Hello everyone! How have you been today? I hope the answer
is "pretty freaking awesome, how about you?" to which I would
probably respond "Tubular".
This week has been lots of fun! To begin I spent three days
in two different threesomes, which both ended up pretty awesome. It's helped me
to see how to improve myself as a missionary, and we saw plenty of miracles
during that time, including a sit-down lesson from a contact on the street. So
much fun.
Then on Thursday, we took an hour and a half bus ride out to
Wonju for a zone conference, during which I nearly puked. I didn't, though, and
once there we heard a lot of great things from President Sonksen. He talked
about the progression of the work, specifically in Korea, and told us that now
is the time for a hastening of the work in this wonderful country, and how we
as missionaries can make that happen.
I can't speak for everyone here but I'm pretty stoked. I
love Korea (and you all should too but that's not the point) and I can't wait
to see the Gospel taught to the people here!
Since then, we've seen a lot of little signs of success in
our teaching and contacting that have shown us that what President said is
true- now is the time. Even in a little place like Gangneung, the work is
beginning to progress. The stone is rolling out of the mountain, and that's
freaking exciting! (Pardon my French)
That being said, those signs are still small. We haven't met
the Golden Investigator, and our current ones have yet been unable to meet. We
don't even have any new investigators this week, but the seeds are being
planted, and soon we'll get to the fields white and ready to harvest.
So my message to you today is to get excited! The Church is
true! The work is hastening! I love you all and wish you all the best through
good times and bad. Things are still hard, even for me... I haven't wanted to
wake up at 6:30 once my entire mission, and I'm not exaggerating. But through
it all remember that the Lord is in the details.
Be good, work hard, and as always, DFTBA,
~Elder Skinner 🐙
