Week 71

Dun... dun... duuuuunnn... October is coming to a close!

This week was filled with good and bad. We had really good lessons with 3 investigators, but also had 3 cancellations with investigators and potential investigators.We also had to drop two investigators because they no longer contact us or are to busy to meet these days. That was a bummer, but we were so busy this week.

Crystal (our Mongolian investigator) is doing great. We met her with a member this week and had a great lesson. She is so open and searching for the truth. Every time we testify of the gospel she just can't help, but smile. At first I was worried that she wasn't understanding us, but she just talks about the light that she can see in our eyes. When we talked about prayer she said she knew God would answer her prayers because she could see it in our eyes! She is amazing! We are going to try and give her a baptismal date this week so if you could pray that she accepts it we would be really grateful :D

GaYoung (our Vietnamese investigator) is also doing well. We met at a Cafe and taught her some English. She is so cute! For the gospel part she had a lot of questions about how our church is different from the Catholic religion. She wants to become a nun because she loves God so much. We are excited to teach her more and help her grow closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ!

Jon SeongMi (our Korean investigator) finally met with us this week! For the past transfer or so our schedules just haven't matched up so we haven't met her once. We were getting ready to drop her when she randomly texted us after cancelling our appointment and we were able to meet with her within an hour. We went to her home and did the English program. I think that she has some good potential. 

Thursday was our p-day and we got to go the the temple! What a tender mercy that was! It was such a blessing to feel the peace of the temple. It was long overdue. We were able to do baptisms and an endowment session. Meeting President Turner in the Celestial room has been one of my favorite things on my mission. We got some really good pictures, but I'll have to send them next week.

Afterwards we went to a ice skating rink and had zone p-day. That was hilarious. All of the elders were horrible at skating! We got some really good wipe-out pictures. but those will have to come next week also. We are having some technical difficulties here. It was so much fun to be with everyone :D

Last week I was also able to go on exchanges with the lovely Sister Eversole. We had a fun time in her area, Gimpo. It was a fun experience going to a new area. Sister Hill and Sister Knowlton (both greenies) had a really fun time in Cheongra. They met a member and also went skateboarding by themselves for 45 minutes because they misread a text from the Elders ㅋㅋ But they ended up getting 5 numbers all on their own.

English class is great. Sadly one of my students moved to Busan so our class is down to 3 students. The new program we were suppose to start in November has been delayed until the new area presidency can review it and make it better. One funny quote that happened when we had a potluck after class was my student telling met to "eat yourself". She was trying to tell me to eat a lot. I about lost it and spit out all the food I was chewing at the time. She is so funny!

Our ward also had a Halloween party. That was so dang stressful. We were put in charge of decorations so this week we were running around trying to decorate with the spare time we had in between appointments. It turned out really well though and the ward had a great time. Sister Hill and I made a spider piñata.

Yesterday we had a fireside with the Area Presidency and the General Young Men's Presidency. It was amazing! You could really feel of their divine calling to serve as leaders to guide us. Something he said really struck me hard. He said "When was the last time you rescued someone?" He talked about how we are here to rescue Heavenly Father's children. We are here to help those who don't have the gospel, who are less-active, or even those who are fully active but are struggling with things. His talk was amazing. He shared stories from his mission in Spain and man was it inspiring. I felt so pumped to go out for the next weeks and just give it my all to help those in need! I hope that you guys will do the same this week!

Love you all!

P.s. Oh yeah... we got smart phones this week. We'll be opening them today. I don't really know how I feel about them.
