Good day everyone! It has been for us.
So this week has been pretty normal for us... a lot of
teaching, a lot of kimchi, and a lot of Korea! Which is all awesome so things
are still going pretty awesome!
One pretty exciting development that happened this week was
transfers! They changed up the transfer system a little bit so last week after
Transfer Calls I didn't really know who was coming in or where people were
going, but now we have a new Elder in our apartment! He is Elder Hong Gun
Young, from Ulsan! He's a pretty cool guy, and good at English to boot.
In other transfer news we got a new sister missionary
straight from the MTC! So I'm not the youngest one anymore!
Other than that, it's been hot and sticky still but it's
been slowly getting cooler, and I hear it's gonna keep going like that, but
also that monsoon season is coming in pretty soon too! It's gonna be super
exciting! -scared-
Still not a lot of success out here. We've been trying hard
though and I'm sure soon we'll find some people that are willing to hear our
message.
This week I've had kind of a realization of just how
important the Restoration is to our gospel... Of course, without it we don't
have a church or a Book of Mormon, but it's also central to our focus as
missionaries. We are going out and teaching people for the sole purpose of
telling them that God's truths and authority have been restored, and everything
else is only secondary to that.
A lot of churches out here focus on the deeper, more
difficult parts of the Gospel (Revelations), but it's nice to know that our
Gospel is simple enough to be understood by a primary child and summarized in a
couple sentences.
Also during some proselyting time this week me and Elder
Bluhm got talking a bit about some of the ways Korea could improve (I mean we
love Korea but there are those things that we as members of the church
recognize could use some improvement), and we basically decided that the Gospel
solves all problems. So that's my message for tonight, the Gospel solves all
problems, no matter what. Guaranteed. I testify of that with all my heart.
Love you all! Hope you all have a great week! Go and eat
something delicious for me and Don't forget to be awesome!
