they may remember the words we speak. I just love this chapter because it shows how the Atonement can relieve us of such terrible things and carry us to greater heights if we will allow it to.</div>

Well tons has happened since last week. Transfers and I'm in a new area. My new area is in the main part of Seoul more. I really like it! Tons of hills and neighborhoods. It's different from my last area in some ways, but similar in some ways too. My last ward was huge and this ward is tiny! I'm excited to meet more ward members. I live with 2 other sisters. One of them is sister Haynie who is from Burley Idaho. She is training a korean girl who joined the church a year ago. Sister Haynie and I served together when I was a greenie and went on exchanges together once. She is super sweet. She goes home 6 weeks before me. We are already really good friends so it's fun living with her. My comp is super sweet too. She is super solid and has a strong testimony. I really like her.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414640757827_17404" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

So we have already seen some really cool things here. First I will tell you about an investigator we have. Her name is Hanna. Her husband is a member but was LA for a long time. After her married her he introduced her to the church and has being coming ever since. She has been meeting with the missionaires for like 6 months or something. She has had 2 other baptism dates but her husband always tells her no and that she's not ready. Nobody could figure out why she wanted to be baptized, but her biggest opposition was her husband who is a member. So she has a baptismal date of this saturday and when we met her last week, she said her husband said no. My comp called and talked to him and he said they are moving next month and that she will get baptized after they moved. :( So we (all four sisters in our area) decided to fast for her and for her husband's heart to be softened. We taught her the other night and told her that we were fasting for her. She was really shocked and touched by the fact that we were doing that. Yesterday at church, her husband was still pretty set in his way, but thanked the missionaries for helping his wife. Then last night we got a call from Hanna. She said that her husband told her the reason for putting off her baptism. He felt like he is unworthy to baptize her since he was less active for a while so he kept delaying it. But they called up the Bishop and talked to him and the bishop said that he is worthy and he can baptize her. So he gave the Ok and she is being baptized this saturday. Hanna said she thinks it is from the fasting that touched his heart and made him open up. Miracle!!!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414640757827_17408" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We are also teaching a 10 year old girl who's mom is LA. Her aunt has been bringing her to church for a while and she has been taught by missionaries. Yesterday we taught her with 3 other primary kids and her aunt. The other primary kids are her friends and were so adorable in helping us teach the lesson and go over baptism interview questions. They are such good little missionaries! She is being baptized this saturday!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We met with one investigator this week and it was her second time meeting missionaries. She is actually the cousin of one of the elders serving in our zone. She is 19. Her name is Joo yoon. She really likes missionaries and usually comes to church. She is super sweet. We invited her to be baptized next month and she accepted it and accepted nov. 15 as her baptism date! yay!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414640757827_17426" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So the elders gave us a referral the other night. They have an investigator who is really old- like in his 80's And they told us to come meet his "granddaughter". We went with elders to the man's house. He lives in a tinny villa apartment thing and his house is pretty sketchy. haha. anyways, we met the girl. Turns out she is actually not his granddaughter. She is 18 years old and is Chinese. SHe was born in korea and when she was 3 days old her mom abandoned her and went back to China. She has no family. Complete orphan. An old lady helped raise her and this man (the elder's investigator) was involved in helping poor kids in China get an education. So he has like no money, but he has raised money to help kids in the past. So he has tried to help her. He is kind of like a grandfather or father figure to her. anyways, we met her and she is absolutely adorable. The old guy kept saying: "Anderson. you have to help her." Anderson you have to help her." You are her American 어니 (oh nee which means older sister) So we got to know her and taught her about the BOM and she really liked it. She was so touched and grateful that we gave it to her. I told her that sometimes I feel lonely here in Korea. My family is in America and I'm all by myself here. Sometimes I feel alone. But when I read this book, I feel comforted and I don't feel alone. I know that no matter where we are, Heavenly Father knows us and loves us and we can pray to him anytime. She said that growing up, she had no family or anything. just the lady who was raising her. So she would come home and hug her dolls and call them 어니 (sister) and talk to them. She was so grateful that she met us and started calling me 어니. She said she wants to meet with us again. The bummer is that she lives pretty far. But she said she will come back. We ended up going to eat some food at a tiny WAY cheap chinese resturant and after, we took her to the train station to go home. She texted us after and said thank you so much. This day has so much meaning to me... She is so sweet. I can't even tell you how much i love her even though I barely know her! She was actually pretty interested in our message. I hope we can meet her again soon.</div>

hi!</div>

This week it was so so good to listen to Conference! We watched part on friday, part on sunday, and the women's session this morning. We were crammed in the clerk's office this morning watching it off the internet. it was fun! Also it was so fun to finally see the girls singing I love to see the temple!! They are so cute!!!! loved it so much!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414640757827_11947" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The other days we were in the little visitor's center in our church that has a flat screen on the wall. I wrote down 4 or 5 specific questions I had regarding myself and my investigators that I was hoping I would receive answers to, and I got an answer to every one of them. It was so good! One of my favorite talks was Elder Bednar's talk in the last session about why we share the gospel- because we want to share what makes us feel good and let others experience the same. So good!! I also loved Pres. Uchtdorf's, Elder Scott's, Pres. Eyering, and Pres. Monson's talks. Conference is the best!!!!</div>

A highlight of conference was that 박정미 (park jong me) came to the Saturday morning session of Conference! We taught her earlier in the week with a member who is about her same age. They have become really good friends and it was really helpful having her there. Having the member there seemed to help her open up and ask more questions. It went a little different than we had originally planned, but it went well. We talked about the Priesthood and why we need to be baptized through Christ's restored Priesthood. She still doesn't fully understand that, but we were able to help explain, with the member, why our church is the only church that has the priesthood. She has been taught all of this before, but I think it's just taking a while for her to fully understand everything. Anyways, the member helped her decide to come to conference and then they sat together. She said it was really good and she felt so peaceful to hear God's word. I am going to see her on Tuesday before I leave, and then she will have a lesson on Wednesday again with the same member.</div>

