Hiiiii!! This week I saw Doris (성희) for the REAL last time - I promise…
she's in America!!! I think our 5th or 6th "final goodbye" ...but she
arrived, went to temple square and ate Cup Bop! I feel sooo lucky to have met
her my first day in Seoul, Korea. She was baptized 4 days before I came and was
the strongest convert on planet earth. In 3 months she became my best friend
and I learned so so much from her testimony and desire to help the
missionaries. My heart was just a little happy (Best ever!) when she sent me
her pictures in front of Salt Lake temple this week!!
This week I was thinking about in 3 Nephi where Christ talks
about knowing His church by their fruits. 3 Ne. 14: 18 "A corrupt tree
cannot bring forth good fruit." Being on a mission, I've really come to
recognize how our lives, our happiness are evidence that this Church is true. I
have never seen anything negative from following the Savior and striving to
live His gospel... but I have personally experienced it improve lives, bring
hope, change priorities, strengthen families, heal... bring so many blessings
to enrich our lives and lead us to real happiness. It is ONLY "good
fruit." Before my mission, I was so focused on all the wrong priorities...
which I thought would make me happy. But then would always leave me thinking,
"Ok. What's next?!" The joy was so temporary and I felt like I was
always, almost searching for happiness. I can promise that the only way to find
true and lasting happiness is from learning of Jesus Christ, applying His
Atonement and following Him. As we focus on the Savior, our lives will work out
as they are supposed to, our priorities will change, our families will be
stronger and united, and we will be able to say we are truly happy.
Love you all! Have a happy week!!!

Also this week:
---I love Korea!!! In Seoul they have these places called
Board Game Cafes. You sit down in comfy, couches/booths and receive a menu full
of all the board games you can order! Seriously! The lighting is dim, can order
food, everyone is so intense... so funny. We went for DORIS's last Pday in
Korea and played Clue - I won. :)
---Also.... our rotten egg experience!!!!!! Traumatized.
When I first came to Korea… I was SO surprised when my companions kept our eggs
outside of the refrigerator (it was January)... but just accepted it and
thought it was Korean culture. Soooo. Now it is a million degrees and we don't
have air conditioning in our apartment. We went to make eggs this week and it
was BLACK! I think I went blind and cried. Literally traumatizing experience. I
will never eat eggs again.
