It is finally SPRING in Korea!! So so beautiful. Everywhere
we walk I want to stop and document because it is amazing! Flowers I have never
seen before (Arizona....), especially the cherry blossoms and Magnolias. We are
lucky because the temple is literally in the backyard of our church, so we were
able to take our English class on a field trip to the Seoul temple this week.
Also because it is spring and the weather is perfect, everyone is out on the
streets walking their dogs. I know you all know that Korean's eat dog...
(haven't been offered it yet ps.) But they also treasure them and dress them up
in colorful sweaters and shirts. So cute! I just love Korea <3
I know you all already watched conference, but because of
translation we get to watch it this weekend and I can't wait!! We are so lucky
to have the opportunity to listen to the words of our prophet and to receive
modern revelation to guide and protect us both spiritually and physically. I
have been SO amazed as a missionary watching the saints here in Korea. They are
the most faithful people I have ever met...especially when it comes to their
temple attendance. When they dedicated the Seoul temple, President Hinckley
left a promise in the dedicatory prayer that as long as the Saints are faithful
in their temple attendance, they don't ever have to fear an attack from North
Korea. The impact of the temple is so evident in their faith, their families
and their homes. As soon as you enter a member's home you can just feel the
promise of eternal families and it makes me want this blessing for everyone we
meet. I love this gospel and I am so grateful to learn the value of temple
attendance from the Korean people.
My favorite scripture this week: "And it shall come to
pass, that if the Gentiles shall hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day that
he shall manifest himself unto them in word, and also in power, in very deed,
unto the taking away of their stumbling blocks" - 1 Ne. 14:1
Have a good week everyone!!