I am sad to leave 녹번 but excited to meet new people in 길음. Leaving an area is always hard but I know that It is where Heavenly Father needs me and I will go and do my best. I am thankful that I could serve here with Sister Fuller. She is awesome and I learned tons from her.</div>

We had dinner with all 12 missionaries at these sweet member's house. They are an elderly couple in the ward that remind me of Baba and Grandma. They went all out and made so much good food. They were so sweet and loving having everyone over. Kept saying how happy they were and took lots of pics. I told her thank you so much and that she reminds me of my grandma. They were so adorable. Made me miss bobs and grandma :)</div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1412721151743_8370" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone!<br /><br />This week was good. We didn't have very many lessons, but we got to be out talking to people a lot so that was good. We had a ward activity and we all went hiking through a pass in Bukhansan Mountain. It was a ton of fun and so fun to be up in the mountains. (i miss the mountains a lot!) It was a great opportunity to talk to members and get to know some better. One thing about Korea is that EVERYONE hikes. haha all people like 40 or older hike. They all have their special hiking clothes they wear all the time and are constantly going. so fun. haha. Anyways, We invited a lot of investigators and potential investigators. Sadly none could come, but we still had a good time with the members and it was way pretty.<br /><br />So for the month of october, Sister Fuller and I are cuttting out sweets, white flour, and rice. (yes rice the thing we eat at EVERY meal) haha except for member meals, because it's impolite to reject. So, we went to the market and bought tons of fresh veggies and have been eating extra healthy. so fun! The markets here are so great. a million little ladies sitting on the street selling fresh veggies for SO cheap. so much fun. I will have to send a pic next week.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A member took us to lunch this week and took us to eat PIG FEET. haha it actually wasn't too bad, but the thought of eating a pig's foot was a little alarming. the way they eat it is wrapped in a piece of lettuce with some sauce on it. (my favorite food- just with meat other than pig feet) haha.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This week all of the primary kids from the stake came for a thing at our church. They were all in the gym so i went in to say hi and they all came running up to me saying "Anderson Cha mae neem! Anderson cha mae neem!!" (sister anderson) tugging on my arms and legs and hugging me. HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THE KOREAN CHILDREN!!!! In my area now, there aren't a ton of kids, so i miss all of the sweet kids in my last ward. so much fun to see them. They are like my little siblings. Thanks for sending the pics of the girls singing in the women's session!! I know a whole bunch of them and love them so much. i can't wait to watch it!!!! <3<br /><br />Investigators:<br />진영선s (jin young son) cancelled both of our lessons with her this week. It's a bummer when you prepare so much for investigators and really feel like what you have planned will help them and then they cancel. We have been sending her quotes and scriptures throughout the week and usually she doesn't comment back on them. We are staying on top of the ward members- the ones that she knows well- and are making sure they invite her to church and text her. A few members have been really good about that. I continue to fast and pray for her to have a desire to come back. I really hope we can meet with her this week.<br /><br />We met with 박정미 (park jong me) this week and she is doing really well. We taught her about the gospel of Jesus Christ and kind of linked it to the Plan of Salvation. She read one of the chapters we assigned her to this week but apologized because she didn't have it memorized, but when we reviewed it, she knew everything perfectly. When we teach her, I can see the spirit working on her. I really feel like she knows it's true, it's just a lot to take in so she's taking it slow. When I asked her if she believes it's true, she said well this is all new to me. She didn't say yes or no, but I testified and told her that before we came to earth we all knew this plan and wanted this plan. I promised her that if she prays about it, this plan will seem familiar to her and she will know that it is true. We are meeting with her again this wednesday with a member in the ward who is about her same age, who she has met with in the past. I love Sis. Park so so much. She is so great. This week we're going to try to giver her a baptismal date.<br /><br />This month our focus is the doctrine of Christ, particularly Enduring to the end. I have been thinking a lot about it since training so I studied it a little bit this week. I read Elder Uchtdorf's talk from conference 2 years ago called "of Regrets and Resolutions" He talks about 3 things that many people wished they could change as they were nearing the end of their life. 1. spending time with those they love 2. living up to their potential 3. let themselves be happier. I thought about those things, and then I also thought about the things I am learning from my mission that will help me endure to the end. I wrote a letter to myself for the future, and talked about specific things that I have learned from my mission that I will do for the rest of my life, along with committing myself to the gospel and to be a disciple of Jesus Christ forever.<br /><br />I am so thankful to be here in Korea. I love being a missionary and I love this gospel with all of my heart. I know that it is true and the only thing that will bring us TRUE happiness in this life. I love you!!! </span></div>

This week was good! Sister Fuller and I pick a topic to focus on each week and this week was our happiness week. We studied a little about happiness and made it a happy week. It was really fun. Nothing much happened to make it extra happy, but we just were focusing on being more happy and we were. kind of fun. </div>

Anyways, going to the temple this week was so good. It always feels so good to be there. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to go each transfer. I have noticed that I kind of rely on the temple in a way. I look forward to it so much each transfer and I begin to feel a need for it when I haven't' gone in a while. I am thankful for the chance to go regularly and to depend on the strength that we get from the temple. That will definitely be something that I rely on regularly for the rest of my life. After the temple, we went to a buffet with all of the missionaries (2 zones) and then went to President Christensen's house and made cookies and played games. It was a blast! Probably one of the funnest p-days yet. </div>

