This week started with our
trip to 경복궁 Palace in our Korean traditional dresses. Sooooo
amazing…and huge!! We needed 4 days to really experience it...and had under 2
hours...but beautiful. Also funny story: Park Dobby's 10 min. of fame. We were
walking and a lady came and asked me to do an interview in my dress (foreigner
power). They gave me this "instrument" - a round, flat circle with a
wooden stick - and asked me to guess how to use it. At first I thought maybe
music so started tapping it and dancing...no. Then maybe cooking so I started
stirring it....anyway! It's a Korean circus toy that you spin on the stick!! I
will try to send video :)
This week's miracles!! First
our Korean Investigator who learns English with us. She is the cutest! When we
first started 30/30 English gospel program...she focused during English and
then would almost sleep during lessons. But as we have continued to meet her
and show her love...practicing ABC song, showing pictures of family, teaching
me an old Korean song and learning together, pulling out her iPhone and SO
slowly typing abc and sending to random people....she became someone we really loved
and she gradually opened her heart to accept the gospel. This week we invited
her again to be baptized...she said no because another church (only goes bc
they allow her to exercise there....). We felt to ask her about her personal
prayers and relationship with Heavenly Father...and she has never prayed on her
own before. We promised that God knows her, she is His daughter and will answer
her prayer about baptism. She was tired and wanted to quickly leave but agreed
to say a "short" closing prayer. She started out just briefly
thanking for the opportunity to learn English...then paused for a minute. Then
she started to cry and gave the most humble, sincere prayer. She closed the
prayer, paused, then started a second prayer. The spirit enveloped the room and
we were all crying together. 뿌듯해요!!
Oh my there were so many this
week and I have no time :/ But all I can say is this work is amazing and I am
so lucky to be a part of it. Heavenly Father knows and loves His children and
is a part of every little detail of our lives. He knows to place us on a subway
at a certain time, knows how to lead us to a specific members home, and knows
the person who will find our card with our number (the 3 cards I accidentally
dropped on the street bc I didn't want to carry a bag...), call, come to church
and find the hope he was looking for his whole life. When we put Heavenly
Father first and serve with Him and for Him in everything we do, He will bless
us and we will see miracles.
Love you all!
