Hello!! Big news, big news: I am being
transferred!!! I'm going to an area called Taebaek 태백 with a KOREAN
companion!!! The area is 3½ hours away from Seoul and the complete
polar opposite of where I am serving now. It is actually the only name I had
heard of in the countryside because everyone always talked about how it
was the most country area of the entire mission...sooooo bring it on! I'm
guessing I will still survive without chocolate croissants, Mexican food,
taxis, NO English...SO different but I am really excited for the opportunity to
work, meet, and love a small branch and really embrace the Korean culture. Also I
heard it is beautiful there so expect pictures next week!
This week was SO great...especially because we were
able to watch conference the past two days. Amazing!! We actually only have an
hour to email now because we are sanctifying ourselves as a mission. One of my
favorite quotes from Conference was from Elder Holland's talk, "sanctify
yourselves. For tomorrow the Lord will work wonders among you." The email
news was shocking at first, but I know we will see miracles here in Korea as we
really submit our will to the Lord. Right now we are working with two families.
We asked the oldest son of the family to join the lesson this week (he is
usually at their study classes...because Korean's have insane school schedules)
and seriously total game changer. He is so prepared, asked a lot of questions
about the Plan of Salvation, prayed in the end and wanted to come to conference
with us. We also celebrated with 성희
who finished her BYU application this week!!!!! We celebrated with Sushi and
free Magnum ice cream they were handing out on the street :) Also, we found a
cat cafe this week...which is just a regular cafe with 6-7 cats sitting in
chairs and couches. Sister Lee loved it…I was afraid. Ahhh I love Korea!!
I have been focusing a lot on Nephi lately and my favorite
Nephi quote was from 1 Nephi 17:50 "If God had commanded me to do all
things I could do them." I love how Nephi always had so much faith,
because he knew that no matter what God asked Him to do, God would enable him
to accomplish it. Through that faith he never doubted, knowing God had perfect
trust in Him to fulfill his calling.
Have a good week everyone!!! I'll send pictures from Taebaek
next week!^^