As far as investigators go, this week we were able to meet 진영선 and miraculously with a member! We have been trying so hard to meet with her and a member but members would cancel, or sis jean would cancel and we couldn't seem to make it work. But finally, on friday it worked out perfect. We met with the stake president's wife. She is awesome. Sis jean was kind of difficult to work with. She went over to the corner of the room and plugged in her phone and kept texting on it all throughout the meeting. We had a whole lesson planned for her that we really felt she needed. We planned a lot for it and practiced it and then she didn't really want to have a lesson. I still don't understand what she was doing, if she didn't want a lesson, but we were still able to talk a little bit. We followed up on last week's reading in JSH, but she didn't read it so we read some with her. The member shared her conversion story and sis. Jean was touched by it. I was really thankful that the member was willing to share her testimony. Sis. jean thinks that the reason her dad went into the hospital is because of her baptism. (a negative result). And so that's one thing she is still having a problem with. We haven't met with her friend lately because her friend has cancelled. We continue to invite her to church but she doesn't come. We will continue to meet with her and try to help her back.</div>

We meet with 박정미 (park jong me) each week and she is awesome. She read the chapters we asked her to read and always understands. We taught her about our purpose on earth and why we need the gospel of Jesus Christ. She gets everything. I really think she knows it's true. The only problem is she goes to another church and so every week when we invite her to come to church she tells us that she is going to her church. I think making the change is the hardest part for her. This week we are going to focus more on the plan of salvation. I love her so much and want her to have the faith to take action.</div>

We met with the lady that followed us from the park last week. She is really nice but the lesson was a hard one. She was bouncing everywhere in the Bible showing us 1000 verses and none of them were connecting. We were trying to teach about the Book of Mormon, but had a hard time with her taking over the lesson. We want to try and meet with her and a member but I don't know if she will meet with us again. We shared our testimonies and asked her to read a chapter from the Book of Mormon. </div>

조현 (cho hyun) is doing awesome. We are going through the lessons again and teaching her. Her mom (former LA) is great too. They come every week and are making more friends. They are so sweet. She came with us to the baptismal service on Saturday and I don't think she has been to one since she was baptized so it was good.</div>

Recently I have been studying about the Apostasy and dispensations...etc. and going into depth on each part of the Restoration. It has been really good. Dad, I have also been going through and reading the conference talks from last conference and preparing for this conference. I am so so excited for conference!!</div>

This week our ward is having an activity and we're all going hiking somewhere up Bukhansan mountain. I'm sooo excited! So apparently back in the day, North Korea dug tons of tunnels under this mountain to send spies and tanks and stuff into South Korea. So, When we go we have to bring our foreigner ID cards so they know that we're not spies. haha </div>

cockroaches: i saw one on the floor of the bathroom in the church last week and freaked out so of course the elders came and went in and caught it. They are always telling us their stories of catching cockroaches at their house and freezing them and stuff. So classic. hahaha but really the cockroaches are so sick. </div>

This week was good. It went by really fast. We were able to meet some new people and are finding some new investigators so that has been good. We had Stake conference and it was so good!! I got to see some members from my last area which made me so happy! Kim Hoee my RC from WonDang came and we got to sit together. She is still doing great and it was so good to see her! <3</div>

This week we met with 진영선 (this time only her because her friend couldn't meet) so that worked out good. She brought her Bible and she showed us a whole bunch of random verses in Revelations. Nothing against what we were saying, just random things. We are learning that she really doesn't have a testimony of the Restoration and she feels like the Book of Mormon is like "going to another country and not knowing the language." Before, she was really accepting about the Book of Mormon and really wanted to read it. she has a hard time reading so we got her the CDs to listen to when we were at the temple. Now she doesn't really care anymore. :( We were supposed to meet with her and her friend again on friday (she doesn't want to meet with just us anymore) but she cancelled. She didn't come to Stake Conference and wont answer our calls or texts. We are supposed to meet with them 2 times this week, but I'm not really sure what is going to happen. If we meet with them, we are going to teach the Restoration- specifically the part about dispensations, Christ establishing his Church and dispensations.</div>

We met with 박정미 this week and told her that we wouldn't be able to do the 6 week english thing again, but that we could teach her once a month and teach her gospel stuff the other times. She is actually still intersted and wants to do that. So she has some gospel interest. She reads the Book or Mormon and understands pretty well. She reads the chapters we assign over and over so she can understand what is happening. She always comes filled with good questions. This week we are going to talk more about our purpose on the earth and why we need the gospel in our lives. We are also going to give her a baptismal date.</div>

We met someone this week on the streets and she agreed to meet with us again. We went to the park and taught her on the benches. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and while we were teaching her, I saw another lady come down and sit on another bench near us. I didn't pay much attention to her but she could hear what we were saying. After the lesson was finished, we got up and started walking home. (us with the investigator) We walked through all these different streets of the neighborhood for about 5 minutes when we heard someone say something to us. We looked back and it was the lady who was on the bench by us at the park. She had followed us ever since we left and asked about our message. She is interested in learning. Her and our investigator both bonded really well and we all walked together and talked. Today Sis. Fuller and Sis. Lee (because we are on exchanges) are meeting with the lady who was on the bench, and then our new investigator a few hours later. It was a cool little miracle! </div>

Yesterday that guy I met on the streets last month was baptized. He is really awesome and I think he will be a solid member. He is dying to have a calling so hopefully the Bishop will give him one soon. He knows the Bible inside and out and can recite like every scripture. ha ha so maybe he can help the elders in lessons or something. He loves the BOM and is so happy.</div>

We had stake conference this weekend and it was SO good! Elder Whiting from the seventy came and spoke. It was great. He talked about hastening the work. He talked about President Christensen and President Lee (temple president) holding keys but that we the members have to help turn the keys. We watched that video they showed last year in the world wide missionary broadcast thing about families preparing themselves and watching for opportunities to have missionary experiences. Pres Christensen spoke a little and so did the temple pres. President had all the missionaries stand up and say our purpose. It was really cool. Elder Whiting said "if you want missionary opportunities, prepare and seek for opportunities, and you will find them" I know that if we look we will find chances to share the gospel with people!! Stake conference was great and i got to see lots of members I love and especially the cute kids from my last ward! I was so happy!</div>

