There's not a whole lot to report on this week. I spoke Korean and we tried to teach people about Jesus!
We got our new area map this week! It's too big for all of our walls. It's great though, because hopefully we'll be able to figure out where we're going now. We also made a new stickerboard entirely about English, because that's what most people are interested in. We haven't tried it out yet to see if the response is different, but we'll probably try that out tonight.
We consistently meet with one of the recent converts (RC) and she's awesome! Right after she was baptized, the sisters were taken out of this area so she hasn't had most of the lessons after baptism. So we teach her weekly so that we can make sure those get done but it's also good practice for my Korean.
The Elders officially 소개'd their investigator to us so we met with her. We're not sure how to help her though because she is still struggling to see why there needs to be one church if every church worships the same God.
We got together with the Sisters in our area for a 전도 활동 (proselyting activity). Proselyting is super hard here, especially for Sisters. So it was good to get a little pep talk so we can focus on that! We traded companions for that and it was interesting to see how people respond differently when you're two foreigners vs. a foreigner and a Korean. They were definitely more open to talk with us.
Yesterday in Gospel Principles, we were talking about the 2nd coming and the RC asked, "How can I prepare for the 2nd coming?" It struck me because we all know the 2nd coming is coming. We know the signs. But are we preparing? Are we willing to ask that question with the intention of doing what we need to do to prepare? This week as I've read the scriptures, I've thought what can I learn that will help me today? And it makes the scriptures so much more relatable. They really are for us today even though they were written hundreds of years ago.
I love you! Jesus loves you! Make good choices!
