A Week of Conferences!

This week has been great! Because of a time difference and translation, we got to watch conference yesterday. So in preparation for conference, we got to have fast Sunday, zone conference, and a special conference with a teacher from BYU. Man did I feel prepared to hear the prophet's words.
The bishopric bought a Polaroid for us to take pictures with investigators because they have a book of investigators. But we couldn't figure out how to work it and it took a couple of white pictures. So the elders showed us how and then we got to use it with our investigators. The picture on the right is me, 송유진 (our investigator) 고유정 (an RC) and 이수기(my companion).
My first mission zone.
This week we got a new investigator! We met a grandma our very first day here at English class and she asked if she could call us everyday to practice English. So everyday for 10 minutes, I talk to her in English. Because of that, she said she wanted to learn about our church! So we're going to start doing the 30/30 program with her except she can't read things that are small so we're enlarging the pamphlets in English. English and Religion time. Aren't we sneaky. She is so prepared though. She told us the other day that she really wants to learn English so that she can tell other people about Jesus. Who does that besides Mormon missionaries?
(A little taste of home--cake mix cookies.)
We met with 고유정s(the RC) again. She is the best fellowshipper ever. We had a picnic with her and another investigator and talked about the Book of Mormon. Our investigator really knows the gospel but she doesn't feel it yet. So we're hoping to help her really feel the spirit this week and realize why it will help her. Right before the picnic, our investigator texted us that she couldn't come because she was sick. Nooo! But my companion said "We tried to have the picnic on Wednesday and then we couldn't and it ended up being bad weather so Heavenly Father wants us to have it today. Let's pray" So we did and then she came! Miracles!

Zone Confernce
Conference was so good! I really liked how it was focused on the Plan of Salvation and Christ, because that's what it's all about. Sometimes we can get sidetracked with all the other things the church does, but it always comes back to Christ and why we're here.

Love you all!