I have been studying Jesus the Christ a lot lately and always learn so much from learning about Christ's life. I read about Christ calling his apostles to go preach the gospel and telling them to be fearless. The worst thing that could happen is that they die and that's not as bad as someone not having the gospel. So my goal for this week is to be completely fearless. Another thing I have learned while reading is that faith is a means of power. Every miracle Christ performed came because someone had faith. </div>

This week has been a harder one. 진영선 (jean young son) was the lady who got baptized a few weeks ago, but hasn't been to church to get confirmed. The bishop called me a few nights ago and told me that he talked to her on the phone and basically her friend (the one she referred to us) is not the best influence for her. She is against our church and trying to prevent sis. jean from becoming a member. Now sis jean is going back on her testimony and can't the Bishop said she can't be confirmed for a while. She isn't keeping the word of wisdom and has some other problems. She didn't come to church yesterday just because she was tired. I talked to President Christensen about it last night and he said all these things happening is Satan trying to stop her. We are going to teach her the post-baptism lessons, so basically teach her everything all over again. Hopefully she can regain a testimony. Her faith is so shaky right now. Basically the Bishop told me to teach the friend well because if the friend gets a testimony, then sis. jean will be solid. if not, she'll probably leave. Please pray for her! :( </div>

We have a few other investigators we are meeting with this week. Doing the 30/30 english/ gospel thing with them.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1410830241258_147891" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week we will meet with 박정미 again. She is a former investigator we found that has english interest but seems to have a lot of potential. We are going to talk about doing english once a month and her coming to english class, but still try to get her to meet with us. </div>

Randomly a lady called us up this week and asked us about our Family English program and is interested in doing it. I'm not sure if she has met with missionaries or not before so we will find out with her. She seems really nice so hopefully that will go ok.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1410830241258_147894" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

We found a less active family that we are going to try and work with. They are all members and the mother served a mission and used to be the RS president. The whole family is LA now. :( It makes me so sad.We want to get their family to come back. They are really nice people. </div>

We went to the temple this week with 초현 (Cho hyuen- Recent Convert) and did baptisms. It was really good. I think she really liked it. it felt really peaceful there and I think she could feel that. She was happy. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Also, this was kind of crazy! Right as we were leaving the temple I ran into Amy Doxey (now Amy Hatch) a friend from High School outside on the grounds. It was so crazy. She has been living in China with her husband and came to korea for the weekend because of her travel visa. it was so bizarre to run into someone I know in korea! it was fun to talk for a few minutes and take a picture. I think Heavenly Father was watching out for me because i was feeling so sad on saturday about 진영선 and it cheered me up to see someone I know! So crazy! </div>

We had tons of member appointments this week which was fun. We got fed tons of fish, which i loved! (starting to love korean food more and more)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I was at the post office the other day and this Buddhist monk started talking to me. He was dressed in his "monk" clothes and all. We see them around sometimes but i've never actually talked to one. He was super nice, and asked about missionaries and what we do. Also, right after that I saw a foreigner and so he started talking to us and asked if we were missionaries. He said he was from Arizona and is a member but not active. I told him I am a sun devil fan and he was way excited. ha ha. so random.</div>

Hey everyone!!!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1410294116872_46371" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

This week was good! My new companion is Sister Fuller. She is really nice! She is from Salt Lake and comes from a family of 13 kids! We graduated the same year and she studied at BYU for 2 years as well. We have been working hard ever since she got here and it feels so good! I really like her and am excited for this transfer to learn from her and to work with her. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1410294116872_46232" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

We are trying to find some new investigators so we are focusing a lot on finding right now. We talked to some really cool people this week and were able to set up a few appointments. I followed up on the lady that accepted a Book of Mormon last week and she told me that she has been reading it and it's a little hard but she wants to meet so we can talk about it. So that was a miracle! We will be meeting with her next week. I'm really excited. </div>

Our investigator/ RC (not really sure what to call her right now) is doing good. She was baptized on Aug. 30th but missed church again yesterday because she was down in Busan again spending Chusok with her dad who is in the hospital. So we were bummed she couldn't come and be confirmed but I guess it's important that she is with her dad. We did see her twice this week though. She wanted to see Sis Jeon before she left so she took us to dinner one night. So she invited a friend to her baptism and she referred her friend to us. Her friend has English interest and not very much interest in the gospel, but we met with her and started the Family English program. I think that 진영선 will be a good example to her. She understands our purpose as missionaries and so we are excited to teach her. </div>

Sister Fuller and I are trying to work with some less active members in the ward so we have been contacting some members and looking through records. We set up an appointment with one and are planning on meeting with her this week. We are also going to meet with some members to find out who some less active members are that we can go find.</div>

The man who the Elders are teaching that sis. jeon and i met is doing great. He is going to be baptized next week! He comes to church every week and now comes to our English classes. The elders meet with him a few times a week and he is doing awesome.</div>

This week I read Ether ch. 6 about the Jaredite's journey to the promised land in the barges. In verse 6 it says they commended themselves unto the Lord their God" then it talks about the mountain waves and furious wind that blew them. Their vessels were tight like unto a dish so they were protected and the winds always blew them toward the promised land. I thought about their journey and compared it to a mission. I liked the part that talked about commending themselves unto the Lord. Giving it all to him and letting His will become theirs. I think this stuck out to me because President Christensen talked about consecration in Mission conference. I love the part about the huge waves and furious winds. I thought about all of the ups and downs and good times and hard times on a mission, but if we are obedient, we will always be protected. Just like the Jaredites were protected because they obeyed and their boats were tight like a dish. I like that the winds always blew them towards the promised land. I think that the "winds" of our missions will always blow us into the direction that we need to go, and then we will progress and become what the Lord wants us to. I'm thankful for the Book of Mormon and the way we can apply it to our lives today.</div>

