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