Busy, busy, busy!

This week was so busy I don't even know where to start!

We went to the temple and it was so good! Sister Morgan and I did baptisms and we were able to take some of Sister Turner's family names through for her. We also went to the distribution center and ran into a missionary that I was in the MTC with who is serving there and her family lives in the ward I'm in! We took some pictures to send to her mom.




We met a new investigator--신옥s. We actually found out when we met her that she lives in a different area so we will need to refer her, especially because she seemed interested in coming to church. She had so many questions and we were able to have a really good discussion so we're excited to teach her a time or two more. ^^ Then we went to an appointment with a former investigator whose dog peed on my foot. Two very different appointments.



Because of the service at the Olympics, we also had a big Helping hands service project with the stake where we invited all those that had attended the Olympics to come. Not many of them ended up coming but we were able to clean up Yangjae River and spend some time serving with the members.


We don't have a lot of time but the church is true and I'm so happy that I can helping other people to learn that too!

Feeling the Spirit

First of all, gotta give a little shout out to Jacob who got his mission call! Super excited for him! (He's going to the Washington Tacoma Mission, Spanish speaking.)





This last week we were finally able to start recent convert lessons with Sister KimNa which were great. She recently got a new job which makes meeting her a little bit harder but she's doing great. We taught her the Restoration and watched the Joseph Smith video which she really liked. Every time I watch that video, I'm reminded of my testimony of Joseph Smith.


We had a really cool experience with another recent convert this week. We ate dinner with her and another member and we were thinking about what message we should share to help her. We discussed it for quite a while and finally decided to share about patriarchal blessings and the Liahona. Halfway through the meal, she stops and and says "Lately I've been thinking about Patriarchal blessings. How do I get one?" It truly was the spirit guiding that message because there's no way we could have picked something so perfect for her.


We've been pretty busy this week preparing for a giant service project this week. At the Olympics, people that visited made letters to themselves about how they would serve this year. As part of it, we got to deliver their letters to them again and invite them to a service project. It was so fun to see their reactions as they read their own letter again. Service truly does bring the spirit! While we were visiting, we also ran into a man that's getting baptized next month-- in Canada.



We also had the chance to teach our Gospel English class this week which is one of my favorite things to do and we only get to do it about every 6 weeks. We shared about temples and family history and it was so fun to see them get so excited about family history. I even showed them my family tree and they loved that you can see pictures and stories.

There are so many ways that we can feel the influence of the spirit! Don't forget to look for it!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! We had a great mother's day with our mission mother, Sister Turner and also Elder Renlund! We had a super great conference with both Elder Renlund and the Area Authority, Elder Choi, learned a whole lot, and are even more excited to get back to working harder than ever.

백수미 BaekSuMi--We met her when we went back to Bucheon.
Last week we had family home evening and it turned out great! Sister KimNa came, 2 other recent converts, and some members. The Elders taught about the Book of Mormon and then we tried applying it to ourselves and drawing pictures. Turns out that Sister KimNa has a secret talent of art. We had a super fun time.

Story of Ammon
김경아 KimGyeongAh. We drew Samuel the Lamanite.
We did a lot of 전도 this week and have been pushing ourselves to talk to more people. And we've seen so many miracles. Sister Morgan met someone while stickerboarding that asked if he could come to church and when we texted him the church address, also asked if he could bring his friend! Because of our meeting with Elder Renlund, we weren't able to go but he said he'd go next week. So we're excited for that.

We found Jamba Juice!
Sister KimNa also gave a talk in church yesterday and she did so good! Sister Morgan and I felt like her mother a little bit and were so proud of her because we've been able to witness her progression first hand. She bore her testimony about the happiness she's found and about eternal families. We're so excited for her to keep progressing inside the gospel!

Sister Pari, 이혜원 LeeHyeWon and Me
In other news, our investigators haven't been responding lately so we're continuing to look for new people. Missionary work is great though and is the happiest work!

Happy, happy, happy!

This week has been, as always, super busy! It rained about half of the week so we didn't go outside as much as normal but we still were able to 전도 a lot!


Sister Pari came this week and she's doing super great absorbing all of the information Sister Morgan and I throw at her. Perks of having 3 areas. It's super fun though and it's been a blast. We're working hard at talking to everyone and we were able to talk to double the amount of people we normally do, despite not being outside as much.


We also got to take a field trip to Incheon with the Gangnam 1st ward! They had an all day long picnic involving rented buses, a ferry, and so much meat. We had a great time bonding with the ward and also getting to know their non member friends that they brought along that were okay to meet again! We're excited to keep working with them because member missionary work is the best missionary work. ^^


Sister KimNa received the gift of the Holy Ghost yesterday and continues to grow! She loves reading conference talks on her phone and the ward Sisters are involving her in everything they do. The gospel really is the way to be happy! Missionary work is the happiest work because that's what God wants for us!