Mission Conference was really good! It was on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. President and Sister Christensen spoke to us a lot about prayer because that is our focus for the month, and then about obedience, sacrifice, and consecration. It was so so good! We talked about doing all 3 of those things so we can call down on the powers of Heaven to help us in our missionary work. We had a big lunch and did some stuff to celebrate the chusok holiday. Then we had zone training with our zone leaders and sister training leaders. It was really good. It was so fun to see all of my other friends in the mission! i will send some pics.</div>

On saturday our investigator 진영선 was baptized!!!! Thanks for the prayers!!! It was a complete miracle. She was really happy on her baptism day and everything went really well. She said she had a really deep impression and felt really good. It was great! The missionaries all sang the Armies of Helaman and the Spirit was there. She wanted to bring a friend to her baptismal service but her friend got there late and was only able to be there for the very end when we ate food. At least she got to come to our church and meet some members. She was supposed to be confirmed yesterday but didn't show up to church. We were panicking wondering why she wasn't there or responding to any of our texts or calls, but she text us later on and told us she had to go down to Busan to be with her dad who is in the hospital. She felt bad, but hopefully she can come this week. I am just glad that everything is still OK. I think she is doing really well. Please continue to pray for her! She told the DL the other day that she is going to drink coffee after her baptism. :'( So we're hoping that this doesn't happen. She needs the gift of the Holy Ghost! Hopefully this sunday.</div>

Remember that guy that i randomly met on the street a few weeks ago? The Elders are teaching him and he is loving everything. He comes to church and came to the Baptism on Saturday. He wants to be baptized so bad. He wants to serve in our church too. He believes that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and is so accepting. He has to attend church 3 times and this sunday will be his 3rd time. So he may be getting baptized the following saturday. He is great! </div>

Again, we were home most of the time this week, but the first few days of the week were a little better. We were able to get out and do just a little bit of street contacting. I met a nice lady who accepted a Book of Mormon and said she would read it. She also gave me her number. I think that because I haven't had very many opportunities to get out and talk to people these last few weeks, I am able to notice the small miracles that do happen more. Somebody accepting a Book of Mormon and saying that they will read it meant so much more to me than it ever has. The little things mean so much more.</div>

This week I got the letter from Dad with the talk by President Monson called "Decisions determine Destiny" Thank you for sending it!!! i love it. It's such a good talk and it has made me think a lot about the little decisions we make that can have large consequences. One part that stuck out to me was when he said "I urge you to not take counsel of your fears." He talked about the consequences that can come if we are too afraid to pursue something because it is too hard or you are afraid of failure. I was thinking about that and I applied it to missionary work. If we take counsel from our fears and are too afraid to talk to that one person, there can be major consequences. A decision to share the gospel with someone can change their destiny and our destiny. I have just been thinking a lot about that this week.</div>

We were able to meet with our investigator 진영선 (Jean young son) on friday and she said she has been keeping the word of wisdom!!!! We taught her lesson 4, and she took everything well. We brought up the baptismal interview questions and asked her the first one: Do you believe God is our loving Heavenly Father.... and she freaked out. She thought we were doubting her past faith (she has always believed in God) and so she got so upset and told us she didn't want to be baptized anymore. (totally unexpected reaction). We helped her calm down but we ended off with her saying that she didn't want to be baptized but that she would continue to keep the Word of Wisdom and come to church on sunday and meet with the Bishop. I asked her if she still believes everything is true and she said yes. I think she just got a little worked up.</div>

Yesterday she did come to church and met with the Bishop. She is planning on being baptized this Saturday and she said she has still been keeping the Word of Wisdom! Some members at church were nice to her and made her feel welcome. I think she feels comfortable with everything. We are meeting with her on wednesday and she will probably have her interview with the DL after. I hope she can take the interview ok. Cross your fingers. :/ ehhh.</div>

Pray for her this week please!!! She is a huge miracle! At the beginning of the transfer (before we even met her) Sister Jeon and I circled August 30th as a day we wanted to have a baptism. We set a goal to find someone and teach them and have a baptism on that day. We prayed and asked Heavenly Father to help us achieve our goal. 3 days later we met 진영선. She has to be baptized on Saturday!!! </div>

This hard time has given me the opportunity to study Christ's life more and focus on the way Christ would act in tough situations. I am so thankful for the scriptures and for the strength they give me when I read them. I know that by reading the scriptures daily, we will have those thoughts in our minds and be able to react more Christ-like in any situation. There were a few times this week when people said some really hurtful things. There was one time that I wanted to defend myself and say things back, but immediately I thought about Jesus Christ and what he would do. The scripture 1 Nephi 19:9 came to my mind and I said it to myself in my mind. "And the world, because of their iniquity shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him and he suffereth it and they smite him and he suffereth it and they spit upon him and he suffereth it because of his loving kindness and long-suffering towards the children of men." I am so thankful for the example of Jesus Christ who gives us a perfect pattern to follow. It is not easy, but when I think about Him and they way he reacted in certain situations, I truly feel strength to act as he acts and do what he did.</div>

This week our investigator, 진 accepted a baptismal date! This week we taught her the Plan of Salvation, and she liked everything. She takes notes on everything we teach her. She loves it. On friday we taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ and taught her the Word of Wisdom- this time more in depth. She has an addiction to coffee so she is having a little bit of a hard time with it. She can understand why we don't drink alcohol or smoke, but she doesn't understand coffee. We told her we don't understand everything, but because we know that Joseph Smith is a prophet, we know the Word of Wisdom is true and we obey it. She believes in the Restoration and everything we have taught, so I think she believes that the Word of Wisdom is true, it's just hard to understand. Yesterday Sister Jeon and I fasted for her. She wasn't able to come to church but we talked to her on the phone and she is trying to keep the word of wisdom. She still really wants to be baptized and really wants the bishop to baptize her. She heard his testimony the first week she came to church and really likes him. We will keep praying for her to have the strength to overcome drinking coffee. She has to keep the word of wisdom for 2 weeks before she can be baptized. So in order to be baptized on the 30th, she has to keep it until her baptism. Pray for her! :)</div>

