What's up!
This week was really good... Although my family was
enjoying a leisurely Disney cruise in the Mexican Riviera while I was
enjoying some bitter autumn weather, it was all good! Just kidding. haha.
I'm glad my family made tons of memories this
last week even if it was without the life of the party present. I
actually feel bad that everyone went on a vacation without me. Send me
pictures soon family!
A lot actually happened this week. I went to a different area for one day last week.
강동 (Kang-dong). It's a pretty nice area! We
taught English class there and the English class members asked me if I
could come every week because I'm funny. That's always pleasant to hear. right?
Then we streetboarded there. I was with Elder Olson.
He's in the group that went into the MTC 6 weeks after me. So it was
fun to hang out together for a day and talk and work together.
We also had interviews with our mission president
last Friday! He's such an amazing mission president. I had a few
questions and when I asked him it was like he knew the answer well
before I asked the question. He made me feel so much better
about my missionary work and helped motivate me even more.
Yesterday 윤상영 received the
gift of the Holy Ghost! It was so awesome. He was crying a little bit
after. He was so prepared. He wrote us each letters too. I don't
understand all of mine yet because it's in Korean,
but I'm working on it! He told us that he felt like we came here so
that we could meet him and teach him about the Gospel. He seriously is
such an amazing guy. Right now he is trying to get into college because he
hasn't done any college yet. He's 26 years old
and so it's been kind of hard to get into college and he has been
declined by several schools. If you could pray that he gets into a
college that would be amazing! He was discouraged the other day so we
made him cookies and a note and printed a picture of us
together and got a frame and took them to him at his house. We shared
scriptures about how we can't get discouraged but we need to keep going
so that we can figure out the Lord's plan for us. Satan wants us to get
discouraged. He loved it and told us that
he would pray even more. He's perfect!
Yesterday we had a new investigator come to church. His name is
황규원 and he's only 11 years old. His family is less
active. We went to his house on Saturday and then we went to his house
again yesterday and picked him up and took him to church with us. I
really felt so grateful for my life and my parents
after we met him on Saturday. His parents are too busy to spend time
with him and don't really do much with him. He's always on his own and
he's only 11 years old. We asked him what he ate for dinner and he said
ice cream. I felt so bad. My parents always
took care of me and fed me and spent time with me and I will be forever
grateful for that. I was also humbled that his family was living in an
apartment that was about the size of my bedroom back home. It made me
feel like a snob. I've been blessed with
sooo much. We want to really help him and be his friends and help him
make friends at church and teach him more about God and the gospel.
Yesterday we went to 이천, pretty far from our area. Elder Jung had to do a baptismal interview
then we came back and went to the other side of our area to meet with
Jeff and Cynthia. I think I mentioned them last
week. They feed us every week and let us choose what we want to eat
since they buy food on the base. We had steak fajitas! Sooo amazing.
Anyway that was our week! Pretty good week and I'm sure my family had a
good week! Tomorrow is temple day so we're pretty
excited to get to go to the temple. Anyway love you all. Thanks for
everything!!
