So many goodbyes...

Let's hope a picture says a thousand words...

God's Work

며칠전에 한국어 몰몬경을 다 읽어서 간증을 나누고 싶었어요!! 12살때 처음으로 몰몬경을 읽었는데 처음으로 간증을 얻었어요^^ 읽다가 매일 매일 더 큰 평안을 느낄 수 있었고 그 느낌은 성신인 걸 알게 되었어요. 이제 한국어로 읽어서 다른 언어로도 참되다는 것을 간증 드릴 수 있어요! 한국에서 1년반동안 몰몬경에 대해 나누면서 정말 행복했습니다! 이책은 하나님의 말씀이라는 것을 알고 또 하나님이 우리를 사랑하신다는 걸 압니다!

A little bit ago I finished reading the Book of Mormon in Korean and so I wanted to share my testimony!! When I was 12 I read the Book of Mormon for the first time and began to gain a testimony. As I was reading, I could feel more peace everyday and came to know that that was the Holy Ghost. Now that I've read in both Korean and English, I can testify that it's equally true in both languages. As I've been sharing about the Book of Mormon for the last year and a half, I have been so happy! I know this book is God's work and that God loves each and every one of us!

Mom's Title: Only 9 Days Left

Last week we ate lunch with the 1st ward Bishop at a place called Butterfinger pancakes. He was a little skeptical about it but by the end of it, he was trying to steal my food. I got a giant pancake stack with bananas, oreos, ice cream, banana compote, and even a cheese pancake. It was super delicious.

We also got together with everyone we came to the MTC with! We played a bunch of games and even did a little throwback of reading all the quotes we'd written down at the MTC. It was so fun to hang with them but it still feels surreal that I'm leaving.

The entirety of Tuesday was spent moving. We only had one van and we'd have to haul everything down from one house, load it up, drive to the other house, unload, and repeat. But our new house is so nice. We're up on a hill which is the reason why we moved-- the senior couple had a hard time walking there. We're having a good time and are especially grateful to be close to a park and grocery stores!!

Bye, Old House

Look at those closets. I feel like the Power Puff Girls

We met 이화인s and had a good discussion about the Restoration. It turns out she has a hard time believing in God which is pretty fundamental so we're working to help her both feel and recognize the spirit. However, she attended a Christian school so she understands everything logically. She has a lot of potential so we're excited to see how her experience praying was.

We had exchanges this week and both Sister Pari and I served in Songpa with Sister Rundall! We had a great time and the ward mission leader feed us chicken fajitas and tacos. I was so happy. We had a good time 전도ing because all of the appointments fell through. :(

We had a zone language study activity this week and I was asked to teach at it. Apparently they think my stroke order is nice enough that I talked about how to have good handwriting in Korean.

The missionaries in our building

We also met Mia and had a really good lesson with her! The principle of eternal families really seemed to resonate with her and we were able to start discussing the Plan of Salvation. She really seems to be opening to the gospel but she's so busy it's hard for her to internalize what we're teaching besides in the time we meet. We'll see what happens as we continue to teach her.

I can't seem to remember anything else. Missionary work is the best!! 

Love you!!!!!!

Surprise: You're moving!

This has been a good week-- super busy though. We got a phone call from President this week that we're moving houses tomorrow so we've had to prep for that this week.

We were able to meet Mia, 신옥s, and our new investigator 이화인s! We're excited to keep seeing them progress as we had good lessons with all of them.

We also had our annual hike to 남한산성 a giant fortress on top of a mountain. We went with the Incheon zone and were able to do zone conference up there and receive training about how to be better missionaries. We also had a training centered around some rocks that we took up with us-- the size of our two feet put together. Last year when we went our rocks were much smaller. However, the lesson was that we can choose to put our weakness down, in fact we don't even need them. But as we get rid of those weaknesses, we can walk away and know exactly where it is and know that we don't need to go back. Also as we choose as a group and as a mission to let go of those things, it builds a giant pile. A giant foundation where we all help each other. Since I'd gone last year, I was expecting what the training would be and I had a little bit of time to think about my rock beforehand. And I was dreading even putting it in my bag. But sometimes in life, even though we know that picking things up, doing things in a certain way will only make our life harder.

Sharing my testimony

I've been thinking about that a lot this week-- how often do we choose to pick up an unnecessary burden? Complain our way through things and make ourselves miserable? I'd invited you to think about those things, choose to put it down, and not look back!

사랑해요!