Another miracle that happened this week happened on tuesday. We were out walking down the street heading to find a less active address when a man stopped me and asked who we were. We told him we are missionaries for the church and he recognized our church. He also asked about a book we have so we showed him the BOM. He said he was really interested and wanted to meet with the Elders. We got his number and met with him and the elders yesterday. We did some how to begin teaching and then taught him part of the first lesson. He said that he wanted to become a member right then, but we explained baptism and told him he needs to be taught everything first. He accepted a baptism date of September 20th. Elder G. and Elder M. will be teaching him and they are meeting again on thursday.</div>

This week in my scripture study, I read Helaman 5: 12. This is one of my favorite scriptures and I have been thinking a lot about it. I also read a talk from the April 2010 conference by Elder Wilford W. Andersen. He spoke about the hard things we go through in life, but that we can get through anything as long as we have Christ as our foundation. He said, "I speak to all who suffer, to all who mourn, to all who now face or who will yet face challenges or trials in this life. My message is to all who are worried or afraid or discouraged. My message is but an echo, a reminder of the constant comforting counsel from a loving Father to His children since the world began." Then he shared Helaman 5:12. I am so thankful that as long as we build our foundation on Christ and trust and apply the Atonement in our lives, we can withstand anything that comes to us and the Atonement will protect us. I am so so thankful for Christ's Atonement. I have seen the power of the Atonement as a missionary more than I ever have in my life. </div>

Lately I have to play the piano for the ward choir and our ward choir is the most intense choir and it's so stressful. It's like the most stressful part of my week. Trying to understand what the director is saying to me in korean while playing the piano. hahaha but it's fun too :)</div>

The other day I was at the market and this wayyy old sweet little man came up to me and asked me where I was from. I told him I am from America and he bowed to me and said thank you. thank you. In Korean culture, old people never bow to younger people. We always bow to people older than us, especially if they are a lot older than us, so this was very unusual. He was so sweet. Koreans, especially older Koreans are so thankful for America because of the help America gave during the war.</div>

The September Liahona or Ensign has an article about Korea! There are pictures of members of the WonDang ward (my last ward) that I love! If you look on the little square pictures on the left page, there is a picture of an old grandma praying. She was one of the members i loved visiting in wondang! I think i sent you a picture of me with her and some of the other sisters a few months ago. At the bottom of that same page is another member holding her daughter. Remember that adorable daughter i sent pictures to you of? She is also the member who posted that pic of us on facebook before i transferred. haha anyways, i wanted to tell you who those people were in those pictures. 2 of my favorite members!</div>

Hello!!! </div>
<div class="yiv1808532565" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1407850403582_2250" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Well, this week has been interesting. This morning the missionaries all went to a funeral for someone in the ward. He is actually not a member but his son and daughter are, and they are in the ward. Funerals in Korea are totally different and it was kind of an eye opening experience. We all (the missionaries, other close friends and members, and the family) all rode on a massive bus all the way up in the mountains to this tomb place and we all gathered around the spot where they bury the body. Someone spoke and said some things and then we all sang a few songs. Part of the whole funeral thing is actually literally burying the person who died. So each person in the family helped bury him. It was so different than anything I have ever experienced. His wife and another daughter were not members and were having a really hard time. Another daughter and son are members and were handling everything well. it was sad to see people who don't believe in the Plan of Salvation and feel like it's the end of everything. I am so thankful for the plan of Salvation and the knowledge that we have that this life is just a short part of the plan. We will see our loved ones again and this life is not the end. It was a really eye-opening experience and it made me so thankful to have the gospel and knowledge we have in my life.</div>

On Tuesday 진영 came to English class and then we met with her and talked for a little bit. She asked some questions about baptism and being baptized if she has already been baptized. We explained a little about the Priesthood and told her we have to be baptized by proper authority. She seemed fine with it and accepted it well. She also asked some questions about the word of wisdom and she told us she loves to drink coffee. We briefly talked about it, but didn't have time to do an actual lesson since she was there for English. She came to church though on Sunday and really liked the RS lesson and Gospel Principles lesson. Some members were really nice to her and made her feel comfortable, which was good. After Gospel Principles, she went into the kitchen and was trying to find pans and stuff to make coffee. :( :( Sister Jeon and I were really bummed. She knows that it is against the word of wisdom but she kept saying it's fine! She couldn't understand why we seemed so sad and distressed that she was making coffee in the church kitchen. We were able to finish teaching her the first lesson and she understood everything very well. She loves learning about the Restoration and accepts it all. She wants to read the Book of Mormon but she has a hard time reading so she's trying to find an ap to download the audio. All in all, she is doing really well. She hasn't been taught everything yet so she doesn't understand all of the commandments completely, but she is on her way.</div>

We met with 김선 this week and talked about wrapping up the Family English Program. We are almost to week 6. Sadly, I don't think she has much interest in the gospel. I think she believes our message is good and that it might be true. She thinks our church is good and has good standards, but she says she's too busy to come to church. She just doesn't understand the importance of the gospel and the priority it needs to be in our lives. </div>

조현, the recent convert we are teaching is doing really well. She is adorable and I love her! This week we talked about temples and baptisms for the dead. She wants to go to Seoul to the temple. This week she is going to meet with the Bishop and get a recommend so we can hopefully go next week with her.</div>

