This week was SO GOOD!!!! BEST WEEK YET! I wish I could
just send you my brain so you could re-live it haha. On Tuesday last
week I went on Exchanges with Sister Gardiner from Utah, It was so much
fun! We were out in her area which is COUNTRY!! it was so weird to not
see large buildings all around me. I feel like she was able to teach me
so much, and help me with all the things I've been struggling with. We
were able to make a new language study plan together and talk about
everything todo with missionary work. She has helped me to love my
companion more, and to work more diligently and have fun while doing it.
This week I realized how much fun missionary work
is!!! Seriously this week changed the way I've been looking at things.
As I strive to find the good in everything the work hasn't felt like
work- It's just been fun. haha I also realized that the most important
thing is my relationship with my companion. Seriously!! I love Sister
Pak and this week everything has been working so much better because
I've stopped thinking about myself, and have been putting her first.
Shes teaching me so much and I feel like each day I'm learning and
growing in ways I never thought I would! But most importantly I'm
learning to be patient with myself, and to enjoy each moment to the
fullest.
This Gospel is a plan of happiness, so I should be the happiest
person in the world sharing it with others, it shouldn't feel like a
chore or something impossible. Missionary work is all about serving
others and sharing your happiness with them!
The language is getting better too! I'm finally
starting to understand more and more. I still can't speak haha but my
companion translates for me most of them time when people look at me
like I'm crazy. I'm starting a list of all the funny things I say and
the craziness of Korea - I'll send it in a few weeks once I have
pictures to go along with everything. I LOVE the members here so much!
They are the greatest, they are such a great support to the Missionaries
and want to help us in anyway possible. I wish there was more we could
do for them. This week we made cute message cards for them! I'll attach a
photo :)
BIGGEST NEWS!!
Our investigator is
getting BAPTIZED!! :) Her baptismal date is on January 20th. I love her
so much!! I'll write all the details in a letter home, I don't want to
put too many details about the people here on my blog since I don't have
their permission but just know she is amazing and I love her! When she
accepted the commitment to be baptized I was overcome with a feeling
that she was a part of my family. She is the sweetest little lady ever! I
think shes about 80, and just is the sweetest most caring person you've
ever seen. Yep thats my big news :) :)
Life is good, don't worry about me! I'm falling more
and more in love with Korea each day. I can't believe how time is
already flying by, I just want it to stop so I can soak it all in. Each
day the food tastes better, I'm understanding more of the language, and
my love for the people is growing stronger and stronger.
LOVE YOU!!!

Thermal tights are your best friend ;) especially when you wear 3 pairs at once.
