For our p-day we went to a Fortress in 수원. We had a great time walking around and going through a lot of museums. Almost everything was free because of the new year holiday! It was such a blessing. Since we had all day we spent a lot of time looking at everything. We learned a lot about Korean history and found some pretty neat stuff. It was just the 6 missionaries serving in my area right now, but we had a blast together.

We found the Great wall of Korea ^^ |
We also had the world wide missionary conference on Saturday. It was great to learn from the apostles of the Lord and other church leaders. I learned a lot about how we are suppose to be teaching people about the gospel. My favorite things was a comment that Elder Bednar made saying "all things gather together as one". The entire gospel has so many little parts, but everything is connected and comes together as one. Everything is connected as is part of the perfect plan of our Heavenly Father.
During the broadcast we also found out about the changes that will be happening to our missionary schedule. Our weekly schedule will be changing as well as our daily schedule. At the start of the new transfer we will have a lot more agency to choose when and in what order we do things. Normally we have a set morning schedule with our daily studies, but that is now going to be up to the agency of each companionship. We have a few things that we will have to do each day, but other than that each day will be different according to the needs of those we are teaching. Another big change is that my p-day now starts at 8am. It may also be changed to Tuesday, but our mission president is still waiting for approval on that change. There are going to be lots of things changing in the coming weeks. I am excited to see how they will help the Lord's work to move forward.
Korea is amazing and teaching this gospel is even better. This week I really saw how the Lord plans ever detail of our lives. We met with our investigator who is being baptized next week. We found out during our lesson that because of certain things she had to be interviewed by our mission president. That made her really nervous, but because of the member that we had present she was able to calm all of her concerns. Every experience that our member shared was perfect to help our investigator. It was amazing to see how the Lord knew that our investigator would need someone to perfectly relate to at this time. Their lives fit so perfectly it is miracle.
Another miracle we saw this week was when we went to do a language evaluation with one of our sisters. They live pretty far away so we decided to meet in the middle and do it at a cafe. Sister Carnahan and I got there early to find a place that we could sit down. We went to 3 different cafes, but all of them were either too noisy or really busy so we kept deciding to find somewhere else. Once we found a cafe we wanted to go upstairs, but that was also busy so we ended up sitting by the giant class windows near the front. Right before we started the evaluation a woman came up to us and asked us where the church was in this area. We found out that she had met with missionaries a lot time ago, but stopped because she had moved to a different area. She really wanted to start meeting with missionaries again, but didn't know how she could find them again. It was a miracle that we were in a cafe that she passed while walking on the street. We were able to get her information for the other missionaries in that area. The Lord has planned out ever detail of our lives. I can testify of it because if not that woman would not have found us.
I hope that you are all doing well. I am loving being a missionary here in Korea. It is such a blessing and I can't even express how grateful I am for all the things that I have learned and will continue to learn over the next year. I know that Jesus in our Savior and Redeemer and that our Heavenly Father loves each of us individually. I hope that you are all have a great week. I love and miss you!