I have been reading Jesus the Christ lately and I have learned sooo much. I love learning about Christ and the way He acted to everyone. He was always so kind and full of patience. I feel so close to Him as I study about him in the Book of Mormon and learn about things He did when He was on the Earth. I know he is close by us and always assisting us in missionary work and helping us do everything he asks. I feel like when I learn about Him and the way He acted in situations, it makes it easier for me to react the way he would and be more Christ-like.</div>

This week was a little bit better than last week. We met a new investigator, which was a total miracle!!</div>

Tuesday Sister J. and I served in the visitor center. Just as we were about to walk out the door to leave, a man and a woman showed up to the church and walked inside. The man said that he had met elders before, the woman was his friend that was with him. We found out that Elder M had found him and he had come to church a few times. The lady, 진영 wanted to look around our church and was filled with questions. We showed her around and she loved everything. She took a picture of the wall in the visitor center and said she was really interested. We set up an appointment and met with her again on tuesday. She came to the church and she had so many questions. We taught her about the Restoration and answered her questions. We watched the Restoration DVD with her and shared a Book of Mormon with her. She loved everything. While we were teaching her, she said "this is what I've been looking for." She is so prepared. We gave her the soft baptismal commitment and she accepted it. We invited her to church and set up another appointment. She told us she would come to church, but when we called to follow up on Sat. night and Sun morning, she didn't answer. We went to relief society kind of bummed that she didn't come, but 5 minutes after RS started, she came walking in and sat down by us. She stayed for most of church, but had to leave after the Sacrament for something she had yesterday. She loved church though and loved the member who taught gospel principles. We are meeting with her again on tuesday and are hoping to give her a baptismal commitment with a date!</div>

We are continuing to teach 김정 and her son the Family English Program. This week when we met her, she told us that she prayed to understand our message and the Book of Mormon. She always keeps her commitment to read the Book of Mormon, but she hasn't been coming to church lately. I don't know her super well yet, but it seems like she thinks our religion is good, but doesn't see how important everything is and why she needs the gospel in her life. We shared the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet with her and she liked it. We talked a lot about the word of Wisdom and how the commandments and standards we have blesses our lives. This week we are thinking about teaching her lesson 3. I really hope she can come to church this week.</div>

We taught a lesson on Saturday to Sister J's recent convert. She is so sweet and I already love her so much! We talked about Joseph Smith and reviewed the BOM and Restoration a little bit. We also talked about modern day prophets a little bit. She seems to be doing really well. She has been coming to church with her mom.</div>

This week during study, I read a lot about the missionaries in the Book of Mormon. I love reading about Alma and Amulek and the Lord giving them the strength to be delivered. Something that I have been thinking about a lot is praying for the strength to handle hard things, rather than asking Heavenly Father to take them away. I have prayed a lot lately for the capacity to handle tough situations and to be able to do what the Lord needs me to do. As I have done this, I have had the strength to be more patient and understanding than usual. I love learning about the missionaries in the BOM. They were constantly being tried, yet they were instruments in God's hands and became even more solid.</div>

This week we got transfer calls and I'm transferring to Nokebon. I am so sad to be leaving WonDang, but thankful for every day that I got to serve here. I learned so much from the ward members and from being in this area. I am excited to serve in Nokebon and look forward to meeting new people there. Nokebon is actually in the same zone and same stake so I will be close. I am sad to leave my district and the girls in my house too! We have had so much fun together. I hope i grow to love my new area as much as i love WonDang!</div>

We met with park een young this week and talked to her about the commandments. We specifically talked about keeping the Sabbath day holy since she works everyday and can't come to church. We promised the blessings that come from keeping keeping the Sabbath day holy, and talked about trying to switch her schedule so she could come to church but she can't and doesn't really want to. We talked a lot about being obedient and the blessings that always come when we obey God. We found out that she isn't interested in the gospel enough to keep meeting with her without doing English. This week will be the last lesson we (or Sis. Ahn) will have with her. </div>

We got a referral from our ward mission leader!! It was a lady who visited the 일산 ilsan ward. Her name is 김애실 (kim aye sheer). She walked in and asked if it was the Mormon church and stayed for Sacrament meeting. She actually lives in our area and really close to our church, so they sent her information over to our Bishop. Anyways, we met with her and with the relief society president in our ward. I don't know how much interest she has in our church, but she had some questions about the Book of Mormon and about our church. We answered her questions and showed her around our church. We invited her to church and she said she would come. We tried calling her on Saturday to remind her and again on sunday, but she never came.</div>

We met with a lady named Christina as well. We met with her about 2 months ago. (she is the one from Fullerton CA) She is gradually opening her heart up to coming to church and believing in God. She used to believe in God, but when she was newly married she had some hard things happen in her life and kind of gave God the blame. She stopped praying to Him and stopped believing that he was there. She said now days she feels lonely and wants to believe in God. She is being very cautious though and is slowly opening back up. She is starting to look for the truth. She actually said she would come to church in a few weeks. (she just started a job and can't come for a few weeks). She is so sweet. I really think someday she will come to know that this church is true. Right now, it is just taking a little bit of time.</div>

김휘, Kim hooee (my recent convert) came to church again this week. We taught her part of the 5th lesson during Sunday School. We had a member (who is about her same age) come and help us. The lesson went well. We talked about eternal marriage and temples and family history. She had some questions and we are hoping to get her to the temple to do baptisms soon. She is doing great though. I am sad to leave now that she is coming back, but I think the ward will take good care of her. They all love her so much.</div>

This week I was thinking a lot about feeling close to Heavenly Father and the times when I have felt the closest to Him. As I look back, I have always felt close to Him, but I realize that some of the times that I have felt the very closest to Heavenly Father are the hardest times in my life. I was thinking about my experience in the MTC and how my prayers were the most sincere prayers I have probably ever given in my life. I poured my heart out constantly, pleading for help. I felt so alone and Heavenly Father was the only one I could always turn to. I realize that Heavenly Father was and is right by my side every step of the way. I also realize the power of our personal prayers and that the more sincere our prayers are, the closer we will feel to Him. I am also thankful for these experiences that humble me and make me rely on Christ more than ever in my life. The power of the Atonement has carried me throughout my mission. I am so thankful for every day I have to serve. </div>

