She is an amazing Sister and made one of our toughest investigators
cry!! I almost didn't believe it! She was heaven sent! :) She also
shared with me a scripture her dad would share with missionaries when he
was a mission president and I really liked it.
Jacob 5:72 " The Servants did go and labor with their mights; and
the Lord of the vineyard labored also with them"- It reminded me that we
are not alone. That God is with us, working side by side each and every
moment. Whenever I feel discouraged or tired I find strength knowing
that God hasn't left me alone to do this work, his hand is constantly
there helping me along.
For example:
( haha I love my little missionary miracles)
This
week the Elders are having a baptism! Apparently this guy out of
nowhere called them for English interest, they started meeting with him 3
weeks ago, and he wants to be baptized!! ( Of coarse we are super
excited for them) But yesterday I met him at church, and he came up to
me and told me that it was Sister Marcy and I who were on the street one
afternoon handing out English flyer's and gave one to him!!!! I was
amazed that he remembered us, that we had just given him a flyer and
walked away... but that because of it he called the elders and now hes
getting baptized!!!!! It's funny because to be honest, some days I
dislike English flyering haha. But I feel like that was Gods way of
reminding me that it doesn't matter what exactly I am doing to serve,
and long as I am serving and working, he will put the people who are
ready to hear the gospel in our paths!
So yeah my testimony of Gods hand in the work is
growing more and more each day! We went and visited that little old lady
we found knocking doors and she was super embarrassed we showed up
because her daughter was there and answered the door. haha she was
like... uhhh mom... theres some weird foreigners here asking for you...
She told us to leave and come back later. :P Oh I just love awkward
missionary experiences.
Overall this week was pretty good tho. I did pass
off again.. haha I have to re-do it on Wednesday, but Elder Sol was
really nice about it, and has helped me to actually like having to take
Korean tests. It's hard not to get frustrated with myself, or
overwhelmed, but I'm realizing that it all has to do with my attitude
towards it. If I enjoy doing it, and am happy during pass off, even when
I fail its not a big deal. ( I just need to keep being happy about not
being able to speak haha) But its actually not that bad, I am constantly
impressed with how much I am learning, even though I still feel like I
can't say anything. Heavenly Father has a way of helping us accomplish
what he needs us to regardless of our abilities. Also I LOVE SISTER
MARCY! hahaha <3 Shes great. After going on exchanges and coming back
to being with her I felt like I was at home again! It made me realize
that home really is when you are with the people you love. I've been
blessed to have super solid companions so far! ( I'll attach a photo of
all of us together)
The Pictures are from the Cherry Blossom Festival
this week!!! All the missionaries got together for one last big activity
before the mission splits :( I am super sad that so many of the
missionaries I've been serving with I won't see again!!
I also wanted to announce that I am officially a frumpy sister
missionary hahaha. I brought some cute shoes on the mission, and I
realized that comfort is better than style haha. This morning I put on
the cute shoes I brought to show sister Marcy and she laughed at me as
she watched me put them back in the closet and put on my black tights
and thick strapped cloggers haha. What can I say, the mission has taught
me to love comfort more than style :P haha it happens to the best of
us.
Anyways! I just wanted everyone to know how much I love you!!!
Thank you for all the letters and support!
p.s-
if anyone wants to send me Cadbury Mini Eggs&& any of Sara
Baril's music, you just might become my favorite person in the whole
world. :)
LOVE YOU!
사랑해요!!! <3 <3
