The Special Power in Sharing

This week has been good and I'm super excited for all the things happening in our ward! Last week we met our investigator and a new time/place and it was really interesting because as we headed to our next appointment, we ran in 허미화s, the Sister from Bucheon that wanted to get baptized but her husband was opposed! It was a cool miracle that we were able to say hi.

We also were able to visit a member that's been sick recently and help her out with getting some rice and other various things. She is adorable! She asked us to call her mom and we're going to visit probably every week to help her out. We also were able to visit Amber! She moved hospitals a month ago to outside of Bucheon area and because I moved, I can visit her now!

We met one of our investigators who they've been doing the English program with and I've got to say, it was probably one of the hardest lessons I've ever taught. She really just has English interest because she strongly believes in her church and when we talk to her about religion, she thinks she's there to educate us. It was kind of rough but we're finishing the English program really soon.

We also had someone send us a text out of nowhere and she asked us to invite her to church! She's been pretty busy but we're going to try and meet her this week-- we're excited to see what could happen. We also had one other person look up our church on the internet, called another set of Sisters in a different area, and then was referred to us! We've been contacting her too and will hopefully be meeting her this week too.

Also yesterday after church the YSA ward planned a 전도 activity! So we brought a suitcase full of Books of Mormon (Book of Mormons? 몰몬경들)  and they just went out on the street and started talking to people like missionaries! It was super cool because despite not having a name tag or anything else, they were just sharing their testimonies. It made me think about how often we're willing to share our testimonies with random people we don't know or even those we know. 100% of the time I share my testimony during a lesson, on the street, or with a member, I can feel the Spirit. There is a special power in sharing what you know!

Transfers and Lunar New Year

Sorry, sorry! This week's gonna be short! We had transfers and Lunar New Year so missionary work was a little slower. I'm also adjusting to being in a new area and figuring out what's going on. We don't have a lot of investigators right now, but we have one that was able to come to a party we had for New Year's and she really liked it! We weren't able to teach her then but we're meeting her tonight and I'll let you know how it goes next week!

Lunar New Year

One of the perks of coming back to the same building is that I get to see all of the Gangnam members, even if they're not in the same ward. We were able to meet with some of our ward leaders, members, and less active members this week and I can tell it's gonna be great!

I don't have a lot this week but I do know that the church is true and through prayer, we can receive guidance and answers to our prayers! The scriptures invite us to study things out in our mind but the next step is to pray about it, which can sometimes be easy to forget. If you do though, I promise that God will give you specific guidance to your situation.

A little love from home--more than 2 months after it was sent.

Goodbye, Bucheon!

It's been a great week and we're a little bit stressed out because transfers are tomorrow and we're packing like crazy because it's amazing how much stuff you can accumulate when you spend 6 months in an area.

P-Day Activity to an Escape House

We had a fun experience this week where we met these really nice ladies on the street and they even gave us some money to go buy a warm drink because it was too cold. We talked with them for a bit, gave them our contact info and went off to continue talking to people. About 20 minutes later, we decided to jump on a bus and they were the only people on there! We got to talk to them again and it was a little miracle that they really needed to meet missionaries that day.

After Exchanges Dinner

We finished teaching our two little girls this week and we're going to miss them! Despite just wanting to learn English, they really did like learning about the gospel too and as a goodbye gift we gave them one more copy of The Book of Mormon marked so that they could find answers to their questions a little later down the road when they think about religion again.

We were also able to meet with 정선영s for the last time and we were able to share the Plan of Salvation with her! She asked us how she could know that it was true and we shared that the way to know is through The Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon really is the only proof or evidence we have of anything and the way to know anything is through The Book of Mormon. Even doctrine that may not seem connected at all, it all goes back to whether or not Joseph Smith was a prophet, which we can know through The Book of Mormon.

참 뜻 (Real Intent)

This was a great week! We had some cool miracles so sorry if this is long.

One of our new investigators we met this week and she lived in America for 10 years as a student! Her English is super good and she told us that lately she's been looking at all the different churches in Korea and has noticed that not all of them have all the same doctrine and it all is claimed to come from the Bible. We were able to share with her about the Restoration and she's been reading The Book of Mormon. She's also especially interested in living prophets, something that's been pretty hard for a lot of the people I've taught on my mission. She knew of President Hinckley and President Monson and asked what kind of people they were, which was really cool to explain!

We continue to teach the two little girls and we're finishing up the English program with them this week. Even though they're not able to come to church or continue meeting, we've had a good time teaching them and we know they've learned and progressed as we've met with them. Hopefully later when they're able to go to church by themselves, they'll remember what we taught and find missionaries then.

Probably the coolest miracle of the week was Abbie. Elder Moffit, who's serving in our ward, actually has a friend from back home that is currently living in Korea. In Bucheon. This week he reached out to her and asked if she would be interested in learning about our church and she was interested! We met her together, explained the restoration to her and invited her to church. And she came! She's actually learning Korean so she was able to understand a lot of church and was even taught the Plan of Salvation in Korean. She really wants to learn and it was such a cool experience because what are the odds that she is living in the exact area where Elder Moffit is assigned? There are no coincidences in the Lord's work.

I'm having a great time and we're seeing the Lord's hand in all that we do! This really is the Lord's work!