Yesterday was probably one of the most stressful days. I had to speak in church since I am leaving, and then they decided to do a missionary fireside and had me and 2 elders speak at it. Also, all of the missionaries sang Armies of Helaman and I played the piano. It actually turned out good. I was so nervous to speak because I had zero time to prepare, so I was writing my talk as we were in the car driving to the fireside after a dinner appointment. ahh. Everyone was so sweet though. I was so sad sayign goobye to all of the cute kids. Some of them made me cute cards that said sister anderson! we love you! always think about us... and tons of cute little pictures. I took a picture with some of them and gave the kids that were at the fireside Korean CTR rings. We all took pictures together. I hate saying goobye. they are adorable! I am so sad to leave this area, but I am SO thankful for the chance I have had to serve here. </div>

This week was really interesting. Kind of a bummer as far as investigators go, but had some good times as well!</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">First of all, shout out to Baba and Grandma Anderson for their birthdays!

I love reading everyone's emails and hearing about life :)</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">On thursday we met with our investigator, 김경애. This time she brought her friend, who is another member of her church. Her friend was really nice and they taught us some stuff from the Bible. Then we started to share our message and talked about prophets and how there were prophets in the Bible, prophets in the BOM and a prophet who is on the earth today. For some reason 김경애 wasn't as nice as she usually is and quickly brought up the BOM and said that it is not the word of God, only the Bible is, and she kept trying to Bible bash. She was getting really worked up about the fact that we have another testament of Jesus Christ for some reason that day. We just calmly testified that we know that it is true and that they can find out for themselves if it is true or not. Even though she kept saying really mean things about the Book of Mormon, I didn't let it get to me and we just testified. I felt the Spirit as we were testifying that it is true. At the end of the lesson she told us that there is no need to teach her about the BOM anymore. She is not interested and doesn't believe it. We ended on good terms and we thanked her for the chance to meet with her and share our message and for her to share some things from the Bible. Even after her telling us every reason why she thought the BOM isn't true, I left that lesson with a stronger testimony than I ever have had in my life that the Book of Mormon is true and that it is the word of God. I am thankful that we had the chance to teach her. I learned a lot from her and I hope someday she will gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon for herself.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We met with 박인영 twice this week. In the first lesson, we showed her the Restoration film and reviewed about Joseph Smith and The Book of Mormon. She kept her commitment and read the scriptures we asked her to in the Book of Mormon, so that is good. In the other lesson we taught her how to study and apply the Book of Mormon and to receive answers when she reads. Earlier that morning, before I began reading my scriptures, I asked a specific question when I prayed and asked that I would be able to find an answer in my reading. I received a clear answer to my question while I was reading, and told her about that and how the Book of Mormon can apply to us personally. She has a lot of questions about our church, but I think we are going to have to be done teaching her next week because I think she is mainly English interested and we are done teaching her.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">When we met with Anna Kim this week, she had a lot of questions. Last time we talked about baptism and she was pretty open to the idea, so this time we talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and mainly focused on baptism. She always asks tons of questions about our church, the members, history of the church... etc. So we tried to answer some of those questions. She loves our church, but she is lacking a testimony of the Restoration. She is Catholic and has been her whole life. When we were meeting, she wrote on the white board: Catholic: believe LDS: understand. We testified that in order to believe or to KNOW that our church is true, she has to read the Book of Mormon with an open heart and she has to pray about the message of the Restoration. She can't meet for 2 weeks, but we are planning on meeting at the beginning of August.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The highlight of my week was yesterday when 김휘 Kim Hooee (my investigator who was baptized in March) came to our ward!! I haven't seen her in a few months, but of course have kept in contact. She moved back to Seoul and is living in Schinchon right now. Because she is brand new, she wants to go to our ward until she feels a little more comfortable and then she will go to the Schinchon ward. She is doing great. There was something different about her. She has more of a glow about her now. She seems happier than she was when I first met her. She said that she read the whole Book of Mormon and that it was hard to understand, but she wrote down scriptures and things she liked in a journal that Sis. Koo and I gave her at her baptism. The ward was SO sweet to her and automatically welcomed her back. It was so great! I am SO happy to see that she is doing so well.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This week Zone training was really good. Side note, on the way to zone training, our district was on the subway heading to Nokebon in Seoul. Our train stopped for like 45 minutes and half of the train was underground and the front part was out. We thought it was broken down, but found out that our train had hit and killed someone. :( :( How terrible is that? We had to switch trains so the police could come investigate. We ended up being pretty late to training. So sad :(</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">One thing that really stuck out to me in Zone training was when Sis. Evans 9a sister training leader) said this: "If you want to teach by the Spirit, you have to have the courage to say something you don't know how to say." This month we are focusing on How to Begin Teaching and being examples that our investigators can follow.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Random thing: the other day we were about to start studies and I got up to go shut the door and I saw a massive cockroach or something like that on the floor. I freaked out! It was right by our beds. (which are also on the ground.) yes alarming. Sis Sung had to kill it for us because all 3 of us were freaking out. That night when I went to bed I was so afraid i was going to see another one. ehhh so gross. hahaha</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">On P-Day last monday we went to a way cool Buddhist temple. I took a lot of pictures. It was BLAZING hot and humid, but still fun. In a really pretty place by famous mountains so it felt good to be away from the city and kind of in the mountains. We also drank this Buddhist water that came out of the ground through this dragon mouth. ha ha. Everythign is SO Mulan. i felt like i was on Mulan when we were there. So fun!</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">ok i better go.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">rach: your week sounds like a party. thanks for the updates on everything. pray for lex! haha</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">dman: how are the braces? hope you are doing good.
